hmm I think gamestop may have banned me. For what I have no idea.

 

[Liquid Metal]

They fix the issue with the card yet?

 

[GamerDude316]

Just did a trade and had no issues with PUR. Took a minute for it to come up but that's all

I did a trade about 15 minutes ago, no PUR. I'm on the east coast if that makes a difference.

 

[ariel.rosales3]

I called my local GS in MD and they said PUR is still not coming up. They said it won't be resolved until tomorrow.

 

[Pengy99]

Is this PUR thing effecting the website too? Maybe thats why I am having issues. Was trying to login to PUR and it kept kicking me into a non PRO account for some reason.

Ya, me to I was wondering if I was banned or what. Mine is asking me to activate my PUR card when I already have one. I don't flip as well so there really isn't any good reason for a ban besides those three past problems I had but it wasn't my fault for those.

 

[Geco17]

Yep I did. Not sure as to why it didn't apply the promo. I guess I'll have to go up there today and figure something out. Not sure what they can do though. Probably nothing since it is GS.

Looks like others had similar problems according to the posts above me.

I had a buddy do a trade-in for me cuz reasons, and they couldn't apply the trade-in to his account.

Guy at Gamestop said PUR is changing to make it more valuable come on 20% off new and used games. Oh and accounts are back up.

 

[Finger_Shocker]

No 50% permanent bonus for all trades in for PUR Pro.....   BOOOOOO

 

[no658ea3]

Lol

 

[AndyD33]

Some people seem to have a hard time thinking through cause and effect.

 

[The Punisher]

When does the b2g1 under $20 free start? Any games worth getting?

 

[sp00ge]

Does this mean I won a prize?

Wouldn't it be nice if the coupon displayed the dates it was valid...

If you did would you jizz your pants

 

[sp00ge]

Who's to say I didn't already?

 

[Miami Flash15]

After today's PUR debacle, I can see the 50% bonus being extended another day (unannounced).

Or nah.

It's gamestop... So probably nah.

I win a prize and know that you're Ryan now.

[HyperG]

Don't see anything on my card activity from today. It usually take time to update?

Usually updates overnight.

 

[PapiChullo]

Do you have the paid version? If you don't have PUR Pro, then you're not supposed to get the extra 10%. It's only worth it if you plan to trade and/or buy $150 worth of stuff within a year. Getting the B2G1 is also a good thing.

Just signed up today to get a little extra. But I'm unfamiliar, why is it only worth it if you spend over 150?

 

[XzMrHitDatHoezX]

Since the power up pro subscription is $15 and say you trade in $150 worth of stuff well with the 10% you'd get an extra $15 so essentially it'll pay it self off.Same goes for if you buy $150 worth of preowned stuff.

Ah, makes sense. Almost made it there today.

 

[Bombarded]

I wonder what games under $20 I should get

 

[BrianJason]

we have 2 weeks to decide

 

[neoz]

Looks like others had similar problems according to the posts above me.

Yeah I went in today and the manager said there was nothing that they could do in store. I could call tomorrow and they can apply the bonus points apparently but as far as making up that $7 bonus credit doesn't look like it'll happen. Pretty crappy that some of us missed out on credit cause their system was a POS.

 

[SonictheHedgehog1337]

Does this mean I won a prize?

It means you are "The One"

 

[Z-Saber]

According to a poster on the GameStop Reddit, and I can't confirm this in any way, the "update" is you'll now get 1,000 bonus PUR points for placing and picking up a preorder.

Yay?

wow, for paying full price for 4 preorders i can get $3 in xbox live or psn credit? way to fail gamestop, way to fail

also i hope this isnt true, or its at least 10,000

The post also mentions it would only be for select games.

Again, I don't know where this information originated, so I'm only relaying hearsay at this point. But yeah, highly underwhelming.

 

[chnandler_bong]

That wasn't affected, so I doubt it.

 

[Deader2818]

It's true.

 

[irishsoccermbw]

It's true.

Hm...so on a 60 dollar game my options are:

Best Buy: 20% off ($12) and often a $10 bonus certificate

Amazon: 20% off ($12)

Gamestop: $1 worth of points

Tough one.

 

[YellowGameboyColor]

Definitely worth not getting my extra 10% yesterday! Lol GameStop, where they give you a dollar for pre ordering and picking up games!

 

[Z-Saber]

Best Buy: 20% off ($12) and often a $10 bonus certificate

They really do need to work on the point economy for PUR. I know some here are sitting on millions of points or whatever, but an average CAG will never get enough points for anything of worth, while at Best Buy I feel like I always have at least $5 or $10 in rewards certificates.

Wow.

What a hollow, myopic, pathetic gesture.

Surely they don't think this will have any impact on the shopping tendencies of the hardcore market? Granted, we're not the majority, but we're a large part of their business in that we spend and trade more than the average soccer mom.

I don't want to brag, but I'm a Top Pro and I'm not very enthused by this offering. I'm going to stick with Best Buy and Amazon for most future releases.

Don't touch me, I'm a TOP PRO!

And now the hand-wringing over GS -> BBY flips begins... k

 

[YellowGameboyColor]

Except there's never a need to flip to BBY anymore. GCs are life

 

[Thespyder314]

For onenits b2g1 on games under 20 bucks. Which means it will be all old games. And pretty much unless its a new game or a really popular one. Best buys trade in prices suck

 

[mchittumjr]

I was excited for the B2G1 until i seen it was $20 and under. Not much im interested in at that price.

 

[FlyingMonkey9]

Could get Dead Rising 3 and Ryse but at 14.99 and 19.99 they are both overpriced compared to best buy or gamefly sale

 

[BrianJason]

I was hoping to do a return/rebuy with the F1 I bought last week until I saw the 2/14 start date
