Well right now it seems like the best to flip at Target during the B1G15off is

Paper Mario Sticker Star 3DS Gamestop

Spirit Camera The Cursed Memoir 3DS Gamestop
Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2013 Wii U Amazon
WipeOut 3 360 Walmart
Resident Evil Operation Raccoon City CE PS3 Gamestop Assuming you get a employee who just matches to the regular edition
 
Does anyone know if you get a negative amount with the promo you get the credit on other purchases? I have some others but I think someone else is more qualified to make a list. I'll also check tomorrow to see if there any other flips. I suppose the cartwheel promo might add a bit more as well.
 
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Gamestop 19.99

TO follow up on my difficulty with price matching at Best Buy. I made a post on the Best Buy forum explaining the situation and received a PM from an employee. He offered me a free copy of Madden 25 for the difficulty I received - how cool is that!?

 
target will limit you to 1 transaction, 3 items max, no duplicate in one week period and its checked by drivers license so may wanna hold off on your flip empire

I was at Seal Beach, CA Target this morning, ready to get some ps3 copies of ghosts. I noticed 2 younger gentlemen attempting to do the price match and the pre order card for the ps3 version of cod. instead of heading to electronics and sat back and watched the reaction of the clerk and see if she was cool with the double stacking. The supervisor was next to her, overlooking the transaction and waiting to input her override. As soon as i saw her shake her head i knew it was time to abort mission. I went on to the next target and was successful. managed to snag 1 360 copy, 1 xb1 copy and 2 ps3 copies. of course i had to mask those promos by throwing in filler items (USB thumb drives, Headsets)

first time I got shot down at my local Target. Manager rang me up and after she saw the discount even with some filler items she said I couldn't do a price match & promotions.too bad, I had a good run at my target.

From what I understand, I get an Alpha Sapphire preorder card for $1, and when it comes out, I get it for $15 less. Then, price match Ghosts 360 with Amazon and get Ghosts for $15 cheaper. Altogether, about $32. I'm not counting Red Card savings either. Any other ways to make this cheaper? And pardon my newbness please haha

That is not how it works. If you preorder Alpha Sapphire you get a game that costs $39.99 or above $15 off. If you pricematch that price is knocked off by $15 due to the preorder. Your Alpha Sapphire won't have the $15 discount.

 
Will Gamestop let you trade in 2 copies of Ghosts for the Xbox One and also do you trade it in sealed or is it better to do it without?

You can't trade in 2 copies of the same game for the same system at once. You also can't trade in sealed games. I made that mistake once when i did my first trade and the worker got mad at me. Maybe you could do it if the worker doesn't care
 
So trading in Ghosts for the Xbox One and PS4 works towards the extra $15? I got 10 copies of Ghosts only for the Xbox One from Target not sure on how to approach trading these in.

Probably trading in only 4 would be best, assuming you don't want to get banned.

looks like you'll be building yourself a ghosts fortress.

you can trade in 4 into gamestop, but without another ps4 game you won't get the bonus and almost none will take two xbone ghosts at a time, and many won't even take ps4+xbone ghosts in one trade either (they should, but won't). If you trade in more than 4 in a 30 day period you will get banned from trading for 90 days. Best Buy gives you $9 for ghosts, Amazon gives $6.50, not much more than you paid, and each has a limit of 2-3.

so yeah have fun with all those ghosts

I suggest buying 4 copies of fighter within from Amazon and then taking 4 sets (fighter and COD) to GS (not all at once) and trading them in. With your remaining COD you can see if target will do an exchange for the PS4 copies which is very YMMV. If you get the PS4 copies then buy some NBA Live 14's from Amazon and trade those sets into GS.

If you are stuck with the 6 copies of COD on XB1 your best bet is to unload them at Walmart for $11.32 or Best Buy for $9. Best Buy has a limit of 3, if you go over that you risk getting banned. Walmart to my knowledge is just a limit of 2 per transaction. Some employees might even let you do multiple transactions on the spot.

 
I often wonder how evolved someone is when they try to trade in a sealed game. Taking a second to open the game before going in is not an option? No one ever gave the impression that you get more for a sealed game. I'm sure this action is equal to the time period that cavemen endured when they were trying to steal dinosaur eggs.

I've done it, and both completed the transaction and rejected (at the last second, by a different employee than the one helping me). I really just did it in case the trade value was changed when I arrived, I'd have the option of returning the game to the place of purchase. All I did was open them and come back the next day.

Trade 4 at Gamestop and the rest at Walmart they will take each copy for $11.32.

I've only played the first Disgaea on PS2 way back in the day, but I sank a ton of time into that game, and everything I have read says this one is the best in the series since the original.

So GameStop bans you after trading in more than 4 games. Do they actually ask for I.D. when you trade games in and will it make a difference if I trade them in to different GameStops?

Are you just basing this on the product page on their website? because it also says unavailable online. I'm assuming both of those will change once the game has actually been released, otherwise why would they have a product page for it in the first place?

Depends on where you live. Some states require ID and even fingerprints. Honestly if you are in a state that doesn't check ID and you don't use your PUR card you could do it.

may wanna wait for someone to do a test buy before you go all crazy, I have a strong suspicion that target will be changing their register software to remove any discounts if a price match occurs on an item, thats what best buy has been doing for a while now and is the smart thing to do.

You'll get banned if you trade in a total of 4 or more games at two different gamestops or at one gamestop?

If you trade in five or more copies within 30 days at any Gamestop as long as they have your ID they will ban you. PUR cards are a form of ID.

B1G15OFF Spreadsheet. There are probably more and feel free to take what I have currently or contact me so I can add some.

If no one wants to format it so it looks better please tell me what to change format wise so it looks better.

Can people edit my document? I don't know google documents that well and I rather not have someone destroy it all.

Damn good thing I didn't get a bunch or should I say, target didn't let me. I didn't think about the PUR cards that way, thanks for the info man. I'm ready for that assassin's creed black flag for ps3

Well, they added the I.D. check/lock during the Double Trade promo, after everyone went balls-to-the-wall during the Triple Trade, so it's pretty logical to think it could actually happen.

Honestly there is no correlation there. The trade in rules are set by nextworth. The target cash registers are coded by target. You are not buying/price matching at target mobile. Nextworth did a good job reacting and preventing further abuse with future promotions. Target has done nothing with the registers to prevent anything. Bottom line is they are not allowed to grant the price matching with reservation cards under store policy so why should they? Of course cags apparently know the store policy better than the employees so we keep capitalizing
 
Just to add my two cents why we souls at least have Sunday to take advantage of this, I have been able to get a few CODs this week and even 3 today, and given that the pm+preorder worked about 2 hours ago and all darn week I very much suspect any roll out of a systems update would not happen tonight.

Then again, an update that stops the double dip could be within the the same system update that allows the 15$ off any 39.99$ games.

Regardless I'll be giving it a subtle test around 10am EST tomorrow. Good luck all.
 
Does anyone know what happens if you get a negative value during the B1G15off previously. I know it may or may not work this time but since there are so many combos that give you money people might be able to get a free game(s) as well.

Agreed, they should have employees smart enough to not let it happen in the first place (and some stores, mine included, do). However, when your business is one with a high employee turnover rate, and this deal is fairly uncommon, it's unsurprising that you would have the occasional employee who has never had this deal present while employed at the store, and as such, might not have known/been trained on this type of double-dip.

Meanwhile, I don't know how Target's computer systems are deployed. Yes, NextWorth runs the trade-in stuff, but it could still be Target's software folks developing the programs for the mobile registers, unless you somehow have learned that NextWorth has their own software people deployed code for Target's registers (totally possible, if they also work with other facets of the mobile department).

It's not my saying it'll happen, more a warning that it could, and to not throw a bunch of seed money into it before we know it works.

You basically get the game free, plus the $1 reservation card. So anything that winds up in the negative is a buck total.

Do your target mobile departments have registers? Just curious. None of the targets by me do. If I want to buy a phone the target mobile rep signs into their computer to set up the contract and any possible trade in and ultimately hands me off to the electronics department to get rung up
