My district has been limiting purchases to $100 of trade credit/gift cards.  I tried to get a $200 eBay card last night at one store and left with only a $100 eBay gift card.  A couple of weeks ago, a different store I visited allowed me to only purchase $100 worth of Kindle cards.  Not every employee is up to speed so some people will let you get away with more since the POS doesn't restrict you.  But if you've got a lot of credit, I suggest moving it sooner than later.
 
Not sure where it will go, but filed complaints with State AG office and Ft. Worth's BBB office which relayed my experience along with

The only problem with what you copied/pasted is that it pertains only to Gamestop branded gift cards, not other retailers'. However, here is what you should be pointing to:

At the bottom of that page is this:

Sorry to go off topic a bit, but is it normal for the preowned certificates to cancel out the 10% off from PUR? Just looking at receipts and it appears I ended up paying a few bucks for games that I thought would be nearly zerod out. There is no tax in my state so I'm a bit confused about what I paid.

Follow up question, could I avoid the small remainder if I used enough certs to completely zero it out?

the 10% off comes off the amount AFTER the coupon not before.

 
Anyone know if I can exchange an online order item in store?  Got my lunar white controllers from BF today and they're not so hot.  One I want to exchange for sure since the top and bottom shell don't line up quite right and had a scuff on the side, think the trigger is sticking a bit too.  The other one seems mostly OK but there's some minor scratches on the trigger.

You can, I do it all the time with the B2G1 sales for complete copies.

Well there's button issues, stick issues, alignment issues with the shells, and apparently cosmetic damage as well.

From some of these posts it sounds like the thing is basically a ticking time bomb. I would just go throw it out in the woods before it explodes, if I were you.

Many of the stores in STL haven't been restocked with Lunar White controllers yet so I would check inventory (in your area) via the app first.

Lucky for you and unlucky for me, I've got a Lunar that's messed up. Here's a picture of how shell doesn't match up:

The result is you feeling a bump on the side of the controller when you're holding it. It's not smooth, because the two shells aren't flush up against one another. It's very annoying. I'm not sure that this picture really does it justice, but it's something you just have to feel on your controller. It sucks.

The only reason I haven't brought it back yet is because I bought it during the "Buy an Xbox One, Get a free game and controller" promo. I see it as being a pain in the ass to explain to the holiday Gamestop guys why I need a replacement.

In the interest of safety and for the greater good, send me all of your Lunar White Controllers. Your compliance is appreciated.

Thank you for your time and attention.

 
Since the Lunar White controllers are on topic right now, anyone know why people purchase just the controller box?  Saw a few sold on Ebay and wondering if it's worth my time to list the box i got on BF and keep the controller.

It's not just the Lunar White controllers. My Master Chief (that I returned a Lunar White for) has a screw that wasn't tightened completely; there's a slight gap between front and back the closes when you squeeze. And my Forza bundle controller's A button sticks sometimes. The Master Chief I should be able to fix myself, but the Forza controller's gonna need to be sent in. At least my Locke controller is perfect.

Has anyone ever returned an item that they used a rewards voucher on? I redeemed a $25 voucher with points and want to return an item that it was used on. Is that $25 just lost?
