Can I use the $5 monthly coupon on gift cards?

Yes you can in store but not online please note not all gift cards will apply to this rule.

I have a $XX.xx pre-owned reward certificate, and I want to use it on a B2G1 transaction. Should I?
It depends. If the three games are equal value, do not use your certificate. The value of the certificate would be applied to the free game, which would not benefit you. If one game is more expensive, you can use the certificate to make it the same value as the other two games ($5 reward certificate applied to transaction with two $10 games and one $15 game would make all three games $10).


TERMINOLOGY AND LINGO:
ASL/SL: Assistant Store Leader, Store Leader; manager positions at GS.
B2G1: Buy two, get one free.
GS: GameStop
JD: Junior detective, an employee who is out to get someone
LP: Loss Prevention; this is the department that actually bans accounts after being flagged.
TC/TiC: Trade credit.
TIV/TV: Trade in value, or what a game currently trades for. When posting a TV for a game, always use the base value.

Can confirm $12 refurb fees still apply to Dual Sense controllers

What do they usually look for when it comes to controller condition? My PS5 controller works perfectly fine, all buttons work, no drift whatsoever but creaks when squeezing or handling it...does that ding the trade-in value?

Usually drift,any busted ports or damage to controller itself

 

[NotNewHere]

You should be fine

There is a small trade bump across the board for a lot of titles.

Someone on reddit said you can get $390 trading in a Series X, Can someone confirm this? GS website is a cluster fk to look at sometimes. I'm thinking of trading in my launch model and holding off for that 2Tb model tbh.

Thanks so much. I think I'm going to get it packaged up to trade in then. I don't think I can beat that honestly lol.

I brought a Series X at launch using Xbox All Access. It was the only option, and I know GPU can be found cheap. I was happy to get one then. Now I'm hoping to get the new 2Tb model, Because I did buy the 1Tb expansion card near launch as well. But to upgrade to the 2Tb Expansion card is $200 +. So I'd rather buy a new system lol. Plus to get to use my 1Tb still.

Is There a way to look up the graded collectible trade values ?

Would be tempted if I didn’t have the halo one. Dang

Traded both my Series S ($210) and X ($390) and two xbox one controllers ($21.60 each). My gamepass was about to expire and I didn't feel like renewing it.

My issue was I couldn’t decide what I would spend the credit on. I don’t trust holding onto that much GS credit for to long.
