Just made a return of uncharted 4 but the employee said I might receive an email regarding this return and have the trade credit adjusted.. :/ hmm I didn't make a bunch from this. Actually the bonus itself for the trade was as much as 60.

He was giving you some bs. You won't get an email.

That is pretty hilarious

Yeah, what are they going to start doing, send an invoice to repay? I would have asked what policy are you breaking and have they heard of the BBB.

 

[whswhsjohn]

lol well the guy was not threatening or giving pressure or anything. He just mentioned it and I thought it was pretty weird.

Just watch out for that funny email, might come from [email protected] .

Burn them on the survey. He knows exactly what he was doing. Thinly veiled threat to not return any games to that location.

 

[dav2sil]

Do any Gamestops in your area open up new games when you return them? Only one store in my area does it.

This has happened to me once, but it was years ago. I was returning Spider-man for the 3ds. I had just purchased it the day before and I had my original receipt. He rips it open like he was about to unfold some conspiracy lol

Happened to me earlier this week in a less than stellar part of town. This was the same place that gave me cash back after opening the game. Must be a lot of shady dealings in this part of town.

Still have $40 from the cash back and am considering spending it on some Salt Pepper wings , some beer and binge Overwatch since the family went to a baseball game (can't stand the sport lol)

Why exactly would that warrant burning someone on a survey?

 

[Nick51705]

Why exactly would that warrant burning someone on a survey?

Because they were flat out lying. If the employee isn't 100% sure of such a bogus thing, they should not say anything at all. Spreading misinformation is wrong and not good for the company. It also discourages the customer from going back to that store once they realize they've been lied to.

 

[chnandler_bong]

That sounds like the default course of action around here if the experience isn't perfect or better.

 

[YellowGameboyColor]

Honestly if GameStop employees would just shut up sometimes and ring me up, there would be no complaints

So can I use one of the Power Up Rewards $5 off pre-owned coupon towards a used Amiibo or used Infinity figure?

 

[dyeknom]

If you combine it with b2g3 free, you're wasting the coupon

 

[esalw822]

You should be able to. They say "any preowned item". However it's not worth using them on the b2g3 figures because it'll apply to one of the figures that becomes free thus negating the value of the coupon.

Thanks for the info guys thats what I wanted to do I guess I will save it now.

Is it also flat out lying to abuse the system by getting a trade bump while 100% planning on returning said game? Nothing against anyone here and I'm definitely not taking any high road, but its amazing how you can even consider burning someone on a survey because your trick didn't go as smoothly as you planned it. I do agree with you though that employees shouldn't be lying to customers. At least you guys better hope he was lying lol

Picked up this thing for $.97 earlier this week when I went to buy a used copy of Overwatch. Felt like such a dork walking out of the mall with this in my hand

I agree 100%. There is a lot of boyz here. If there's a problem, throw down and handle it. a survey pussies lol internet ass thugz.

Lol I'm pretty sure managers and DM wouldn't feel discouraged of getting rid of customers that are simply trying to buy Visas and other gift cards with GS credit.

Lol true. I still haven't built up the courage to walk into work with it, either

it actually happened to me when i was returning u4 special edition (the $80 one with arts and steelbook). told the guy i dont want it anymore and he was trying to open the damn thing. i was like wat the are you doing?! he told me that apparently somebody has opened the game, taken the disc out and sealed everything else back, then returned it. i was like, no man, it's all sealed and brand new, i didnt do any of that. eventually, he just did the return and didnt open the game. very weird.

 

[Dashey10]

Noob question: I bought a game on eBay with the GC but when I got it, it felt like as if apple juice was spilled all over it so I asked a refund (guy was rude about the refund) and the refund amount should go back to the gift card correct?

That's why Nintendo and Sony should do what MS does and put a security sticker on the side.

i was talking about the special edition though, with an outer box sealed with round stickers

Staples has $50 GameStop gift cards for $41.

I think it stacks with the $25/$100 Staples Amex offer, so you'd be looking at ~$100 out of pocket for a $150 GS gc.

Can you use gift cards to buy gift cards at Staples?

 

[dgwillia006]

Is the extra 20$ for DS consoles already applied to the trade values on the site? Or is it added instore?

I have no idea. Never tried.

http://m.staples.com/GameStop-Gift-Card-50/product_179969

Looks like it is actually $41.99 for a $50 physical Gamestop gift card. It appears to be online only. Have you tried it in-store?

 

[ritchardf]

on site is base value, so add $20 to that

 

[dgwillia006]

Thanks

 

[Dashey10]

Kinda random but I just got GCU today so I guess I'll buy stuff on BB to flip to GS more often

Yes, it stacks. Got the AMEX confirmation right after my staples order!

 

[Hereck82]

Anybody know how much gamestop is giving for a 2ds? Walmart is currently selling them for $40.

Had no problems buying ebay gc at a gamestop I'm cool with. I didn't return any game so maybe that's why. I kept getting errors on my phone when checking out bestbuy gc on ebay using my phone but worked fine on desktop

 

[TheFreak123]

Had no problems returning Uncharted 4 to a GS I never go to.

Probably helped that I legitimately accidentally threw away the receipt the other day, so the guy just looked it up and saw I bought it a week ago.

Had to go to my normal GS to pick up Amazon gift cards though, as this GS apparently doesn't carry them.

Was a little worried I might get denied a return, so I'm glad it worked out.

 

[lakers714]

Damn I still need to return that Doom Copy hopefully I dont get any drama for it, now to see if i can buy giftcards tomorrow 

 

[jeffcrazy]

I was able to buy $50 in Amazon cards - The store was busy, I swiped the GC subtly and didn't go nuts with the amount of Amazon cards so it worked out fine.   

 

[Dashey10]

Any of your guys gamestop has Freakyforms Deluxe for 3DS?

Thanks for the reminder about the Amex offer! It expires soon so I'm sure I would have neglected it until then if not for your post.

I just purchased 3 and received the statement credit, as someone validated above. Not bad.
