EBgames "Cash for Stash" game = 30% off (w/ EDGE card) used game coupo

[CheapyD]

Just play this game and beat it (its easy) and get a printable 30% off used game coupon (only 20% off if you don't have an Edge card (http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/help/ordering/EBEdgeCardHelp.asp)).
There is an online code too, but it doesn't seem to work.
EBgames' Cash for Stash game (http://www.cashforstash.com/)

[jovherye]

Hey CheapyD! Just tried the link, but for some reason the game doesn't show. Is there something wrong with the link maybe? I've already tried adjusting my security settings, but still nothing. Any help would be great. By the way, thank you for this site! It's the best place for gamers like me!!! :D

[CheapyD]

Hmm..works for me.

[punqsux]

works for me too but i cant sit through that music...not for less than 60% off Xop

whats the online code cheapy?

[CheapyD]

I don't know...I didn't work, so I didn't write it down.
It takes about 2 minutes to beat that game, so I didn't bother.

[EndlessChris]

Coupon code works for me - FEBHDM75

Doesn't work with saver or pplay15 and you can only use it on one game. Not an amazing deal but eh.

[supadupacheap]

If we can get the online code and team it up with SAVER or dare I hope CAG16, THAT would rock!

[PhrostByte]

You can't.

[stemartin7]

I cant find a 30% off code, does anybody have?

[alfonsosoriano]

It gives you a 15%, 20%, and 30% off coupon.

But it's confusing me it says this on the 30% one:

In big letters

30% OFF ANY ONE PRE-PLAYED GAME!

*Or...get 30% off any one pre-played game (*ONLY 20% WITHOUT GMR SUBSCRIBER DISCOUNT CARD.)

wtf. So i don't really get 30% off?

[jovherye]

Got it to work! Had to mess around with my router!

[alfonsosoriano]

I got the code to work, but it gave me just 20% off. I don't know if it's one time or what...

[PhrostByte]

Are GMR subscriber coupon codes personalized? If not, can someone post it?

[Reality's Fringe]

FEBHDM75 Gave me 20% off :( 30% with edge card then ;). IF it worked with saver I'd be all over it.

[alfonsosoriano]

Edge works with it? So if you had this GMR subscription thing, and had the edge, you could get 40% off? Hmm...

[MorPhiend]

Are GMR subscriber coupon codes personalized? If not, can someone post it?

If you were a subscriber, then you would have one. The "C" in CAG stands for "Cheap", not "Cheat".

[nachzeher]

I think EDGE is the GMR subscription code. Back then when you subscribed to GMR, they would give you the EDGE Card as a bonus and proof of subscription or something.

[PhrostByte]

Are GMR subscriber coupon codes personalized? If not, can someone post it?

If you were a subscriber, then you would have one. The "C" in CAG stands for "Cheap", not "Cheat".

I'm too cheap to afford one :) But seriously, I did ask if they were personalized first? Like the edge card, I wouldn't ask for someone's edge card number cuz it's there's and it belongs to their account.

[spyhunterk19]

Its only an extra 5 percent online...but still good for in store extra 20 percent. The code is only worth 20 unless you have the card, its kind of a lie.

[alfonsosoriano]

Yeah, the extra 5% does nothing, because you have to pay for the shipping with these codes.

Crap.

[slidecage]

Yea but nice thing is 30% off in store. Usually only 10% off in store...

[guessed]

It gives you a 15%, 20%, and 30% off coupon.

But it's confusing me it says this on the 30% one:

In big letters

30% OFF ANY ONE PRE-PLAYED GAME!

*Or...get 30% off any one pre-played game (*ONLY 20% WITHOUT GMR SUBSCRIBER DISCOUNT CARD.)

wtf. So i don't really get 30% off?

If you have the card (worth it if you shop at EB or ebgames.com at all) you get 30% off, but without the card, you get 20% off. Not really that confusing.

I got the 30% one, but my printer is out of black ink, so I couldn't print it, d'oh. Now the tough decision, do I actually purchase new ink, or do I get another free after rebate printer, hmm, decisions.

[slidecage]

MAn the people at ebgames are going to hate seeing me. I just got level 3 30% off games printed off 50 copies (this is the main reason i dont use my printer at home for some reason the stupid thing is stuck at 50 copies for everything that prints ) now to hopefully find some great games ( 44.99 = 31.49 for almost new games no longer have to worry about the TRU deal anymore WOOOO

[Reality's Fringe]

I think they're only going to let you use one per day....but if you go back 50 seperate times, more power to you.

[alfonsosoriano]

Yeah, I know it's not that confusing, I'm saying it says you get 30% off, but then it says you doesn't.

[slidecage]

I probally be lucky to use 5 of them unless they got a great game that i can get dirt cheap and run it over to gamecrazy for an EZ 20 buck profit :)

Games i would love to find in this deal would be

Phatom brave, gallop racer 2004, Nba live 2005 and a few others the thing runs to almost the end of Nov ,,, NOV 27 I mean you could even find a used copy of Halo 2 by that date for 32 bucks... I will probally go monday to see what they got ...

[rocksolidaudio]

could someone be so kind as to link me to the coupon print page, if possible? for some reason the game runs incredibly slow for me so it's really hard to take. thanks.

[Reality's Fringe]

It's in the Flash Game itself.

[FunkSoulBrother]

If you use this coupon in the actual B&M store, there's no need to worry about free shipping, if you're in the same situation as me. I live close enough to EB, so I can actually walk there. Therefore, I can get 30% off and basically, free shipping, because I don't have to use the bus or something to get to the store.

[hiccupleftovers]

I too am having difficulty loading the game, could be that there is too great of an influx of people now that it has been posted?

[sj41]

Ha. I got $40 for like 25 games on the thing.

[auralia]

HOLY CRAP COULD THOSE COUPONS HAVE POSSIBLE USED MORE OF MY PRINTERS IN I THINK NOT!!!!!!!

[Nameless One]

Dunno if this breaks any rules or not (I could read them, but honestly - I'm too lazy and I'll let someone tell me if it is or not. Whoever you are, I hope you appreciate the honesty and don't be too rude about letting me know ;). ).

***edited by cheapyd - see a few posts below***

Who knows how much bandwidth I have there, its been a LONG time since I put anything up other than a sig. Sigs seem to last all month though - but then they're not viewed by thousands of people like here at CAG ^_^.

[Reality's Fringe]

I say Nameless, good show and all that rot!

[Richter]

when you print out the coupon, is the text above the dotted line on the paper?

[CheapyD]

Ah, you guys are killing me ;)
Don't post a link to the coupon, I'm trying to work with these guys!

The game litereally takes 2 minutes to beat (unlike the last game) and really there is no excuse to not just play it, beat it, and get your coupon like a man!

I edited out the link in the above post.

Thanks,

[racthamp]

which button for me to drop off my stuff? this game is hard..haha..

Yup, just as it looks in the screen cap, takes up about 60% of the page too. May wanna blow up the pic a bit, but I honestly don't think it will matter. Of course, I don't work for them so who knows. Still legible to me either way.

[Reality's Fringe]

......Oh...Well, I cut down the coupon to conserve ink for anyone who wants it...but beat the game first....then if you want it, PM me. If this is unacceptable Cheapy, let me know and I'll cease and desist.

[hiccupleftovers]

Eh..Forget it, I'll just pick it up another time. It's not letting me in.

[sj41]

I'd like a smaller coupon link if possible. I already beat the game and I even signed up for the EB newsletter. :)

[modium]

Wow, anybody notice one of the stores is named 'BAD BUY' ?

[el bobo]

That game was so damn easy...

[slidecage]

they had something like this back in may and june of this year Loved it . I saved over 100 bucks using these coupons

[Rig]

That was a cool way to earn a coupon. I mean, the game was easy and repetitive, but that's the most innovative way I've ever earned a coupon!

[jngx80]

How do people get the high scores. Is that 1500 pts in one game (just 3 levels)? I can only get maybe 200 pts. max. Do I just suck at the game or what?

[hohndog]

I played the silly game today to get the coupon. I made several copies just in case EB wanted one-per-game. They did. Picked up Psi-Ops for $18.89, Sudeki for $17.49, Megaman Anniversary for $18.89 and Red Faction (non GH) for $5.59. These are mint copies as I am one picky SOB when it comes to games.

On another note, I took some games to trade in to EB and the trade values were horrific. I explained the even Coconuts has better trade-in values, beating them by 100% or more. In one example, EB offered 50 cents and Coconuts offered $10. I mean it was that bad.

[smalien1]

How do you guys do this? the car doesn't even move!

[alfonsosoriano]

Arrow keys...

[smalien1]

My comp is to slow, it is so fucking laggy the car will barey move

So does that mean you check the discs each time you buy preowned at EB? Does the salesperson give you any trouble?

[Hair6a11]

why the **** would they give you trouble about that? just ask to see the discs first, and verify whether they have the instruction manual.

[jngx80]

Back to my question - how does one get a higher score in the game? I really want to try to go for it when I have some time.

[stemartin7]

Somebody post the codes.

That's why, in most cases, its not smart to trade in games at EB. I prefer Gamecrazy myself, but even their trade in prices have been getting a little low lately.

I used to be a big fan of trading in games, but I rarely do it now. I think its better to just keep the game, you never know when you'll want to play it in the future. If I really want to trade a game I'll usually just try to trade with someone through CAG, you get fair value for a game when you're trading for another game instead of cash.

[jshorr]

Great for in-store, thanks!

[Repairman Jack]

Yep! I went to EB for trade ins and they offered two dollars for three games. Went to Gamestop and they offered $22 (I only paid $15 for the games in the first place, so yay!). I don't even bother with EB, anymore.

Take a look at the fye trade-in values post. Fye is the same as coconuts and strawberries. They deffnitely give you decent values

blockbuster of all places gives decent trade in values too, i remember seeing on a paper that you could get 25 for mario kart: dd, came out like a year ago and you can prob get it for around that price if you look hard enough nowadays

[suko_32]

Too bad there's no FYE where I live I think.

[crucify]

You're supposed to use the left/right arrow keys to turn, right? My car doesn't turn. It sort of angles itself, but I can't get down the side streets to the EB.

Ok, I didn't realize that you had to press the direction/turn keys simultaneously. I'm pretty bad at this game. Oh well.

[hohndog]

So does that mean you check the discs each time you buy preowned at EB? Does the salesperson give you any trouble?

I check the disks, book, case and cover art. I have spare cases, but if there are any other issues, I pass. I'm a regular and they know I'm picky anyway. I hit them up with my list of titles when they are slow. They have no right to give you trouble. Its your money. They can sell their beat-up garbage to the unknowing.

[hohndog]

Yep! I went to EB for trade ins and they offered two dollars for three games. Went to Gamestop and they offered $22 (I only paid $15 for the games in the first place, so yay!). I don't even bother with EB, anymore.

I agree. My Gamestop has increased their trade-in values and always surpass EB. When EB has the extra $$ deals, they're not too bad. When they don't, you get $2 for games they resell for $18. Major ripoff. Game Crazy has good trade-in values as well. The problem I have with them, is the quality of their used games. Again, I am very picky. But, I've bought many used games over the past years that were basically brand new. And I just won't accept anything less. I just traded in a few more games to Coconuts today for top dollar. They didn't have anything I wanted, at a price I was willilng to pay, so I'll have to wait for their next sale ad. Oh, but I did pick up Moto GP2 for the XBox sealed at Coconuts for $39.99. They just got it in, in a warehouse shipment. Sweet.

[slidecage]

anyone else think the wording on the coupons is werid....

Also be careful when printing off coupons I ended up with 150 coupons (hit print 50 ,, the only setting my printer can do) the thing prints out 50 of each coupon so 150 total It killed my ink

[Cornfedwb]

okay, the coupon is the same for every1 so if you want it I ll give it over AIM only

Did you just ignore cheapy's last post? Do NOT give the codes out, if people want the codes they can take the few minutes it takes to play the game. We're just starting to get in good with EB, and people screwing around like this is not the way to continue to stay in their good graces.

[slidecage]

it would of rocked if there was 2 coupons

1 30% off games
2 30% more vaule trade ins

[Who's The Twitch Now?]

Well, it does say "Weekly prizes," so maybe the coupons change weekly.

[nixts]

I don't want to be a dick, but I really thought the coupon was good for 30% off your entire order, not just 1 game. That kinda sucks. :(

[slidecage]

i think this coupon rocks .... It kicks butt if you use it in store. 30% off games instore rock ... It ROCKS WOOO

[Dr Mario Kart]

I cant figure out how the people on the high score board got those scores. At the end of level 3 my score is still really low, and it wont let you pick up stuff after your stash meter gets full.

[Gothic Walrus]

I don't want to be a dick, but I really thought the coupon was good for 30% off your entire order, not just 1 game. That kinda sucks. :(

Someone posted earlier saying that they'd used a coupon for each item. You could try that...

Going to EB tomorrow during my lunch break. Time to see if I can find anything worthwhile for the 30% off...

[Richter]

how much does an Edge card cost?

[DirtyBoB]

5 bucks, good for a year

[dracula]

i think i will get 30% off steel battalion. that sounds like a good idea to me. Steel battalion for only $119. not as good as getting it for 100 new at FYE but not bad.

[PhrostByte]

Does anyone actually play the game? The high score is about 5000 and I can barely get 1500...

[PhrostByte]

No one plays it? The high score is now 7000 WTFFFF

[am000777]

The game has a timer now to get the cash

[PhrostByte]

am000777: How does that explain someone getting 7000?

[jngx80]

My thoughts exactly. I don't even know how you got 1500. Does the time it takes you to complete a level influence the points?

[PhrostByte]

No. You complete a level when the time runs out. I get 500 per level...

[weaponx666]

Anyone use these coupons in store yet? I went to a local EB and bought 5 games and used 5 coupons (photocopies). The employee didn't know how to use them since no one has brought them in before (I live in a small area and no one exploits deals like this). Anyway, he first scanned in my Edge card, then manually entered another 20% off for the coupon, so I didn't actually get 30% off. I got 20% off the initial price, then 10% off that, which doesn't quite equal 30%. He tried to scan the coupons in but it didn't work. For example, I bought 5 of the $2.99 PS2 games to use for the PS2 trade-in deal. Each game rang to $2.15 after discounts. This was $2.99 - $0.40 (20%) = $2.39. Then it was $2.39 - $0.24 (10% of that) = $2.15. If I had gotten a straight 30% off each game would have been $2.09. My total was $10.75. This is only a 28% total discount. If I received a true 30% off my original total ($14.95) it would have been $10.47. Obviously this isn't a big difference when you get cheap games, but if you get more expensive games it will make a difference.

Online the coupon works as it should. You enter the coupon code and your Edge card and you get a true 30% off your total.

Just wanted to let people know.

[dafoomie]

You're only supposed to use one coupon on one game in a single transaction. But my EB was fairly new, and they knew how to do it.

[weaponx666]

You're only supposed to use one coupon on one game in a single transaction. But my EB was fairly new, and they knew how to do it.

What's the difference how you do it? The coupon says nothing about 1 coupon/game per transaction. I have one right here and it says "30% off any one pre-played game!" There is no other disclaimer on the coupon. Some others here had said they used multiples at once so I did, too. I just wish the employees at my EB had known how to use it, but I'm not complaining too much. I lost out on $0.30. The coupon is good for a month and getting an extra 20% off in addition to my Edge card is great, B&M and online. In the next month when I use more of these coupons (I'm definitely going to use a lot of them) I will try to make sure I get a full 30% off.

Plus, I have been ripped off enough at EB, both through game trade-ins and as a former employee, that if they are going to put these deals out there, I don't feel one bit bad about taking advantage of them. Like the "PS2 w/5 Games for $150 credit" trade-in deal I just took advantage of. I did not feal one bit bad about buying five of the $2.99 games and using those as my five trade-in games. This deal happened to not have an exclusion list on titles to trade, so I took advantage of it. I trade 2 Madden 01s and 2 NFL 2K3s. Eat that, EB. In fact, I may buy a cheap used PS2 and five more games just so I can do it again.

[PhrostByte]

High scorer wins a free game?

[Benaorn]

Can anyone hook me up with the coupon? The car is barely moving on my 5 years old 500 mhz computer.

[weaponx666]

Can anyone hook me up with the coupon? The car is barely moving on my 5 years old 500 mhz computer.

I don't think PC speed makes much of a difference. Get some gaming skills. Just keep trying, it took me a few tries. Just keep your damage down and remember that by the end of the timer for each level you only need 250, 500, or 750 points depending on which level you're on. But you should get as many points at the beginning as you can since it's easier.

[Benaorn]

How is your car moving in the game? My car is moving like move, delay, move, delay, move, delay etc...

[slidecage]

how can anyone get 70,000 pts

That's what I'm saying!

[drfrielgood]

That game has worse controls than the Resident Evil series.

[SunnyRT]

The easiest way to beat it is to use two hands on the arrow keys.
One for the gas and one to steer, we don't need no stinkin' brakes.

Once you notice that you're not picking up any games/dvd's get to a Ebgames store, pull up to the front of it. A yellow area will show up designating that you're in the drop off zone. switch one of your hands to the space bar and press down.

Get back on the gas. Rinse-repeat!

Now if I can figure out how to do a smash and grab I'll be set.
