I traded something into a different gamestop today gave them my phone number and looks like they have my name in there system even though I never went to this gamestop before. Now if someone else was to use my card for trading in or buying used items, can they look that up and turn down my friend or would I have to do the trade/prucahse myself?
edge card links to personal information?

They shouldn't say anything (or more accurately, they shouldn't care)... and if they do, he can just say he's my cousin.
When they swipe your card, they don't see your info- they just see your discount number. It's only when they physically look up your card than they see your info.

Employees should be checking IDs regardless if they have an EDGE card and you are performing a trade-in (unless you're a regular and they know you). Other than that, high-speed stores are now able to look up your information provided you have traded in games or purchased an EDGE card at one of the high-speed locations. It's still a work in progress from what I can tell, but it speeds things up none-the-less.
Its odd, when I go into some stores, they'll swipe the card and then pull up my info from nowhere. Elsewhere, sometimes they ask for the full info, number, address, etc. I comply, eh, whatever speeds up the process, I tried bringing up the card swipe one time and I confused the guy...then I just gave him my ID instead -_-
