And for those of you without mind-reading powers, they dropped to $24.50 (PS4) and $22.00 (XB1) base values.

That's been the value on the website and in the app for a while, but the actual TIV has been higher. Has the actual TIV been lowered to match what is shown online?

 

[Darkstar00]

I just got my B2G1 from renewing my rewards, and I don't want it, so whoever PMs me first can have fun!

That's all I have to work with right now, since my mind reading abilities are a little on the fritz.

[JohnnyCage]

I hate to ask but does anyone have a $50 off Xbox One coupon they don't plan on using that I could have?

 

[JustCuriousity]

So I if anyone cares, I found Just Dance2015's at Target for 5.98$ that trade for 8 base so 12.80 which is decent. I know it's kind alate but I literally just found them

50% Trade in towards Battlefield 1 worked fine for me. Activated as soon as the preorder was put on the transaction. 

 

[Darthlain18]

Can confirm it was working in store. Just traded in doom for $40. Ps4

 

[bob330i]

According my my store manager, loss prevention has notified all stores that the system updates to prevent the sale of ebay cards and gas cards, not sure which others, will be completed by July 24th. The manager was pretty sure the rollouts were going to be incremental area-wise. Indiana is still good as of Saturday. I'll report back in today after I attempt to cash our more credit.

Pulling this up again based on info I got from a store manager at lunchtime today. As usual, take it with a grain of salt.

She indicated that they stopped allowing trade or GC payments for Ebay, BP, prepaid Visas and Amazon (they didn't have the new cards yet either). She didn't mention Shell or any other gas cards I missed. If the above is true, I'm going to try a couple other GS to convert a couple hundred some credit to Ebay as a last hurrah.

 

[Nick51705]

I can confirm boost still works towards COD

 

[irishsoccermbw]

I just picked up $200 in ebay GCs without issue.

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

I just picked up $400 and the store manager was at the register. Zero issues.

 

[ZenithRequiem]

S model adapter $24 base
X1 controller $24.50 base

 

[whitereflection]

Do any of the Gamestop employees here know if the B2G1 sale will be online too? I'll head to the stores too but the selection on the website obviously can't be beat.

 

[lusal]

Heading in to grab Visa GCs or eBay GCs depending on what's there.

 

[Shropt]

Just putting this here. Had 2 $5 GS reward certificates to use. Used both in one purchase with no problem. Picked up a mislabeled Steam Link for $35 before discounts.

Curious. Of course, Steam Link was on sale for $35 recently, but I've never heard of two coupons of the same value working concurrently. I wonder if it had anything to do with the fact that they're auto-redeeming now. Like, if an auto-redeemed one somehow scans differently than a manually redeemed one. We'll have to experiment. Use two different $50s at once.

 

[ZenithRequiem]

At my home store where they started IDing, I was told by the store manager that ALL gift cards etc can not be bought with trade credit etc, only cash/debit/credit. Will check another store today

 

[Donut2922]

That would suck if I couldn't buy chipotle gift cards with trade credit .... i was hoping the restaurant cards would be safe. Thanks for reporting guys.

So GS.com lists that as BC with Xbox One.  Do they know something we don't?

 

[YellowGameboyColor]

Everyone being 'told' that trade credit can't be used, did you try using credit on them? If they still work then it's fine all until the final moment where they block it on the system.

BC finally gets the game it has needed.

 

[baboonfreak]

fwiw I was able to buy a Netflix card with trade credit yesterday.

 

[reaperztoll]

Bought $500 across ebay and psn with trade credit today. They have heard nothing about a ban either.

 

[ZenithRequiem]

My store just started IDing so it's probably Very ymmv but just thought I'd give a heads up if you're in north jersey

Also DS4 is 27.50 base

Traded 3 at once and got a preorder for cod

 

[boneless]

did you get charged the full $59.99? The guy at my store says I have to pay the whole thing because of the bonus. I call BS.

Who won?

 

[willozsy]

Who won?

well got a $300 ebay GC and got $18 ebay bucks after buying BB GCs. Just have to go back and cancel the preorder and get the $60 back. And Iceland won.

This made me remember to mention. When I went Friday, my store was now asking for ID for trade ins but not to type the ID # in. They were checking to see if name on PUR account is actually you. So I'm guessing that store will reject anyone who uses a PUR card that their actual name isn't tied to.

I was trading in something and some other random person and the employee that was ringing him up asked for it and the manager that did my trade in. I've had to give my ID at some stores because they needed it to finish the trade in but never just to check to make sure account belonged to me.

As for the second part, I bought an ebay card straight from the manager and she didn't say anything. Still good on that front.

Couldnt believe the ers couldn't beat Iceland. The whole of Iceland probably makes less that the likes of Rooney, Kane & Vardy put together. Iceholes!

The 50% extra trade in was mentioned where? I think you referenced a flyer?

Yea it's in the ad.

Page 4 http://www.gamestop.com/weeklyad

 

[scblueeyedguy]

They removed Bravely Default (physical, not digital) from their website? That's a weird one to remove.

 

[ZenithRequiem]

no i did not, only $5 down

 

[ZenithRequiem]

the credit will automatically be applied when you pre-order one of the 3 selected titles. also promo won't work on digitial copies :C

 

[Brenex]

Nice, thank I printed out a copy of page 4 just in case they say anything although it should be automatic but whatevs. I'm going to go pick up some copies of tomb raider from BB and flip some credit over. Any other flips people have come across? I checked the games on sale at BB and some others but I haven't found anything else yet.

 

[godofwar7]

Also Pokemon white 2, soul silver, and heart gold.
I think they're doing some sort of update as opposed to removing the games as the Pokemon games are fairly plentiful.

So there is hope until that theoretical 7/24 date arrives and the system won't let you use trade credit. So in my case, to confirm, it was the store manager who wouldn't ring it up, not the system rejecting the Ebay GC purchase. They got a memo indicating to not allow trade credit for Ebay, Amazon, BP gas card and the prepaid Visas. So the takeaway is do it now before they update the system software.
