Best Buy Is Ending Gamers Club Unlocked

Best Buy has been in the headlines a lot recently, just like other retailers, for every time it gets new PS5 stock. However, this time it's in the headlines because it's ending Gamers Club Unlocked on March 1. Not only does this mean all benefits will be discontinued, but all remaining memberships at this point will be canceled, and right now, there's no word of an alternative service. That said, subscribers will be issues a refund check equal to $30 for each unexpired membership.

Benefits will remain active until February 28, and even after the cut-off date, My Best Buy will continue. And that's it. That's all the retailer reveals. Again, not only is there no word of an alternative, but it's unclear why the service is coming to an end. All that's been issued is the email below, which the retailer has been sending out to members of Gamers Club Unlocked.

"We have an important announcement to share about your Gamers Club Unlocked membership," reads the email. "Thank you for being a My Best Buy member and part of the Gamers Club Unlocked program.
