Greetings. I'm new around these parts. This is my first thread.

Original compliments of twen.

Game on.

[addicted2games]

Welcome, and thank you for bringing back the coupon.

[ozzymandd]

Meltdown averted. Thanks OP!

[nikkai]

Hmm.. hopefully this is real and not a duped copy... any chance to link to the OP email registry (ie: so we can sign up ourselves to check validity). Other than that, great job OP and welcome

[poisonedpawn45]

Nice, thanks!

[mephitical]

Weird - I can't seem to find the thread that was already started about this, but it was established that the html in the email sent to any new newsletter subscriber always points to the same location for the coupon image.

This means that (at least for now) if you already signed up for a new subscription to get the coupon, all you have to do is save the email and when GameStop updates the source image your email coupon will automatically update as well.

I also brought that into question in the original thread because even thou it worked for me it rang up as "promotion not found" on the receipt... but after digging in the the old thread's OP in the cache I did find this: http://www.gamestop.com/gs/newsletter/offer/welcome/newwelcome2_exp070607.jpg
which is directly from gamestops website, so I dont know if the OP went poking for the jpg and its just not available to public yet but it does exist.

Props to twen (old threads OP) one way or the other

[mkernan]

Yeah, the coupon is legit; its just a screenshot of the email you get when you subscribe to the Gamestop email newsletter. As previously mentioned, just subscribe once and hang on to the email. The html in the email displays the images from gamestop's webserver. They simply update the images to reflect a newer expiration date, so when you look at the original email again it will magically expire a month later.

That is, until they catch on that all us CAGs are using the coupon over and over and decide to do it a different way. I'd imagine that won't happen for a while though.

The cool thing is, you can't really get in trouble for using it again with the new expiration date, because its still just sitting in your inbox. Its not like you even have to sign up with multiple addresses or anything.

[Justin42]

I tried to sign up for the newsletter last night but didn't get anything at all-- no newsletter, no confirm, etc. I checked all the spam traps but nothing.

Do you get the email immediately or does it take a while?

It takes quite a while in my experience.

[jer7583]

I used this last night to get $13 off the legendary halo 3. He had to manually price it, though.

[CaoPi]

nice to see this coupon again

That's the expired one.

[Jewelz23]

thanks for posting this.

[PhantomaZero]

Used it on Halo 3 today, which I actually didn't plan to pick up at all. Thanks OP!

[Leek]

Umm...compliments to me pl0x? I brang the first issue :p

[argyle]

AFAIK, this coupon has always shown as "promotion not found" on the receipt, so I wouldn't be concerned about that.

[MorbidAngel4Life]

Thanks for this, I'm going to use it on Halo 3 when I get a chance to get out.

[botticus]

AFAIK, this coupon has always shown as "promotion not found" on the receipt, so I wouldn't be concerned about that.My last receipt shows Promo #2815. But we know it's valid, so it doesn't really matter what their computer says.

[Negative]

Verifying here as well, just used it, and showed "Promo #2815."

[yamakiyo]

I walked in a bought Halo 3 with the coupon this afternoon. No problems at all.

[humanremains2]

I really want to use this to pick up Soul Nomad tomorrow, but I'm trying to make myself hold out for the next GS B2G1 sale.

[yamakiyo]

Fuck you.

Thanks for the coupon.

[twen]

Thanks for the coupon.

Fuck off.

[blackbird3216]

I made a cropped version of the coupon, and a Contact sheet with 5 copies. What Gamestop doesn't know won't hurt them, right?:D

[twen]

Except that you're doing something illegal. Fuck off.

[twen]

My problem is these goddamn noobs, including yourself, can run around here, thinking they can bend whatever rules they want. Does that say crop the coupon and print it out? No, it says PRINT THE GODDAMN EMAIL.

I'm pretty sure you have some games to return to Walmart today too, don't you.

I'm pretty sure you have some games to return to Walmart today too, don't you. Does it matter if anyone prints out the whole email? The employees probably won't care or notice. Plus, there is NO small print saying "copies are not allowed" or anything. So how is this illegal? And why would you care if i crop it or not? BTW, the closest walmart to me is in NJ. They don't allow walmart in NY, so i don't shop there.;)

[elmyra]

Illegal? What law is broken when cropping the coupon?

[Jewelz23]

I would suggest not using a cropped coupon...it can only cause trouble.

[blackbird3216]

I would suggest not using a cropped coupon...it can only cause trouble. such as? I would say using the full email would be safer, but there is nothing wrong with a cropped coupon. saves ink.

[twen]

What the fuck kind of paper are you printing on that cropping half a page saves you paper? Are you cutting coupons, then shoving half sheets of paper back in your fucking printer?

[blackbird3216]

I meant to say only ink. Plus, rather than spending ink for the top part which is unneeded, you can use that to print another copy.Edit:I just realized i could use the coupon to buy Phantom Hourglass.

[twen]

You act like you're wasting a number percentage of ink when you print a single sheet of TEXT.

[blackbird3216]

So? A little goes a long way:D(btw, why do you seem so angry?)

[Moon Jump]

Thanks much for the coupon, printing it out now. Hopefully I can use it this weekend. Need to get some Marketplace points for my new 360 so every little bit helps!

[monkeydeew]

So? A little goes a long way:D(btw, why do you seem so angry?)

no reason to joo on the ink when you are getting 10% off player. dont tell me you are going to waste it on some crap 15$ used xbox game lol

[RandyTsai]

There is also a $5 off any used game $24.95 in their instore coupon book that can be useful.

[blackbird3216]

true. but ink is expensive. I'd rather buy a new game than a pack of ink. HA, waste it on some crap used xbox game? What makes you think i would use it on a used game(wow, a dollar savings) Moon Jump:so every little bit helps

[rjanak]

I used it today to buy Halo 3.

I'd tell you my experience using the coupon, but I think everyone knows how dull Gamestop employees are; so I'll spare you all the redundancy.

[dpadilla4]

hey, slim relax. You take this place too personal get a life.

[mephitical]

I think I see what happened to the other thread now too. Humorlessness makes me miss gamestopdave.

[AfroPig]

The only problem I see with the cropped version is that the two times I used the previous version, the employees (or managers I think rang me up actually) had to read the email for like 5 minutes and were completely clueless this coupon existed. I have a feeling without those instructions at the bottom of the email, they would not understand it.

[rolandvon]

This worked for me today for Halo 3.

[dble00dumb]

I used it on Halo 3, legendary edition... it worked, and for some reason they only charged me $1 in tax even though the balance on the game after trade-in credit was still $60...

[appleyum]

The link isn't working anymore :(

Can someone post another link? Thanks

[ChuckyDJ]

This is true. Its coming up as "page cannot be displayed" now.

[Negative]

Just received it in my email, further proof that it's working. I wish to thank GamestopDave for this. He had nothing to do w/ it, but the irony would be so delicious....

Thanks :applause:

[shrike4242]

My use of it on Halo 3 Leg Ed was denied on some BS reasoning that it couldn't be used on H3 CE or H3 LE. :roll:

[romefalls19]

I just picked my Halo 3 last night and used the coupon on that and she also rang up my wireless controller and all together it only cost me 83 bucks. Sweet deal considering my controller only costed 35.99.

[CGH]

Can the coupon be used on a used game or does it have to be new?

[Negative]

My use of it on Halo 3 Leg Ed was denied on some BS reasoning that it couldn't be used on H3 CE or H3 LE. :roll:

Call BS on em Shrike. If you want, I'll scan my Halo 3 Legendary receipt and send it your way, so you can throw it in their face.

It can be used for your next purchase, shouldn't matter if it's new or used.

[monkeydeew]

this also happend with my collector's edition. if i can find another ill just use the coupon there and return the full price one

[shnizzle66]

10/5, damnit!


why not 10/9!!!!! :(

[CGH]

I used the coupon to purchase gba Magical Quest $6.99 after the coupon and edge card discounts plus tax the total came out to a little over $6.00.:)

[tiredfornow]

Does this coupon stack with edge or that 5 $ off used coupon?

[starboyk]

All coupons work with edge, but not with any other coupon (unless specifically stated). As far as the code on this one, the employees have been generous (or dolts) in doing the "promo not found", as the auto-code doesn't work on any H3 aside from the plain ol' regular one. Same on Stranglehold, for some reason... Trust a brother. Doesn't work on hardware, either. If it worked for you, well, that's why I choose to hire competent chaps. Ain't cheap, but it's worth it.

[n2Deepeth]

Bump since it's good for a few days, particularly Phantom Hourglass w/ the cel art.

[AwRy108]

Used it to get Metroid Prime 3. Thanks!

[VoltronGuy]

Would this work on a preorder if I paid in full, like for Rock Band?

[meerkatgamer]

I'll try this on zelda:PH tomorrow the GS near me said they didn't get any today when I called hopefully they get it tomorrow.

Thanks for the coupon OP I don't think I ever got one like this when I registered my email.. ah well.

[pete5883]

Used on Z:PH. Thanks OP.

[sasukekun]

Thanks, used this to buy a Logitech PS2 Wireless Controller.

[Hibiwa]

The next one expires 10/19. Just a heads up to check your email.

[iamthekiller]

Used on Z:PH. Thanks OP.

ditto

[trublustang03]

Thanks for the coupon, I just used it today to get PGR4.

[Tom Ato]

I bought Soul Nomad and LoZ:PH on the same receipt and the coupon only discounted Soul Nomad. Last time it worked on two items. It's a damn shame I didn't notice until after I got home. But it's not worth the hassle of going back there.

[nathansu]

I'm wondering the same thing - would be great for Rock Band/GH. It doesn't explicitly say anywhere on the coupon that you can't use it for preorders.

Anybody tried this?

[harunim]

From my experience, you can't.

You need to have valid coupon the day you pick up your game.

[nathansu]

From my experience, you can't.

You need to have valid coupon the day you pick up your game.
Yeah, I imagined as much.

Although, it would be terribly fun to go terrorize some Gamestop employees due to the exclusion of any note about fully paid preorders. That is, after all, a purchase is it not?

The clerk needed to put the discount on to the games manually. He probably did it for one and thought it was done.

Preorders aren't purchases. It's basically "Hey, you seem like a respectable chap! Hold my $50 until I decide to use it, k?" While the clerk says "Yeah, wutever." That's why if you don't pick up a game you preordered, it becomes credit. It basically is credit, just with a specific target in mind.

[ChuckyDJ]

Anyone have a scan of the coupon expiring 10/19?

[Negative]
