Most states? Are you referring to only California?

Those Cali folk think all the states are as wacky as they are!

Well you can't smoke pot in Ohio legally. You guys turned it down on Tuesday.

No, we turned down lining the pockets of assholes like Nick Lachey.

Lining it..........with weed?

No. Money.

Issue 3 was designed to make 10 groups of investors rich.

trade-in values for my games are so low now...

 

[chnandler_bong]

You can probably ask the store to put the trade credit on a separate trade card instead of your rewards card -- haven't done a trade-in at GS recently so not sure if they still do that

I have only known putting trade credit onto a separate card and not my PUR card. I learned you could do that (trade credit on PUR card) just a little over 90 days ago.

 

[Kevlar338]

I was thinking of doing the same. My brother)in-law kind of wants a second controller, and I'm getting the Halo bundle, which already has the Locke controller, so I'm going to let him get the discount. I considered taking some games to Target, but $1.80 at Target just doesn't hold much value to me. I know the B2G1 is coming, but I'm lukewarm on that as well, so I might just stick to Best Buy.
I've asked a couple of times and gotten no response, what is this speaker coupon, and where did you get it? I never saw one in my e-mail, though I am a bit careless with those.

It's a free Insignia portable Bluetooth speaker coupon with 50$ purchase , subject line "Prepare for gifting glory". I got one on my elite plus account but not my other standard account.

 

[pittsnoggle]

Ohioan here that also voted no, nothing to do with wanting weed legal the way they wanted to do it was laughable

can someone kindly post the list of states that charge no tax on trade-in credit purchases?

Or if they can tell me if PA is one of those states?

Headed to PA tonight and might be tempted to trade my xbox one if I can get it on a tax free purchase....

TIA

 

[Bobby's World]

Just off the top of my head, there is a way to convert GS credit to cash, at least in most states.

If you buy something with credit, then return for a gift card <$10 you can then convert to cash since the law here states any gift card <$10 can be cashed out.

Great...let me just go buy 50 $8.99 games with all of my credit and return them for cash.

Come on dude lol...

My Gamestop in IN got new trade in procedures. They have this stupid little camera you have to have your photo taken each time you trade.

PA charges tax while using store credit. I live in PA.

I feel for you, you need to petition your local government to change that.

Ugh, really? I'm planning on trading in some stuff tonight. Not looking forward to it if I have to go through a photo op as well.

Thanks!

FYI, I haven't seen this posted recently. Trade in a / game when you pick up BOPS3 (or any new game $59.99+) and they will take 10% off the cost of the game (up to $6). They treat this as a $6 bonus to TIV of the game traded in.

Valid 11/6 and 11/7.

So no luck on getting 10% off the Juggernog edition?

 

[dgwillia006]

Meh. I'll just complain on an internet forum full of nerds. I rarely ever do Gamestop trade-ins anymore anyway outside of when they have deals, most of my stuff goes to Best Buy.

 

[chnandler_bong]

It counts, but only $6 off. T&C:

10% Off: Requires the trade of an Xbox One or PS4 game. Offer valid on purchase of any NEW software priced at $59.99 or greater, including collector or limited editions. 10% off given in trade in value increase, trade value may be increased by a maximum of $6. Trades must be in full working condition to receive full value. Trade subject to manager approval. See store associate for details. Offer valid 11/6/15 - 11/7/15.

The moron at gamestop said I needed an hdmi with the 360 to get full credit. Must be the seasonal kids they are temp hiring.

did you include the av cables?

 

[Lil Frier]

LOL, that's insane. If that were to happen to me, I'd deliberately take in games to do trades, with no intent of going through with it. Then, every time I got told I had to have my picture taken, I'd grab my games and tell them they can go give themselves a colonoscopy with the camera.

I brought everything it originally came with so yes. Stopped at another GS and they took it no problem.

Depends on city/state laws that stuff may be required unfortunately.

Darn it. Was hoping we could squeeze the extra $20 off.

Great job on breaking up the Monopoly bro!!!! I'm sure kids with seizures and people dying of cancer in the region are so proud of your vote.

 

[LOTRandSWFan]

Has anyone tried to trade in 2 systems with the $100 credit promo? I have 2 systems I want to trade in and I was wondering if it worked or not.

 

[pstash78]

Well a birthday has passed over the weekend, does Gamestop still give out unique birthday coupons/discounts via email?  If so, I guess GameStop doesn't wish happy birthdays?  :no:

 

[Electro]

I should be able to just return the new 3ds xl and just receive 100 credit plus a refund for the remainder correct?

 

[Thatguy1513]

[pittsnoggle]

Apparently overwatch pre orders gives a beta key, can't find it in the app though. Will try to pre order tomorrow

 

[ikaden]

Yes

Gamestop will give you the bonus credit even if you return the machine? I was thinking of doing this for the get $100 trade in on a Xbox 360 if you buy an Xbox One and then returning the Xbox One.

Yep

 

[bige562]

Does anybody know if the $100 for a XBOX 360 or PS3 towards an XBOX One promo ended already? I can't find anything on Gamestops website. I was planning on picking up an XBOX One tomorrow.

The 3X points is only on the donation amount. So $1 is 33 points with PUR Pro.

 

[navalg1337]

Has anyone used a regular $X Reward Certificate with a $X Pre-Owned Reward Certificate on one item? Just wondering if it will work.

 

[dk drumin]

lol people before were saying 3x on trade in what a waste...

 

[au7oma7ic]

At GS, when trading in a console, if I were to trade the 3ds for X1 and not new 3ds would I still be able to get the bonus 100 for trading towards new 3ds?

I know the promo states FOR new 3ds, but I've traded in at bestbuy when it was one console for another specified console, and left with the added Tiv, when I didn't buy the specified console.
