Just want to confirm the variable Amazon GC ($25-$500) can be bought with trade credit! Cash out while you can!

Whats the SKU for the new Amazon card on your receipt?

Whats the SKU for the new Amazon card on your receipt?

146788 077/00

Just got one a few mins ago

This is the 25-500 card

 

[Tvols1480]

Whats the SKU for the new Amazon card on your receipt?

146788 077/00 is written directly underneath the "Amazon A VGC ($25-$500) POSA" line. Not sure if that's the SKU or not. Hopefully this helps

Thanks 146788 is it. I am pulling a list of stores that have them now.

EDIT - Seems like most stores have right now.

EDIT - Seems like their server is unstable I'm getting an abnormal amount of 502 errors.

Last time I did it was last December...it was a Darden's gift card (red lobster, etc.) and some PSN cards. I was actually wondering if there was a difference between trying to use the trade credit on the silver card vs. trade credit on a black card. 

On another note, here in LA, I've always seen the Amazon gift cards (at least when I've cared to look) even when everyone here was going on and on about them being phased out. 

 

[Theronm]

Dang that SKU is not in stock at my local stores, but a few that are about 15-20 miles away. I'll wait patiently.

 

[Bobby's World]

Damn it, no Amazon cards in my nearest store yet. I'm itching to burn off a couple hundred quickly.

Both stores that I went to were like we haven't had Amazon cards in a while...bummer I did buy 4 more Uber cards though. At this rate, I will probably cash out my credit instead of transferring to Amazon.

This Uber deal has become really popular around here. The cards are gone everywhere I go lol

Those I believe have always worked, but the Amazon GC and a few other (Visa and eBay maybe?) were shut down a while ago.

 

[voldo]

YMMV? Employee discretion? POS ery?

possibly ymmv, I tried 25 first that transaction went thru,then grabbed another card and did 100.

We're talking about Amazon cards... you've always been able to buy food and PSN/XBL/eShop gift cards with GS credit

And yeah, your stores may have had the old cards and may still have them, but they don't ring up

 

[blackbeard4886]

Over 3,000 stores have them and probably more since I had quite a few connection errors during the query but this is what I got currently:

Is there a place that they should be checking? I went to 2 stores listed here and they both couldn't (wouldn't? Haha) find any for me

 

[MickyDeezNuggets]

Any good tips for finding flips to Amazon? Especially for current gen? I find it pretty tedious checking back and forth between the sites. Wouldn't mind being able to buy Amazon gift cards directly again.

I mostly stick to retro during flash sales and b2g1. Gamecube, Sega Saturn, and Dreamcast have been the most reliable for finding good credit movers.

I had more luck during the first quarter of the year flipping current gen when Best Buy had several B2G1 sales. Now my flips are the same as what you mentioned - retro games and B2G1 or B3G1 sales.

As I think more the Amazon credit would be nice if you need to buy something from Amazon immediately and can't wait to flip a game.

They might be in there packages in the back still.

My store has a drawer behind the counter designated for gift cards

If you can't find them on the spinning rack, they might have them in from shipping but haven't gone through it yet. Make sure you also check the edges of the carousel because I found the Amazon ones at the edge at the very bottom.

 

[Sr_Fuerte]

just to let you guys know, sw cards are a go with trade credit.

Not to sound like a noob but what is SW cards? I probably know I just might have forgotten lol.

 

[Bobby's World]

Thanks guys. I'll check again tomorrow

 

[Deader2818]

They haven't updated the pos planogram yet so most stores likely put them aside till it updates.

SouthWest. Those gift cards never stopped working with store credit though

 

[voldo]

southwest worked for me 3 days ago

 

[Biggquis]

Just received my orders fron Sunday. Was gonna trade the black ops copies in right away, but I'll wait till the end of the month

 

[Sr_Fuerte]

Might just have to go trade my ps4 for the pro but I think I'm already around 2k. What should I do next. Have someone trade it for me?

 

[WWF]

Then can you buy GSGCs with Amazon GCs? #humancentipede

 

[reaperztoll]

They haven't updated the pos planogram yet so most stores likely put them aside till it updates.

When does that usually happen? Specific date or just at open?

 

[Deader2818]

Random

 

[gospelman]

The store I checked this evening had both black $25 amz cards and the blue $25-$500 cards.  I paid for a $350 blue with 100% credit.

 

[shakenbake31]

I clicked on the can't find your card link in the "You have $xx.xx waiting for you" email from April 27. I entered my information and the page said i had 2 cards worth $147.56. I was going to get an email in 4 hours with an online trade card. 6 hours later I get an email that card 1 has $0 but, card 2 has $24.60. Also, my local gamestop will honor the $15 certificate attached to the email. I printed the trade card and I'm about to go before the store closes. Check it out might have some credit. Not sure where the credit came from. I'm good at tracking all of my gift cards.

 

[Keen314]

Thanks Blackbeard for the Overwatch POP tabs on the spreadsheet! I called half the stores in the area before finding one with the figure I wanted in stock and not being held for pre-orders. An hour later I'm back at home and real happy.

 

[Dragonaxe3]

Great month from gamestop. Upgraded my ps4 and xbox one to to pro and s, got $170 worth of games from yesterday, and will hopefully get a $400 amazon card for preorders. We'll see though. Manager at this one sucks and doesn't like me, but he's the only store in town that has any.

Nice let me know how many points did you get for both the ps4 pro and xbox one s including trading your old ones. I might have someone else trade them in for me because I'm almost at at 2k trade limit don't want to get the ban hammer lol.

Go go go! Driving to my not usual stores for these. Employees got weird last year when cashing out huge amounts to eBay and Amazon.

 

[Djchanclaface]

Then can you buy GSGCs with Amazon GCs? #humancentipede

Right now, yes! Make the points and still have credit for the retro flips to Amazon. The circle of life.

 

[WWF]

I mean quite literally assuming there's no $5 fee attached to either direction and no state sales tax charged to GCs.

 

[StainedCarpet]

Would like to know this as well.

Sorry for the wait, no he did not have to override it. I should've mentioned I used a special targeted email code that I got last month from buying a Switch at gamestop. I heard they extended the promo to all customers but I'm not sure of the specifics.

 

[sasuke543]

Can confirm that purchasing an amazon gc works with GS credit! This is a purchase I never thought would happen again! 

 

[Liquid Metal]

hmmm, there is a purchase on amazon that is $800 I want, but not sure if I want to try and trade in for that product or just go all in and get it now while i can.

Decisions, decisions.

it's more fun to trade in towards it and build up a tally - it's rather exciting when I do it

 

[saberdragon]

Can you get trade banned for returning too many games?

 

[Nick51705]

Can you get banned for trading in too many games?

Yes. 2K trade limit and can't trade in more than 4 copies of a game in a rolling 30 day window.

 

[saberdragon]

Yes. 2K trade limit and can't trade in more than 4 copies of a game in a rolling 30 day window.

My bad I asked the wrong question. I edited it tho.

 

[United_Korea]

The look on the employee's face when I told him how much I wanted on my amazon gc was priceless. I hope this is here to stay.

 

[Nick51705]

My bad I asked the wrong question. I edited it tho.

Idk if there is an automatic trigger. I think I've done 4 on an account in a short period fine (back during the Doom/something else promo). It is definitely something they look out for so I would spread out your returns at different stores.

 

[homeybeef89]

Can you get trade banned for returning too many games?

FAQ says.... A: As of now, it is believed that the return limit is the same as the trade-in limit: No more than 4 returns within a rolling 30 days.

 

[Sr_Fuerte]

I have a question how do people make 2 accounts? I see a few comments that say ppl been having 2 accounts.

 

[saberdragon]

I was able to return more than 4 items in a day and didn't get banned. I'll just spread them to different stores.

 

[blackbeard4886]

I was able to return more than 4 items in a day and didn't get banned. I'll just spread them to different stores.

If you do happen to get banned because of this please report back how many caused it.
