    The promo is just for the digital version without the magazine right?  I debated on this but really like the physical version of the magazine. Just traded in some stuff this afternoon and got my 30% bonus after transferring a preorder, which is a nice trick if you don't trade in all that often...

    This is 100% the way to do it. Walking with the games in a bag and just say "I want to put $5 on my existing preorder". After they add that and you see the line item on the checkout terminal, say "I'd also like to trade these in." Boom, easy as pie. Watch that terminal like a hawk when they...

    It all depends on your free time and desire for free credit. Both a friend and I just got Vader Immortal fully preordered for $10, probably less than that for me once I use my $5 monthly coupon as well. I've said many times I normally did these kinds of flips over my lunch break pre-pandemic...

    First I heard about it, hopefully it holds into the afternoon at least tomorrow.

    Man I didn't know about the 5 for $50 until last Friday when I was randomly in the store.  Debated hitting a couple others but decided to pass.  I really wish I'd done the circuit of them in my town with the $5 boost this week, lots of stuff I could have boomeranged for a decent return.

    I've normally just been going in to get the $5 version where they just print it on a receipt.

    I agree, I personally decided to pass on this preprint. But I think that anyone speculating on games that are currently gen/re-printable need to be aware of the possibility it can happen. I've been seeing reprints on "rare" current titles since the 32-bit days and you need to be prepared for...

    Did some research and you are both right. I thought that return fraud only applied to stolen merchandise that was attempted to be returned, but it can apply to merchandise purchased at another store (depends on the jurisdiction). I've updated my original post accordingly to reflect that.

    Another option when returning PS5 games from the bundle is to go to someplace that doesn't require a receipt such as Target or Walmart to return the games. Edit: Apparently this is can still be considered return fraud even if you have purchased the games at full price if you return them to...

    Yup, they're giving away a steelbook with it so I'm tempted to buy/return if it's G2L.

    Does anyone know if FF7 Intergrade PS5 is going to be a G2L item?  Are they even still doing G2L for many titles?

    That would already be Shantae and the Pirate's Curse for Switch, that game has insane prices already but if people were making bootlegs of it I can guarantee they would sell like fire on ebay.

    That's the same scenario I'm in too. Had like $40 in certs I wanted to convert to trade credit. I debated trying to do new fifa plus 30% off something but couldn't find anything I wanted. I'll wait a bit and then call if I reach next Friday without it. I don't mind prepaying but swinging it so...

    No Fifa game coin for me yet. Bought Friday and traded Saturday but I didn't pay it off in advance. According to their verbiage I should still get it though.

    I have to agree with others, I don't think doing a big set like that all at once is worth the risk. I'd do one G2L at one place and another someplace else if you can swing it. If you're actually returning new games wait and do that another day/location as well. New sealed returns are easy to do...

    Thanks guys, it seems like the certificate is redeemed now so I guess it has something to do with using them within a single day. It sounds like they're cracking down on trading a bit though, thankfully end of the year is when I normally cash out points and stuff. At least I've still got...

    I think I may have double dipped on my $5 coupon. I bought something in store for pickup and got it, then bought something else while picking up and it was still active and the rep applied it again. Am I going to get flagged for this?

    Oh man I found an extra Mario maker 2 last night I got with buy 2 get 1 when they were $35 back in March. Time to trade it in towards Fifa and hope for a decent bump! I am totally unable to login to the new app by the way, website still works fine though.

    Wait so you can use the cert in store and online to save a total of $10?

    Glad I pulled off that Zodiac flip yesterday since the value just tanked. 5 @50% worked pretty well for me last time, just focus on switch games since they get that $5 boost.
