I haven't sent a 360 game in a black case, but I sent a bunch of Wii games in a black case and they were all accepted.

Nice job, IO.

So I just got my email from Amazon after mailing Priority on Tuesday and they rejected one game because of damage (NBA 2K9) and I've only got 47.50 in credit from what the email shows. Now that game was mint when it shipped so I don't know what the deal was.

So now I just have 47.50 in credit and I'm screwed in getting the 50% off coupon, right?

Edit: Is there any way to request to have everything returned? I want everything back if I can't get my coupon.

I just recieved my 50% off code, now it is time for me to start working the Amazon Customer Service to get the G25 to accept the code.

can anyone confirm that canceling your preorder will get you your 50% off discount code back?

Phew, I traded in Gears of War 2 just in time before the drop.

You could possibly contact Amazon and explain what had happened. People on these forums and elsewhere have received their code if a game or two were rejected and put them a hair below the $50 mark.

And no, you cannot get all of your games back if they were approved.

Cancelling your pre-order will get your code back.

Thats what I would do. They might give you a 50 % code instead of doing this. You will never know until you try. But let us know

How would they be stackable if one coupon works on games and accessories and the other works on consoles?

I also made changes to the 1st and 2nd posts of the thread. Please let me know if I've missed anything else.

When I find the time today or tomorrow, I'll update the Flips post more thoroughly.

Well, just mailed off my box. I wound up going through all my old stuff and collecting about $200 worth of games ranging from old Pokemon games for the Gameboy to Mirror's Edge on the 360. Hopefully I'll get all the credit. I'm looking at buying a set of Turtle Beach X4 headphones with it.

i mean stack the two on video game consoles $50+$75... but the $50 code is redeemed already.. ha .. guess they send someone else's code to me

Cancelling your pre-order will get your code back.

Thanks! I ordered the beatles rockband before the eca coupon was fixed.

Don't think I can edit posts but here are a few changes to the flip post below

Harvest Moon DS cute 13.50 Amazon TIV
Ben 10 Alien Force wii 13.25 Amazon TIV
Cooking mama world kitchen wii 11 (drop) Amazon TIV

good lord...seems like every single trade in priced dropped $6+ today. should have bit yesterday. Anyone finding ANY good prices today? looks like i'm not gonna get in on this deal. You guys think there will be a new promo tomorrow?

Posted by io in the locked thread: Now I have a few questions. If you edit a trade that is already submitted (but not mailed in yet, obviously) can you simply delete items off of it while still retaining the older trade-in values for the ones you didn't delete? I thought someone said this was possible. What if you add one to something already there? I have two options since I submitted 2 nearly identical trades. I could bump up the quantities on one of them to get rid of all the things I have 2 of that have dropped (like PoP, Mirror's Edge, etc) or I could just submit the two trades but eliminate the duplicates (where I don't have more than 1 copy) between them. So in one case I'm deleting games from the trades (probably safer) and in the other I'm bumping quantities from 1 to 2 on things that have dropped (probably riskier). I'd rather do the second option so I only have to mail one set in, but I would have to be sure that worked first! I'll go ahead and try the deletion thing if no one has an answer but I figure someone out there must have done either or both of these things at some point.

I had a trade locked from last Saturday for 2x Dead Space (when it was the TIotD) and 1x Up. Changed Up to 0 and DS to 7, trade-in value for DS remained $22.50. Shipping it out today.

7 Dead Spaces?? Wow that may be pushing it. Amazon may be forced to start not accepting multiples if this continues. I do two or 3 sometime but that's my limit and that's pushing it. Let's see how this pans out in the future.

Barely made the $50 trade-in level this time out, but man was it worth it. What was a $50 trade became a $125 trade with a pre-order of the MW2 Prestige Edition. Add in the ECA discount (not to mention the other $10 you get back from pre-ordering the title too) and this one was a no-brainer, even for someone who usually balks at collector's editions!

1 CALL OF DUTY Modern Warfare 2 (Prestige Ed. 360)

Subtotal of Items: $149.99
Shipping & Handling: $4.49
Super Saver Discount: -$4.49
Pre-order Guarantee: -$0.00
Promotion Applied: -$75.00
Promotion Applied: -$15.00
Promotion Applied: -$0.00
------
Total: $59.99
Gift Cards: -$50.25
------
Total for this Order: $9.74

Can't wait for the next promo -- assuming I can find another group of trades that will meet the minimum qualifying level!

I traded in three games for $50.50 and shipped them out on Wednesday with the prepaid media mail. Received my gift card credit today so it took 3 days for me, not bad! I'm probably going to order a 360 Tournament Edition stick when I get the 50% off coupon.

You can increase quantities and still keep your original TIV's even after they dropped! Even on Trade-In of the day. Damn thats nice.

Wish i knew about that yesterday
