I think this is what the 50% summer promo is going to be like. 

 

[Bobby's World]

Liquidate your Gamestop assets! Lol

 

[blackbeard4886]

All game prices have been updated. I'm working on a TIV drop sheet.

[theking20]

I'll probably just wait until Sunday to do it , just in case of a sudden bump for mario games lol

 

[blackbeard4886]

OK documented the TIV drops here

Best Buy TIV are listed too. This spreadsheet is a godsend. Only thing left to do is another sheet comparing flips between the 2

 

[Helldweller87]

Well shit. Hope they arent getting phased out. I can't go back to buying MSRP games at Gamestop.

I actually got a 50 card on tuesday and it worked fine. So this change must of just happened.

 

[YellowGameboyColor]

RIP Gamestop!

Thanks, BB to GS comparison is a coding hell because games are named so differently/wrong on the BB trade site and BB uses different skus between their TIV and new items as well which makes it hard to get TIV to new item comparisons.

Also for anyone wondering the GS TIV drop was an average of 24.30% on most PS4 and XBONE games only.

RIP Gamestop!

RIP GCU $10 cert!

Yeah, I just got 2 50s last weekend at the same store

 

[FlyingMonkey9]

If you get 30 dollars towards purchase of a new game when you trade in the division could you also get 50% extra so 45 towards doom??

I believe the $30 guaranteed is a promo. It will not stack with any other bonuses. It will be $30 but 10% PUR base of game.

 

[Thatguy1513]

I bought 2 $50 Amazon cards yesterday. If they made any changes it may have happened today.

 

[Linkslayer]

I bought 2 $50 Amazon cards yesterday. If they made any changes it may have happened today.

I tried to buy $50s yesterday around 1pm-2pm EST with no sucess, only $25s worked

 

[Raw_Orangejuice]

Can you get amazon credit with best buy credit?

 

[For Paul]

Best Buy doesn't sell Amazon gift cards. They do sell eBay gift cards.

 

[ProfessorPlum]

I bought 2 $50 Amazon cards yesterday. If they made any changes it may have happened today.

Bought a $25 Ebay gift card yesterday with no issues as well. I'd like to hear if anyone from California has tried getting a gift card today, I'd be really surprised if they don't anymore with credit.

 

[sp00ge]

They used to sell them, and pulled them last year or so.

Can't look at the sheet because work, but just an FYI that as of two nights ago best buy was still offering an extra 50% credit

According to the BB quote site they still are giving 50%.

 

[srehmat02]

Crap I have over $1k in credit, better start unloading it soon, will try a couple 50s today and report back

I found this hidden at BB site, shows up as "no sign" when I run my application, good flip to BB from GS.

https://www.bestbuytradein.com/bb/funcCheck.cfm?SKU=5233400

 

[Helldweller87]

Just got this in a email from Gamestop, i think someone mentioned this would happen just like BB does to non elite members with points.

You can now choose to save your points or “stockpile” them for something awesome in the PowerUp Rewards Catalog, or opt to automatically redeem your points for a $5, $10 or $15 reward certificate (valid in any GameStop location).

Reward certificates will be emailed around the first of every month and will also be available in your Active offers. Now, when you log into your PowerUp Rewards account, you’ll see a Reward Preference section where you can choose how you want to manage your points.

Log in to make your selection.

Please Note: If you choose to receive a reward certificate, (and qualify to receive one), the first certificates will be issued on or around June 1, 2016. If you don’t make a selection before 5/26/16, your selection will default to stockpile your points while you are Pro member.

Seems to be hard to find used locally. Nothing close to me.

You can flip BB to BB though for $5 each.

 

[Kyle1022]

Was gonna trade in my PS4 copy of FFX/X-2 HD for the Steam version that just came out, and of course they drop the base value by $3. Come on GameStop. Your values are literally worse than my local mom and pop shops now, so what's the point?

They wanted to boost pre-orders without actually giving you 50% more....

Good find! None locally at GS though.

Edit: Is it just the PS4 version?

Yes just PS4 although you can boomerang it back to BB

Looks like a PITA just to have the BB rep figure out how to trade it in tho lol

 

[sladeums]

you may have trouble trading it at all.

Since the title is not in the system I don't see anyway of finding it in their database by any search terms (tried RBI, Baseball, and Sign) and the UPC (865790000148) and SKUs (5084100 / 5233400) all point to "No Sign" ps4: Trackmania Turbo).

 

[TheFreak123]

So, all of the Infinity stuff I have is worth $388.20 in base value in total, but I only want to trade all of it in if I get the 50% bonus from buying Doom.

Would they still give me that bonus for all of my stuff even if I end up with a ton of credit left over? Should end up being $621.20 for everything I have if values hold.

 

[DarkGamer11]

So, on GS website am I missing where it says the 50% extra kicks in at 9PM EST? I don't see it anywhere, just valid 5/12-5/15. Trying to unload some DI figs.

Edit: should add, my store will not take trades for midnight launches. County wide rule no trades after 9PM

They should give you the remaining credit on a gift card, yes.

Nice, will BB frown upon trading in two copies?

Local GS's have several in stock

You can trade up to 3 but someone above mentioned you might have a hard time trading it in.

Also doing an * search does not bring up the game.

 

[angel98]

Not sure if it was just my store or possibly more spread, but none of the 50$ Amazon/Kindle giftcards were working.

Had to buy a couple of the 25$ ones which strangely were working fine. (Even though the employee thought he pulled them all)

The $50's didnt work for me either

I originally read this as $50 gift cards weren't working when buying them with credit. Went in to cash out my credit and found out that the $50 amazon cards don't work period, even if I'm using cash money.

There is a huge difference between not working when you try with credit and not working at all.

 

[bronxbomber123]

Have a copy of Uncharted 4 used waiting to be picked up. Now time to finesse this doom trade. 

 

[kube00]

Well that sucked I too $83 worth of stuff according to the app, got hit with $4 in refurb fees. Fine.

Didn't get the 50% promotion, showed the associate the flyer and she pointed out on her receipt that I did get it and her manager pointed it out as well. I got $65 in credit vs the $124

So I've never really had this happen I guess I could give them bad marks on the survey. I should have canceled the transaction and walked out

definitely shouldnt have signed off on that

So if you didn't get it then what did they point out on the receipt?

 

[bronxbomber123]

probably pointed out the 20%. the website still advertises 20% for doom, uncharted, etc. and then 50% for doom as well.

Oh well there is a lesson learned from this. Looks like they gave me the 20% bonus toward Doom not the 50%

 

[kube00]

Yep they did that and I said that's not 50% and I felt like I was brushed off. You guys are right I should have canceled the transaction.

But at least I get Doom!

Do the survey, especially if the manager dismissed your concerns and blew you off.

[bronxbomber123]

What has everyone's experience been like with the survey? I bought MLB The Show the other day and the dude working was a huge prick not only to me but to customer's he wasn't even helping

People are taking it as if GS is preventing the transaction when it is likely Amazon that pulled the cards and GS has no control over this.

 

[applecider]

Just another lesson that you should walk in knowing exactly how much you should be getting with bonuses, so that you can cancel the transaction if something fishy happens.
