I've had pretty good success with Amazon trade-in's until recently. I noticed that when I send in 2-3 games in a box, they all get accepted just fine. 100% success rate there. That's what I had been doing since they started their trade-in program.

Lately, when I've been sending in 6 games in one box (yes, nicely packed and everything), one or two games have been rejected even though they're in perfect condition. 0% success rate there. Both times I've done it I've had one or two games rejected.

Didn't see it in the FAQ, but does anyone know if I wanted to inquire about it, do I just hit up the regular Amazon customer service chat? Or is there a special Noram/whatever customer service area that I can't find? Thanks in advance.

You're supposed to use the regular Amazon customer service.

I traded in $300 worth of credit in the past two weeks and haven't had any problems with any of my games as of yet.

When you say the cd are you talking about the game disc? I sent in two from the last B2G1 from gamestop but neither copy had anything special about them. Just game and manual.

Just a heads up for anyone looking to trade in Assassin's Creed Revelations - the _only_ version currently with a tiv is listed as "Standard with TriOviz 3d Glasses". The "Standard" version (upc 008888526841) that I think everyone on the planet has is not available for trade-in presently. I'll send mine in anyways, but ymmv for sure if they end up taking it.

Wipeout: The Game TIV is $30

17.99/19.99 at GS for those looking to move some credit

For what it's worth, Amazon sent me the one (Standard w/ TriOviz 3d glasses) during BF, so I think that's the one they were selling until they ran out. Not sure if they're going to switch the TIV over to the new one they're selling now, though.

I have a question.
If I submit a trade in for the limit which is 2 but decide to just send none and let the deadline pass. Does that still counts as my limit and I would need to wait 3 months to trade them in?

sorry if im unclear

you'll have to manually cancel it later on even if it expired to trade it in the future.

so my flips are sitting there. said they were delivered dec 1st. hopefully just taking their time. i was a day late past the 7day deadline for shipping, but didnt think that would cause a ruckus. crossing fingers. ugh

so la noire 360 complete is lower tiv than normal la noire 360. whatever

If and when we can start trading in the normal version:
Can I trade in my Walmart labeled copy of Asscreed Revelations ps3 to Amazon?
There is a little Warmart box on the cover (b/c it was a special Walmart edition that came w/ the Brutus armor dlc code).
The upc code on my Walmart edition is: 008888366843

I had five packages delivered between Wed/Thurs and so far they've done two packages (Fri, Sat) so likely just taking their time. Might depend how large each package is too, as mine were just one game.

If the actual UPC is different from the standard version everyone else has, you're out of luck from my experience.

I do this often as I will see trade in values change sometimes for the better. Never heard a word.

Amazon also just rejected my tradein for Catherine for missing artworks. I've send in the manual along with CD, but I guess Catherine come with some artworks.

Thats going to suck for me if it gets rejected. I tried talking to an amazon rep last night because when you view the page it shows them with a second disc and a little artwork thing. Apparently those were supposed to be preorder bonuses but the game never really sold out so all copies are still coming with them.

Damn that would suck I sent them a 360 & PS3 copy last week, I know a lot of places don't sell it with the preorder bonus anymore does amazon still?

Theres some posts on Catherine's page from back in Oct and Nov with people stating they still got them with their new copies from amazon. If mine get sent back I'm not sure entirely sure what the hell I'm going to do with them.

A quickie credit mover from gs to amazon - blitz II is 19.99 used, trades in for just over 20.00

Your Rage should get accepted. The bonus DLC sheets don't count. I always take them out of the case before sending them (in case I or a friend needs a code in the future).

Looks like my Catherine's got rejected for the lack of artwork and sound disc as well. That's kinda ridiculous.

To answer my own question... I submitted the Borderlands GOTY with DLC tokens (as opposed to 2nd disk) and it was rejected for "wrong edition" despite the fact that its UPC points to the GOTY edition with 2nd disk.
