Best Buy has the Nerf N-Strike Elite on sale this week for $19.99. If you are a Rewards Zone member, you can print a $20 off coupon for this particular game, making this free. Each coupon says it is good for 3 games.
If you are not already a member (as I was not) you can still get this coupon:
Go to www.bestbuy.com and click on "Reward Zone" on the top right and register. Once registered, go to the "Community and Clubs" tab at the top and click on "Rewards Zone Members Club". Sign up at the right with your system of choice. Go to "Special Offers" on the left. Fifth one down will be the coupon.
Thanks to yuugotserved over at SD.
This is confirmed at MANY locations!
Also, if you sign up for the Rewards Zone membership online, be sure to print off a copy of your card to take with you. Once you are signed in to the Rewards Zone, on the left under "Account Summary" you will see a link for "Print a Replacement card". May save you a little hassle in the long run.

It does say that, so I labeled it as YMMV. However, on another deal site, this is being confirmed all over the US. 90% (if not 95%) of the people are reporting this as working with no problem. So I say give it a go!!!
Is it possible to provide a link to the coupon? I am a Rewards Zone member, but I can't get to the coupon following the steps shwon in the original post.

This coupon states "(Limit 3 per offer)" Has anyone took 3 of these to the cash register and gotten them all for free? lol.. that would be kinda funny to see the cashier's face.

OP may have mistated where to look...look under the tab for Community and Clubs. Click the "Reward Zone Gamers Club" drop down. Look on the left side of the page for "special offers". I'll try a direct link...
I was shot down in South San Francisco last time with a deal like this. "On sale" status voided the coupon, or worked off of the regular price, making it $20.
All you have to do is sign up, then use your phone number, or email address at the register. No physical card needed.
Anyone else have success with this deal?

Got 3 in Dublin, CA this evening! The cashier paused when he saw the total of $0.00! Had to go see a manager first, but came back saying "I guess we really want to get rid of these...."

Finally had a chance to confirm this myself, and same thing here. Cashier had to get the dept. manager, dept. manager had to get store manager. But in the end they laughed in disbelief and said that it was all good. Confirmed in Barboursville, WV!

No good here in Albany, NY. Congrats to those of you getting this. Took it up to the register, it rang up 19.99, they scanned the coupon and it said 1 @ 00.00 off. When I inquired why it didn't take it off they said it was on sale. Can't argue that.
Worked in Norwalk, CT. System wouldn't take my newly Minted Reward Zone number. Buttinsky cashier from across the store kept telling my cashier coupon wouldn't work as item was on sale. My cashier ignored her and told manager he needed to enter a valid Reward Zone number. Manager came over, punched a few numbers in, and I was on my way.
Worst part about my experience? Blue shirt by the registers asked me why so many people were coming in today to get 3 of these and asked if they were on sale.. Cashier then informed me they could not take coupon. Then glanced over at the blue shirt smirking as he walked away. I'm sure they got a kick out of it. Made me kinda feel like an idiot though. I already have this game, and was getting it for the extra gun, and to give a set to my nephews.. Otherwise 19.99 is a great price on this, and I would have bought anyways, even without the coupon if I didn't already have it..
Shot down - the register wouldn't take the $20 off and cashier explained that coupons don't work on sale prices. Figured it would be pointless to argue.
On the upside (and potentially much hotter deal for some), BB is running the promotion - Buy Wii system for $199.99, get Sports Resort (a $49.99 value) free. A sales rep pointed that out to me when I was picking up those NERF software packages. At the store I was at, there was only one Wii system left, but the deal should probably work at other stores - if you're trekking out there already and missed out on the WalMart deal.
No go in Colma, Ca. Cashier was nice, said he didn't think it would work because it was on sale this week. Said maybe next week it would be back to regular price, $40, then I could use coupon. Absolutely pointless BB. Best part, I offered to put it back on the shelf, but cashier just put it behind the counter, on a pile of Nerf games. Haha.
Read the coupon. It says not valid on sale items EXCEPT for Gamers Bonus Points. I guess if you are registered in the Gamers Points Club, you are good to go. I'll try this tonight. Wish me luck.

That just means you can earn points on your purchase. I was shot down today also.
Tried in Boise, ID. No go here. The cashier started shaking his head as I walked up. He said he couldn't take the coupon because it was already on sale. He put it with a pile of them behind the counter. I asked him if many people had tried using that coupon and he said when people started carrying out 2 or 3 of them with the coupon is when they put a stop to it.
No go in Maryland as well. It did not ring up as a valid coupon.
When at checkout, the (friendly) cashier was helpful, and even checked with the manager to see if I could get the discount (manager said no - I didn't expect him to say yes, due to the obvious text of the coupon, but she was really trying to be helpful). The cashier next to her said that the coupon did work, and that he had seen it work already.
If I had to guess, the coupon did work yesterday (Sunday, the first day of the sale). At some point Sunday/Sunday evening, Best Buy corporate figured out the double sale (perhaps a number of managers reported it), and had the coupon combination invalidated for the duration of this sale.
At least, that's my guess....I should have gone yesterday. Also, it is sold out in most stores in the area at this point.
