GS FAQ

Where is the weekly ad?

How many copies of a game can I trade in?
You are allowed to trade in 4 copies of the same game (same system) within a rolling 30 day period.

Can I use the $5 monthly coupon on gift cards?

Yes you can in store but not online please note not all gift cards will apply to this rule.

I have a $XX.xx pre-owned reward certificate, and I want to use it on a B2G1 transaction. Should I?
It depends. If the three games are equal value, do not use your certificate. The value of the certificate would be applied to the free game, which would not benefit you. If one game is more expensive, you can use the certificate to make it the same value as the other two games ($5 reward certificate applied to transaction with two $10 games and one $15 game would make all three games $10).


TERMINOLOGY AND LINGO:
ASL/SL: Assistant Store Leader, Store Leader; manager positions at GS.
B2G1: Buy two, get one free.
GS: GameStop
JD: Junior detective, an employee who is out to get someone
LP: Loss Prevention; this is the department that actually bans accounts after being flagged.
TC/TiC: Trade credit.
TIV/TV: Trade in value, or what a game currently trades for. When posting a TV for a game, always use the base value.

Last haul on the last day:

Dead Cells Return to Castlevania (PS5)
Plague Tale Requiem (PS5)
Ys IX Monstrum Nox (PS5)

Originally missed out on these during Black Friday. Guess patience finally paid off. Also traded some games in at a local shop, not GS, and got Poke Park 2 (Wii). Was the entire drive worth it tho? Ehhhh, lol.
 
Is the double dip finally dead? Had something sitting in cart with the monthly I used earlier in the month applied. This morning the discount was gone. Still had the code, but when I try to apply I get the message that coupon cannot be applied to the cart.

It's not 30% it's 20%.

*Get 20% Extra Trade Credit: Excludes Tech Trades, Applies to trade credit only, excludes cash trades. This offer includes Pros Get 10% Extra On Trades* benefit.
 
also, it probably isn't even automatic. usually pro day bonus trades are a bar code that has to be scanned and half the employees don't do it, don't know about it.
 
I'm not seeing any of the pro deals on their website. I'm irked because I wasn't able to get the last of my b2g1 orders in and want to spend my excess credit on something.
 
I had Mario RPG sitting in my cart for 52 on the b2g1 sale and now its 40.49. They just don't care about you.
IN FACT, its even cheaper if you buy it new.

Figured the Lords of the Fallen $50 off would the be Collector's. Wonder what the price is, since its not on the website. Might be tough to find too.
 
Never had a gamestop pro membership

But if I pre-order a game coming out in say July

Am I able to apply my monthly 5$ bonus to it in May June July etc?

I assume you probably can't, but if you can that makes their pro thing a little more appealing

No. You can only apply the July one at pickup.

What if I want to buy something today, but doesn't qualify for free shipping, and then want the July game too (which is FFXIV expansion so odds are it won't be in sale too)

Am I then able to apply 5$ this month, and then 5$ in July?

Again I'll assume not, but I have a gamestop gift card and generally don't like buying from gamestop but have a gift card I gotta use so 🤷

Isn’t the expansion digital only? Then you can‘t use the monthly coupon on it. Only physical items.
Sound like you are ordering online. No you can’t combine preorders with other items for free shipping. Digital goods don’t count toward free shipping threshold anyway.

At GS, to me: If it's intangible, they want real money. If it's physical, it's voucherable. I'd advise you to use coupons in-person because you get to see, touch, smell, hear, even taste what you're buying. If something you get from online isn't to your liking, GS be like jokes on you you just lost your funny $5.
 
Cuphead for the Switch is also on sale (used) for 10 bucks, so I used my monthly certificate on that, plus a 1000 points to get another dollar off, and the entire game (used, but the employee gave me the cards that came with it from another copy) came to less than 3 bucks.

But it costs the equivalent of 10K points out of pocket. You're essentially paying $35 for Pro and physical GI (10 issue) option. GS, the gifts that keep on ungiving.

So what. It's objectively a good deal for anyone still interested in print magazines. I would be more worried about not actually getting the points after subscribing. Or in my case, my subscription is already out to 2027, and if I add another year, I'd be worried that the magazine or GS will be gone by then.

They fixed Mario RPG, now it’s 49.99 instead of the 39.99 it was earlier.

I did get an order for pickup while it was $39.99. Went to pick it up and the guy greeted me and asked if he could help with anything. I said I was there to pick up a game. He asked if I was ‘insert my female name here.‘ Yes. Then proceeds to make it creepy by saying ‘where have you been, i’ve been waiting all day for you.’

Like I know not many women shop there, but holy fuck don’t make the few of us that do uncomfortable. There’s a reason I never take my teen girls with me, who knows what sort of creepy shit would happen.

Anyone know of any other games with a good sale like Cuphead?

I got nothing better to buy this month, so I'm wondering if I should go ahead and get the used copy of Cuphead at my local store. I already have it digital on PS4, but it's only five dollars after my monthly coupon.

Also got it digital on PC a lonnng time ago. Was very odd to play gamechair co-op. Need a physical version and for the sibs to beat again. We haven't touched expansion yet. Gamecube controller compatibility will be very interesting.
 
Wanted to use the trade in credit I'm sitting on for a PS5 slim Spider-Man bundle. Can't find a single GameStop in 50 mile range that has one in stock. Every other store here has them (supermarkets and best buy) getting really annoyed with never being able to find anything at GameStop
 
He said he owns it digitally on PS4, not that he'd be buying the PS4 version. I would assume that's the price for the Xbox version, which strangely doesn't show up on the website for me. Or the Switch version, which shows $9.99 on the app.
