I signed up for pro today. A code for $50 console trade in bonus printed out at the bottom of the receipt. Did you double check your receipt?

Yup, it was on the receipt, noob mistake! Thanks for the help.

 

[keyblader1985]

Aw damn. I noticed that there were hundreds of posts made in the last twenty-four hours and knew some shit was going down. I better get out to a Redbox.

 

[klimb22]

Great, thanks. I have no idea what it's from, but I'm glad to have found it!

E: Any idea if this can be used online? When I go through the checkout process, I don't see an option to apply that value.

You use the 19 digits and PIN on the back of your PUR card at checkout.

 

[sp00ge]

Is that just the headset that came with say the Assassin's Creed Xbone system bundle?

No, the 3" long 2.5mm->3.5mm cable adapter.

So i finally cleaned out some of my backlog at GS.  Also traded in a extra xbox one and DS4 controller.  Picked up a couple of the sports games that were on sale at BB to flip back to GS.  Walked out with around $450 in trade credit and picked up a $100 ebay GC and $100 Amazon.

Also on my way back i stopped a couple of red boxes.

Found MLB 15 PS3 for 8.99

2. Resident Evil Revelations 2 for $5.99  PS4

FF X2 PS4 for $8.99

Did see mine craft but didn't pick it up.

Resident Evil for PS4 trades in for $16 if you can find them at your local red box.

Will be making another stop to GS later.

 

[lusal]

I checked the only two RedBoxes in my small town...absolutely nothing.

[dealzg]

I read that the ebay cards could take hours to activate?? I haven't tried mine yet though.

Edit: just checked and its not active yet

I guess it's just a matter of luck on how quickly they activate, but I bet you will be able to get BB gift cards before the early access start.

 

[Bobby's World]

Nope. (From my experience anyways, can't hurt to ask. May vary)

I got hit with a $2 refurbish fee, so $14...I ended up with $64 for xbox 360 accessories and $120 for 2 GTAs and 1 Halo 5. I purchased a $184 ebay gift card

 

[pstash78]

PSA: Don't forget to get the trade back card for trading on Tuesday if need it be. This is what the card looks like if the employees at your store are clueless:

Front:

Back: (Blacked out part is a barcode with EBC code underneath the barcode).

Where do you obtain this?

 

[AAK_SO_COLD]

Could the values go up Tuesday while stacking with that coupon?

 

[keyblader1985]

I was getting all ready to go on a flipping spree. I checked the Redboxes around me first, and of the four flips I've seen mentioned (Minecraft, FFX2, Resident Evil, MLB), there is ONE Minecraft in my area.

 

[GamerDude316]

Traded in State of Decay, Re Rev 2, Borderlands PS4, Smash and Minecraft. No problems with the 50%.

 

[Helldweller87]

I totally forgot but for Elite and Elite plus members at (Best Buy), starting tomorrow with the early BF sales, they have some of the sports games listed on sale for $29.99 before GCU. I know what i am going to grab to flip back to GS tomorrow.

Don't the early access prices not ring up in store though?

 

[Helldweller87]

Don't the early access prices not ring up in store though?

Not sure on that, i was going to do it online for store pick up and have my cart ready for tomorrow morning. But i see now that all the games i added only show for shipping only and no store pickup available.

May not work as i thought.

 

[endlessirony]

Yeah I think its online only, but we'll see

 

[ironmenpb]

Traded in couple games and my headset today

Fallout 4 (x1) =                    $40

Ass Creed Syndicate (x1) =$40

Gears of War (x1)                $20.80

X1 wired headset                $8.80

total $109.60 wit PUR  pro card

Yeah, you aren't able to do store pick up for early access

 

[Cerrato0426]

Does anyone have a recent refurb fee for PS4s? Just a ballpark. I'm hoping it's closer to $50 not $100 /

 

[PokeChaos480]

Thought it was $120. Could be wrong.

 

[Dbill309]

I thought about that, but can't find the adapter cable that came with mine. Last time I tried to trade it in, they wouldn't take it.

Just happened to me. I had 2 and was clueless about the cord. I'll have to look in the boxes they came in and hopefully they're in there.

 

[JohnnyCage]

Hope the values hold tomorrow. I didn't feel like going out today.

 

[Geco17]

I guess I'm done with eBay GCs. Got that error code that makes you call in order to have your account restored.

 

[bengi15]

if i buy the game from redbox can i return if gamestop dont take it?

 

[Miami Flash15]

Did you go over a certain amount or is this your first time?

 

[Geco17]

Did you go over a certain amount or is this your first time?

It was only my 2nd time. The first time I bought a $25 BB GC. I just wanted to get another $100 BB GC.

 

[Miami Flash15]

Damn, that's discouraging. I haven't done it yet.

 

[Geco17]

Damn, that's discouraging. I haven't done it yet.

Yeah. I had to call. Told me they're having "problems." Which I don't believe since I was able to proceed to checkout with other items. Told me to wait an hour. Hopefully it's taken care of. If not, they told me to call again. Really discouraging since I was trying to save up for BB BF prices tomorrow.

 

[jungere]

just got shot down for trading in redbox games. Didn't have time to put them in anything else, so tried to trade them as is.

That's bull. That's no reason to take games. The games work fine and the sticker is there -- so effin' what!?

My two GameStops took them with no problems. I sympathize!

Well there's plenty of reason if you just walk in with the stickers on the discs and in the Redbox containers. They're supposed to turn away any business they believe involves stolen property and that looks like stolen property on the surface. Using stolen cards to get discs out of machines and then dumping them for whatever they can is a pretty common tactic. Should have taken the time to peel the stickers and just taken them in disc only.

I guess it's very YMMV. I went in to GameStop and not only did they take them they kept the redbox cases.
I did have the purchase receipt email ready in case he said something though.

 

[GamerDude316]

I traded in 3 Redbox games with no issues today but I did put them in disc-sleeves.  Bringing them in the case is just asking for trouble.

Have you tried to take the stickers off? It's near impossible.

Under normal circumstances I would have but I was under a time crunch. Had a order of flautas waiting at Taco Cabana.

I get it and reasonably they should have taken them. Just saying that it is understandable depending on what they're instructed by the store and district managers and how much crap they have go through that store. In some areas if they have too many issues with theft they can lose their ability to take trades entirely.

 

[cheapo911]

Do we know when this offer expires?

 

[AvatarGoku]

I know kindle cards add to you overall Amazon gift card balance, but do the kindle fire 0-500$ ones get added the same way?

 

[amusedtoe]

Do we know when this offer expires?

The 50%? Tomorrow unless you get one of the coupons.

 

[Rick4Life]

None of the stores I went to knew anything about the 50% trade in coupon for Tuesday.

 

[Komentra]

I know kindle cards add to you overall Amazon gift card balance., but do the kindle fire 0-500$ ones do as well?

Yep. They're all just Amazon giftcards with different branding.

 

[iduncurr]

I did not realize the xb1 headset traded in for that much. I have like 5 of them collecting dust somewhere. 

 

[dan77733]

Does anyone know what the base trade in value is for Rise of the Tomb Raider? I have searched for it and it never comes up. Transformers and other crap comes up and if I just search Tomb Raider, all the previous games come up. It's very frustrating. UGH.

 

[RunningMan]

Ugg, dont know if its been over 30 days since my last trade, worried about the 4 limit, cant remember how to check what you traded in/history of trades at gamestop, can someone please tell me.

There's a trade in limit of 4?

 

[RunningMan]

There's a trade in limit of 4?

been told 4 of the same game, 4 controllers, etc anymore in 30 days will get you banned, need to find the link for trade history

 

[amusedtoe]

Hopefully everyone had as enjoyable day at GS as I did.

 

[ironmenpb]
