This might be a silly question but do you have to purchase a game with the trade-in to get the bonus? That saying if it is still active. I was thinking about trading in for a Vita.

Yes u do. So preorder any game coming out the following week meeting the price requirement, then cancel that preorder. Use your trade credit you got from the trade and cancellation toward your shiny new vita.

I'm sure it's been discussed and/or attempted as we have some shady ing people around here, but I had a thought tonight:  Has anyone tried using GS credit to get eBay credit, then use that ebay credit to get an email GS giftcard, rinse and repeat and collect PUR points and ebay bucks all the while?

I'd expect a banning after the first few rounds...

That's not shady IMO. That's just exploiting the shit out of them.

And the problem would be hitting the Ebay gift card limit.

hot dog! looks like I'll never have to pay for anything on ebay ever again! C'mon quadruple ebay bucks promos, daddy needs a new...well,... everything!

 

[YellowGameboyColor]

It's possible, but might not be worth the effort.

 

[Donut2922]

I did a test trade with BO3 and it didn't work.  The cashier scanned BO3 which came up $19.XX and then I had them scan a new copy of F1 2015 and the trade promo still didn't come up for me.

The fine print said a game $39.99 or higher

Yeah that's what I was thinking too

Yeah, it just crossed my mind because I cashed out my GS credit for eBay, but I was kind of regretting not getting Amazon instead.

I don't plan on flip-flopping because, like you said, the effort wouldn't be worth the pay off. But I'm most likely going to bounce back to GS for the Amazon credit instead.

 

[Donut2922]

I thought that too but as htz mentioned earlier it means more towards which games are to be eligible. If BO3 was $29.99 new then the promo wouldn't work. Also, some promos in the past would just require any new game instead of certain price.

There's honestly no way to tell unless someone tries it on a $39.99 game

That's kind of how i got my $71.XX ebay bucks certificate lol

 

[MSUHitman]

Might trade in syndicate and until dawn but towards what game

Life is Strange LE, RE Origins Collection, Fire Emblem Fates, Far Cry Primal, SF V, ...

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

I do it when eBay has the buy a $50 gift card at gs and get an extra $10 promo . I think they put a limit at 3 gift cards though.

I thought you didn't get PUR points for buying giftcards? Or is that when you use trade credit to buy the giftcard?

 

[sp00ge]

Nope. I just got 2200 points for the $200 ebay card I bought yesterday.

 

[amusedtoe]

Yeah you get the normal new item rate I believe.

 

[strait edge follower]

I just beat the order 1886 last night and I see they bumped the tiv to 7$, perfect timing !!!! Considering that I brought the game for 10$ brand new its even better lol

 

[YellowGameboyColor]

What bump

 

[strait edge follower]

What bump

some trade in values got bumped up after their last b2g1 sale and the order seems to be one of the titles that got the tiv raised

Ah okay

 

[Deliciouspinto]

Got a question, even though I might already know the answer.

Can I use multiple coupons on an online order?

Ex: 2 pre-owned certs plus B-day coupon?

 

[BrianJason]

All of those coups are in store only

 

[blackbeard4886]

Funny Ready 2 Rumble: Revolution   is selling for $1.79 with PUR and getting $2.20 credit with PUR right now. See the link in my sig.

 

[The Punisher]

Hi. For anyone that got the B2G1 free deal, was wondering if possible to exchange a Wii U for a xbox one? the wii was the free item. Also, there was no package slip so would the order number along with the item detail be good enough? Dont understand why they cant pull up online orders to exchange instore. I think last time they exchange a game by plugging in fake date/trans # . They didnt scan all 3 items for the return/exchange

 

[coolrust]

Just got a nexus 7 32gb 2012 @ my local store $10. Mainly will use it as watching movie.

 

[whitereflection]

Did you use coupons or certificates? You have to give more details than that.

He traded in his games and used his points. Power to the players!

I hope you are not checking each game individually daily, cause it sure look like a pain and is so time consuming

No it's a app i coded that scrapes data and returns a report automatically. I'm in the process of adding BB as well.

 

[sninh]

Can you use the $ off coupons on gift cards? I'm pretty sure you can but i just wanted to make sure

 

[amusedtoe]

Nope. Used to be able to but that was at least a year ago they shut it down.

This is awesome but I hope these kinds of things don't prompt them to put captcha on their tiv pages.

Got banned today on GameStop... And I didn't even do any trading this month (January). All I did was buy a game yesterday at full pre-owned price. This blows!

That sucks, how do you know you were banned? Did you get an email?

 

[YellowGameboyColor]

Uhhh...

 

[Raw_Orangejuice]

Will my coupons not scan if I'm banned? Having trouble with my coupons

 

[Kotor15]

Did you use coupons that weren't yours ever?

Well there ya go. That right there is beyond suspicious.

You have to buy their new preowned games!

Who banned you? The system or some manager?

[Uso]

System ban. Anyone bought excessive ebay or Amazon GC got it.

 

[ariel.rosales3]

Well I guess half of CAG will be banned soon.

 

[Beatles93]

Was it by a manager or system? How do u know if u are ban? Unable to login to account?

 

[sladeums]

i'm not worried, i'm a Top Pro

 

[Uso]

No idea, over $1,000 is my guess. When you trade stuff in, system say exceed trade limit.

 

[AndyD33]

A. that has nothing to do with Amazon gift cards. Learn to ing read.

B. It's not a ban. It's a trade limit. You reached it. A ban is a negative event that will get progressively worse if you get banned again.

This is just you hit the quarterly trade limit.
