On the GS subreddit, one of the employees says the Deformers deal only applies to the base version, CE doesn't work with it.

Might be cancelling my preorder then. I think the extra cool stuff is worth it for $10, but I'm not paying an extra $25 for some figures and stickers.

Loved the game from the betas, though. I was ready to pay $40 for it, but it's worth it at $15 for sure.

When did Amazon start selling Gamestop gift cards again? Or have they always done it and I'm going crazy?

I got one of those virus alerts when I tried. Uh oh, GameStop getting hacked again!

 

[braves22]

So the 30% EC applies to MLB?

How much longer is this offer lasting?

They have always sold them, when amazon gc disappeared from gamestop the same happened to gamestop cards at amazon, but they have been coming back on the site and disappearing since then.

you can use amazon credit for any gift card amazon sells, except amazon gift cards.

Have a bunch of Amazon credit because of trade ins from Gamestops retro games. This is a great way to boomerang the credit back to gamestop to recycle the process all over again.

It seems theres a limit to the number of GS gift cards you can purchase. Does anyone have an idea of how often this limit resets?

 

[blackbeard4886]

I really think GS ed up and thought the Switch was going to be hyped and shorted to the NES Classic level. 99% of stores have not received Switch deliveries in 2 weeks while other big box stores seem to be getting them in pretty steadily. Also 99% of the stores have not received Neon systems to sell individually since launch day. However knowing this you are greeted at gamestop.com with this now

yet there are no Switches in store and you cannot buy the console individually off the website, however the bundles are available. I don't get why they are hoarding shipments into bundles that most people do not want especially just after having shit numbers for FY 2016 when the console is readily available almost everywhere else now.

Its because until they meet people like you, the average customer is ignorant to the game.

This is why we love you

This is why they loathe you

I got one of those virus alerts when I tried. Uh oh, GameStop getting hacked again!

I was at GameStop Sunday, opening up GameStop.com on my phone (the employees didn't know their own sales, trying to tell me prices went back up on Black Ops Trilogy). Once I did that, some malware page popped up, trying to download an app on my phone. Very annoying and not good.

 

[whitereflection]

I've had that same malware problem and assumed it was because I visited PornHub shortly before visiting Gamestop. So either the mobile Gamestop page is ed, or we go to the same porn site and are Eskimo brothers.

Did we just become eskimo brothers?

Can't wait for April 28th. My GS funds have been decimated since the Switch launch.

 

[saberdragon]

Has anyone been able to use the extra $5 trade in credit card on something less than $5? I was able to use it on an item that came out to be $4.40 with the extra 10% from pro.

Same here, need them back up

Mane wtf you said. Im stacking like crazy until then tho.

 

[Raw_Orangejuice]

I think it's 7 days but my purchase history says 10. I tried every day for like 5-6 days, gave up, tried again the other day and it worked but that was the 10th day. Moved $800. Today I'm picking up some whole foods gift cards from Amazon and getting some steak

You literally answered your own question

 

[krishna_malladi]

You literally answered your own question

That was for the "s" (FAQs). Please add them - the question and the answer - when you get a chance and remember to give credit where its due.

 

[Kyle1022]

I'll add it to the FAQ (not sure why you can't just do it yourself, but ok), but what do you mean "credit?" It's been known for months that it works on items as low as $0.05 base value

 

[Dashey10]

Hey Blackbeard, any idea on when we can see the sphreadsheet updated? Just want to get ready for tomorrow. Thanks

p.s. sorry if I sound rude.

Sorry I'll be doing it soon, busy morning. I need to figure how to get the app to update the spreadsheet automatically but it is a nightmare.

He asked the question and he answered it so...credit to the user? It was a joke btw...add it or dont, its ok by me.

I suggest waiting for Amazon to GS flips unless you're short on GS credit or live in a state where GS purchases made with trade credit are taxed.

I will admit that Amazon to GS flips are a lot rarer than GS to Amazon. However, if you can hold out until GS has a deal where the offer guaranteed trade credit then it's the perfect time to unload. I did this a short time back with Guilty Gear and a few other games where GS guaranteed $25 in trade credit.

Nothing on this list really interests me tbh. Getting Puyo Puyo digitally, already own Bulletstorm for PC, and waiting on the Switch version of Yooka Laylee from Kickstarter. Maybe I'll try it if the Stardew Valley bonus works on a preorder for Switch.

That'd be ridiculous.

Well, now, hold on a minute. I'm picking up that Little Nightmares game!

The 40% TIV bonus, plus the potential stealth bump, plus actually wanting the game? That's the triumvirate there...

You forgot "plus willing to sacrifice the 20% Prime/GCU discount".

 

[strikeanywhere]

Please ease my confusion : did the 4/10 end or does it run through this week like the DS sale?  Thank you to anyway that can help.

 

[Liquid Metal]

Damn, thats gamestop speak for 30% plus 10%pur right? Not 40% +10%pur?

 

[chnandler_bong]

You forgot "plus willing to sacrifice the 20% Prime/GCU discount".

True. I spend almost all of my money at GS because it's all trade credit there. I rarely buy from Best Buy and I almost never buy from Amazon because I have far less credit with them.

Damn, thats gamestop speak for 30% plus 10%pur right? Not 40% +10%pur?

I would assume so. Plus, it would be a pleasant surprise if it were actually 40% + 10%.

 

[blackbeard4886]

Redbox to GS has been re-coded. I updated the tab with the new results which include games that are in the kiosks that are not for sale yet and unreleased games that will be in the Kiosks. It's also a lot faster now I can compare it with GS in like 10 seconds. It's just a matter of exporting the data that hasn't fleshed out well enough yet.

Thank you so much for answering my question. It's really helpful that you told me what the lowest value the $5 card works on.

 

[chnandler_bong]

Even though the card states something about $5 minimum, I've never had any trouble nor heard of anyone else having trouble by giving the card with a game that is <$5.

Someone probably figures it's better to force the bundles until stock levels out at other retailers, then they can ship out to stores.

Stupidity at its finest.

I completely agree, but the biggest opportunities are %50 promos when moving AM>GS, I did real well last time I turned $400 to $700. I like having my credit at GameStop because it's really not always that easy to move it from Amazon to GameStop, especially the same day. I can do more with it at GameStop today by pushing it back to Amazon especially when that takes me 2-4 weeks depending on rejections.

Sorry, just trying to give you insight on my long game approach. After doing this for awhile I found out ways to keep me from going to GameStop every other day doing trades like I used to, I go like once or twice during promos now.

I'm not calling BS but I can't find this on the trade page.

 

[Drewish522]

Went back today to return my new Nioh that I got with that 20 off coupon and he gave me back the 59.99 plus tax and not the 39.99 like i paid. He even acknowledged the fact that hes giving me free 20!
I ended up getting Last guardian preowned plus I had him order my son the call of duty blast from the past PS4 game bundle (BO3, AW and Ghosts) for 26 and change after pro. Great deal on the CoDs for a recently new PS4 owner.

 

[umbry]

So I am getting a Switch and Zelda Special Edition for my birthday.

I have some games I wanna trade in and get the most credit so I can to buy Mario Kart 8 and a Pro Controller and the rest eshop cards for I am Setsuna and Frontier Days.

I wanna get the most for my credit. Should I trade them in this weekend with the 20% credit or hope there is a better sale before May 3?

 

[Drewish522]

Id wait.....There's always a chance for a stealth bump last weekend of the month!

Hey Blackbeard can you do a sheet for the Star Wars 40th anniversary Black Series figures? Would be nice to track those down for my brother.
