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).

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is 34.99 preowned. Not the greatest price but it's the only Switch 1 game still priced reasonably. I noticed they raised everything else back $5-10 higher within the last day or 2.
 
So did a weekly email go out with the code for an extra 20% bump for consoles? I stopped getting emails a few months ago and wasn't sure if I'll get denied with the screenshot of the code.

Also, all that is needed for a Switch Lite trade is the Lite and the plug? And is the 20% bump in addition to the 10% pro or just an extra 10% than the usual for Pro members?

So where are all these Switch 2s at Gamestop?? Definitely not at any of my local stores...

Deputies said 2,810 Nintendo Switch 2 consoles, each valued at $499, were stolen from the truck.

According to deputies, the total amount of stolen consoles is estimated to be $1.4 million.

Deputies said the driver reported that he was on the way to a GameStop store in Grapevine, Texas, from Nintendo of America in Redmond, Washington, and the driver said he did not know what was in the truck, only that it was games or toys.

If the code is valid and within date it doesn’t matter it will work

Switch lite needs the system and OEM power adapter

And the additional bump shows up as 30%
20% bump plus the 10% pro
