GS FAQ​

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

What do I need to trade in an older console?​

​​

the console, power cable, av cable, and controller; sometimes they don't care about USB charge cable but ymmv. 3ds xl trade would be console, charger, stylus. Some have reported being charged refurb fee for a stylus, but again ymmv (answer stolen from anarchyburger)​

FAQ will be entered when those questions get asked frequently.​

Oh man.  Did you use the coupon code on the sales receipt or the one on the PUR website dashboard?^

I used the coupon from the active offers on the gamestop app on my phone.

 

[FamedGuardian]

Purchase Has-Been Heroes for the 50% future trade-in coupon. I know the ad stated that the coupon would be delivered by the 17th, but has anyone received theirs yet?

 

[Ferrari Racer]

I really hate GS sometimes. Last month I bought the Forza 6 themed X1 controller and it had d-pad issues, returned it.

Today I received my online order of the same controller and got the BB exclusive controller instead lol

I can't tell you how many times I've ordered Drawn to Life Collection from their online store and received Drawn to Life Next Chapter instead. Oh well....

 

[skateraXVIII]

Factor in how long it will take to finish that game (it's looong) and the trade in value possibly going down before you finish it too.

This. That and if you're like me, having to play a game within a limited time period feels like a chore/takes away from the fun.

I'm sure Xenoblade will hold it's value, and you'll be able to trade it in during the next big promo for minimal to no loss.

That’s a surefire way of getting me to dislike a playthrough too.

Having a due date is the only way I'll finish a game, but I'm a terrible procrastinator. I only finish games that I rent from redbox/gamestop or borrow from the library. I have tons of digital games on my console that I'll never finish.

[Electroplasm]

Anyone receive their b2g1free coupons from the pro day scratch-offs? I received 2 5000 points but no actual b2g1free has shown up in my active offers yet.

 

[Electroplasm]

Still only have the first 3 coupons I entered. Nothing new has posted.

what kind of coupons did you receive vs which ones are you waiting on? I got points but not b2g1free yet

 

[plus1zero]

Yeah, I received 2x 5000 points last week and a B2G1 yesterday. Waiting on my 50% boost, 10% extra off and 40K points.

 

[Bizarrosfne]

I did 3 on two accounts and got all of them. There is probably a limit on how many you can redeem.

I got 1 b2g1 and 2 10% off pre-owned. Waiting on my b2g1, 2 more 50%, 2 5,000 points, and a few more 10% ones. I'm not holding my breath at this point.

Has anyone had more than 3 redeem for them yet?

I did 3 on two accounts and got all of them. There is probably a limit on how many you can redeem.

thanks everyone

[saberdragon]

I got my extra 50% trade in credit coupon. Does it stack with Elitro Pro bonus?

 

[mcdonough88]

How long is it taking for the scratchers to reflect?

 

[HakurenKyo06]

I still have some 50% scratchers if anyone wants to trade for a buy 2 get 1.

 

[johnmstewart]

For those with B2G1 and 50% coupons posted - what expiration does it show?

 

[FamedGuardian]

I got my extra 50% trade in credit coupon. Does it stack with Elitro Pro bonus?

Was this from Pro Day or the Switch promotion for future 50% TIV?

 

[FamedGuardian]

Still looking for a B2G1 and 50% extra TIV scratcher from Pro Day. I missed out so I don’t have anything to trade, but I can offer $5 per scratcher.

[beaubalon]

I don’t have much in this world, but I will offer my first born son for 50% bonus TIV [emoji30]

Thank you and god bless

 

[plus1zero]

Thanks for posting. I hope for the best for his family.

 

[chnandler_bong]

None of my scratchers have appeared in my account yet.  I think I added them all Tues/Wed of last week.

Got myself $300 profit with one 50% coupon. Still have a extra I might use.

How many days after redeeming did you get the coupons in your account?

$414 profit for me today. Weeeeeeee!

Put in a 50% code monday night and got my fingers crossed in comes in before the 3/11 Exp. Date.

 

[ubiquetous]

Put in a 50% code monday night and got my fingers crossed in comes in before the 3/11 Exp. Date.

I thought 3/8 was the last day to enter scratch off codes, expiration to use offers received was 3/15, but 3/11 is the date to start calling the cs number if the offers don't show up. Or were the dates something else?

 

[Viper51989]

Does anyone know if the 50% bonus coupons everyone is talking about work on consoles? I'm assuming not and the best I can get is the 25% extra (if you're doing trade credit) for my Switch. The $43 a piece for normal pro members for Zelda, Mario and Mario Kart 8 is nice though.

Idk if it's even worth it because it would be toward an X and gamestop won't match any deals and charges tax (new has the same console + controller for effectively $100 less...should probably just ebay everything).

Go try and let everyone here know

 

[Viper51989]

Thanks for stating the obvious. I don't have one of the coupons and was wondering if someone who does could read the fine print and let us know.

I'm just reading what is says on the coupon..."valid 3/5 - 3/11"

 

[Chandler_Dong]

I'll trade you a 50% coupon for a CIB CE Shadow of the Colossus on PS4 and then you can let us all know!

You’re a comedian, eh?

 

[ubiquetous]

I'm just reading what is says on the coupon..."valid 3/5 - 3/11"

Yeah just noticed that's what it says. There was a message when I enerted the code online that if the offer didn't show up by date x you should call the given phone number. I wrote the phone number down but not the date.

 

[Chandler_Dong]

I'm just trying to capitalize on a situation, my comedy career is completely separate.

 

[Chandler_Dong]

What's the deal with these GS scratch coupons?

 

[doc_j88]

50 percent coupon worked on accessories

 

[chrome3333]

50 percent coupon worked on accessories

Sadly while the 50% did work on certain items some retro items did not get any bonus.

I still have the redemption page up:

never mind, didn't refresh in time.  Same info as above.

 

[saberdragon]

Are there any flips? GS>GS, BB> GS, GS>BB etc. Thanks for the help.

Yes, there are a few. B2g1 greatly expands that number.

Best Buy prices plummeted universally. Every top 100 down. Nothing that I can tell up. In another month or six weeks the cycle will repeat once monster Hunter and the like become the new $33 games and the others go back up from $23 to $27.
