I have one more question so on FAQ it says 2000 is the limit does that include for both pro members and non pro?

 

[Sr_Fuerte]

Pretty sure it's 1k

Okay thanks. This should be put in FAQ how do I add it?

 

[ORANGE ALERT]

Chances I'll get my B2G1 on Monday if I go renew PUR today? 50/50? Thinking about making one more big run

 

[aspen1284]

When does the Black Ops collection go off sale?

 

[dieverse510]

Hidden Gem promo is 40%. If you are Pro then it is 50%

 

[Daring]

is the trade toward "Hidden Gem" 40% boost or 50%? GS website says

Lol look right above you...

 

[Deliciouspinto]

YMMV but I found Assasins Creed IV Black Flag on clearance in TRU for $6

Great flip if you can find it.

hahah.. thx, missed that. was to busy reading through the previous post and didn't refresh current page.

 

[chrome3333]

Well all in all unless I hit them Monday I got 5 paid copies of Destiny 2 and CoD WW2 along with $500+ trade credit. Not bad for five hours. Oh they also aren't giving out Call of Duty codes at the moment and some haven't gotten the hats in. They also might have some Destiny 2 Beta keys you cannot use right now.

 

[asgaga]

started with $500 credit from gamestop/target/bestbuy ending with $1400 gamestop credit

maxed out my 2k and may have gone over a little but was worth it.

Also noticed next Saturday for May the 4 at Gamestop having buy 3 get 1 free preowned items. Dont know if it includes consoles. One day only sale

 

[Confidance]

F you Beard im tired from yesterday and you pull out some damn Dead Space boomerang. Then to boot i find out that separate purchasing the Ezio trilogy 360 discs on b2g1 results in a boomerang. Dammit man

Much love tho

 

[saathe]

Garden warfare 2 on ps4 was 11.98 on clearance are our target. Better deal than the BB flip if you can find it

Dpci 207-34-1265

 

[jd7dawgzz]

Sorry to bump this up but does anyone know the answer to these? I didn't see it in the FAQ.

Ive seen people do multiples on the offers, and i have spoken to a number of store reps and managers and they said its policy to only accept one title per console in a store per day, and trading in same game at multiple stores is okay in same day. Most ive done is 4 of same title on one console in same day. Did 8 phantom pains (4 360 and 4 ps3).

Beta codes? My receipt printed with a beta code for each game on ps4.

 

[Nick51705]

Thanks for pointing out the COD Black Ops collection. When I bought them the guy was like "You're buying this for BO2, aren't you?" Yeah, that's true but I'm not buying it to play it

 

[bluebigman2006]

I didn't do yo bad found a nice original wii with games and extra controllers. At a yard sale for 50 today. Traded all in at gamestop for 265.xx

 

[boogie4114]

Dead Island Definitive PS4 version. $16 with GCU at Bestbuy to $24 with PUR and bonus at Gamestop. I'm sure it's an error too since PS4 comes with voucher so you can technically get Dead Island Riptide free code. The Xbox One version was the 1 that was supposed to get a bump.

 

[chnandler_bong]

on chat with microsoft support and they're sending me a code for halo wars 2 digital. Gamestop needs to remove the windows 10 pc branding from these bundles if they're going to be assholes and put a disc in the box.

Going to miss them when they're gone in a few years for the flips but man, gamestop is a shitty incompetent company.

Look on the bright side - because you got a code for the game free, you can trade your disc in for up to $40.

 

[Armyofjuans]

Do you guys know which hidden gems bumps are still active? I tried to use Stardew Valley and the Tetris and didn't realize they were out apparently.

 

[chnandler_bong]

Do you guys know which hidden gems bumps are still active? I tried to use Stardew Valley and the Tetris and didn't realize they were out apparently.

Yep, I picked up Puyo Puyo Tetris not too long ago. Traded in another set of PVZ and got the 50%, the cashier kept telling me how fun it was so I might give it a shot instead of returning it.

 

[saberdragon]

Trading back in my COD collections went great. I got a different cashier that didn't do my trade ins yesterday. He didn't ask any questions. I put it towards Little Nightmares and got 50% extra trade in credit. Do I get the extra points for the buying the game? The promo says it's for preordering but the game had already been released apparently. They ran out of $5 cards at this store and he wouldn't let me keep my last one. I rebought one of the games that I thought it was the one that I traded in. I screwed an should have used the trade in credit that I had on my preorders. Oh well I didn't make that much progress but I really wanted to finish the game. The value will still hold if there's another trade bump. I was thinking of rebuying it and using the points to get a $25 off used game certificate that I'll eventually get by tomorrow. Idk if I should.

 

[BrokeDude509]

So I went to the gamestop where I make my purchases (not trades) and I was the only customer. The two employees were complaining about some guy that just traded in $200 worth of trade credit. What annoyed them was that this guy apparently was bragging about he literally just spent $40 on all of them at the target next door after they finished the transaction. Man, I swear some people just love to pres their luck.... when I went to go flip my purchases to the other gamestop I acted shocked when I casually told them to put $5 on both Destiny and CoD and had the employees freak the out when the bonus hit lol to each their own I suppose!

 

[frosty47]

Great flip if you can find it.

this is for I'm assuming cuz all others are Tanked.

 

[Hoping]

Can you ask your local GameStop to transfer an item from another store to their store?

 

[lolwut?]

60% is when you pre order BOTH cod and destiny.

$5 coupon comes from the employees. They have them at the register and up to them to scan/give

Is the bonus for pre-ordering both 50% for non-Pro and 60% for Pro, or is it 60% for everyone?

Not a Pro member, and no real interest in becoming one. Thanks for the previous answers guys

 

[chnandler_bong]

Yes, but they can say "No" if they want. It really depends on their mood.

50% for non Pro

 

[Nathan_Sama]

Thanks for the info guys! Traded in some stuff got a little around $200 credit. Got Mario Kart and a $100 thinkgeek gift card to get a Transformers set thats on sale on the Thinkgeek site!

It's 50%/60%, and you really should upgrade to Pro. Unless your volume is too low to justify the $15 cost.

I trade in a lot of stuff and the cashier didn't care. It froze the computer so I'm sure that's a first for her. Bragging about it is not a good idea.

How? All the assassins creed 360 games trade in for like 55 cents?

50 everyone, 60 pro.

You may be able to cover your Pro with your sign-up bonus if you're trading a good amount

 

[iduncurr]

I don't know how you guys are getting 50/60 when the trade-in banner says 50% bonus for Pro and 40% bonus for everyone else for pre-ordering CoD / Destiny 2

Am I missing something? 

 

[lolwut?]

I hardly ever trade shit into Gamestop, but I guess I'll calculate if I would get so much extra that a Pro membership would be more than free. Would they be able to give me the Pro membership/bonus without ever paying any cash out of pocket?

Thanks again y'all

Might be copied wrong the first time

Is this code from renewing or the one for everyone who is currently pro members?

first time in 2 months I went to a particular store... they have a new ASL in training who did not know anything about the b2g1 last gen for pro members that's been going on for almost week now or know where stuff is in the store. Is that a barcode or just a code they scan/enter for the PUR b2g1 last gen that ends today? They calculated my transaction all wrong manually pft only discounted my free game by 90% instead of 100% saying that Pro will be applied after the transaction was finalized. Of course the pro discount is only 10% off that remaining 10% smh ....ugh I don't want to be THAT memorable more than I already am if I bring it up geez...the other ASL said I'm a pro member as soon as the the one in training asked do I have a pro acct rofl. I guess I should disappear for a while lol. I thought in order to be promoted u had to be superknowledgeable and more outgoing blah blah smh... this new ASL would scare ppl away roflmao.

How? All the assassins creed 360 games trade in for like 55 cents?

Think that's talking about the trilogy that has 3 games per box...not sure

 

[Nightcrawler13]

Went to my local GS to trade in on day 2 and the the Manager was like "I heard you did $700 yesterday, that's pretty awesome!".  I had a small stack to trade in and it was about $243 and change.  He told me to get the bonus today I would have to preorder a second set of COD WW2 and Destiny, but then he'll just cancel it and transfer my $10 to the preorders from yesterday.  What an awesome guy! 

 

[heatison777]

I don't know how you guys are getting 50/60 when the trade-in banner says 50% bonus for Pro and 40% bonus for everyone else for pre-ordering CoD / Destiny 2

It's 40/50 If you preorder 1, 50/60 if you do both.

 

[bn222]

Yeah they can do the pro membership and the trades in the same transaction. You'll get the pro bonus and the membership cost will just come off the trade total, so no paying out of pocket.

Why did he make you preorder a new set? That's weird all you have to do is put a $1 on each to get the bonus again

 

[icyjones]

The employee I'm friends with tried every which way to put in the manually-issued B2G1 coupon code for renewing PUR, but couldn't manage to get it to work. Oh well, just gonna take the L this month I guess, cause there's no way I'm calling that customer service line again. It would've helped me boomerang $400+ more in profit, sigh :/

My code worked with the dash. Not sure how it was entered though. This was my first time using it on multiple sets, and worked like a charm.

you can pay for the pro membership using trade credit, so no need for cash out of pocket. that's what i did. you can upgrade in the same transaction and get the 10% bonus

I don't know how you guys are getting 50/60 when the trade-in banner says 50% bonus for Pro and 40% bonus for everyone else for pre-ordering CoD / Destiny 2

It's 50/60% if you pre-order BOTH in same transaction. if you just do one or the other, it's just 40/50%

 

[ThatOneGuyWho]

Well no more trades for me. Got about $600 from $150+ in Target and GameStop flips. Did have to put down in full from one store that said "its an unwritten policy", um OK. Thanks for the game flip ideas and info guys, you all (lurkers excluded) are great!

 

[iHero]

That's happened to me before. Just pick up the game when it comes in and return it the next day. That way, you get the full trade in value back and they won't hassle you.

i was planning to get COD anyway, so it's fine. just didn't want to pay for it in full yet and keep my credit for anything between now and november lol.

might do the return or transfer the credit if COD starts looking lame as more info is released though.

 

[Sr_Fuerte]

Why did he make you preorder a new set? That's weird all you have to do is put a $1 on each to get the bonus again

Earlier today I wanted to add 5 to each existing preorder but I guess she didn't hear me right and she did another set and I purchased mario kart 8 but totally didn't say I had 5 already down for it so she gave me another copy for full price. So now I have like 5 pre orders lol dammit I'll just see of they can change the 5 to the existing pre orders and the 5 from mario kart to one of the cod or destiny.

 

[Nick51705]

Made another $100 profit today off of 5 games. Tomorrow I'm going to hit the ground hard for the COD flip. After factoring in tax, I made $22.97 profit for each one. The best part is that I don't have to put in outside money to fund the flip either.

 

[GamerDude316]

I'm okay with multiple preorders for now, then just wait a couple months to cancel/move them. Have to think about the long game here and not instant cancel them.

 

[dennisb407]

Dead Space 3 is definitely trading in for $7.70

 

[littledude702]

Damn what are you guys trading in that gives you 400% profit!! I'm only seeing 200% most.
