Are they doing another bonus, similar to this past Sunday and Monday?

 

[kintanos]

I returned some games from the B2G1 Free and i got the price for all 3 games instead of just 2 @_@

I guess the GS guy ed up badly, even though he checked the receipt and scanned it multiple times

I almost had that happen until the very end when swiping my card, the supervisor or a senior caught it and took over.

 

[person123]

Anyone got confirmation on the 50% bonus coming this weekend? If so I gotta finish up some of these games I just bought 

 

[Bobby's World]

I don't think so. I just looked at the last page in the BF ad and it states that offers in that page are for 11/22-11/23 only

 

[dgwillia006]

Would love if theres a promo this weekend. Gives me just enough time to finish Sword Art, and trade in all the stuff I swapped to digital versions/possibly swap a few more games to digital

 

[doc_j88]

Interesting. Wonder if it'll blow over after a couple days or weeks.

I was denied buying a Gas card. My store manager said gas cards, and Visa cards can't be bought with GC

So I bought a eBay card, and Amazon card

Went through and activated just fine

I'm going to stop by tomorrow and purchase a game and visa gift card using my trade credit. i hope they don't say anything to me. when i worked for over a year, we never denied anyone unless they were sketchy. same goes for when i worked at target and people are trying to buy $400 of visa cards.

 

[Miami Flash15]

It's kinda getting to the point where to just use all your credit now before the policies change and you're stuck with an abundance of GS credit that can only be transferred via flips.

 

[acthechamp]

I successfully got $200 in eBay GC with my trade credit. Still have another $275 to use lol.

I think people reported that some members were getting banned using coupons from other accounts. That said, I'm not gonna use my $50 bonus console trade-in coupon so you can have it if you're willing to risk it. Free of charge. I'd look into the matter a little more though if I were you...

I believe people were only getting banned for using an excess amount of reward certs from other accounts.

It's both.

Should be in your Active Offers if you're a paid PUR member

 

[inkcil]

Looks like Gamestop may have been overwhelmed by Rare Replay and Gears ultimate trade ins becasue neither comes up in their system anymore.

 

[LOTRandSWFan]

Good. Maybe Rare Replay will be dirt cheap pre-owned if they have an overstock of it. I want it, but not $15 want it.

This is GS we're talking about here.

 

[DANIEL]

so the 50% trade in  credit for games and accessories is alive today (sunday)?

No

 

[Helldweller87]

No its not alive, i did a trade in a couple of hours ago and there was no 50% bonus. I think someone that posted about it was confused on the one that was last Sunday and Monday.

 

[LOTRandSWFan]

Yeah, I guess so. But I'm thinking like them throwing those into one of those 4 for 20s or something down the road. That seems to be what they do with overstocks. I would love to get Rare Replay for essentially $5.

 

[HyperG]

Rare Replay is showing up for sale new $19.99 , along with Gears of War Ultimate. GameStop just takes the trade in value off the desktop version of the website when there is a sale for new copies from what I was told (God of War 3 Remastered trade in value wasn't showing yesterday as an example, because it was on sale for $19.99). When you say system, did you mean the website or in store? Jiryn pointed out what I mentioned. Credit goes to Jiryn for pointing this out to me originally.

Sure if you want to wait 3-4 years to get it. Not even their overstocked current gen sports games are in those sales.

No it's b/c the new sale price is cheaper than the used price.

I made a complicated explanation two posts above yours.

Edit: My bad I'm an idiot for taking something out of context.

 

[chnandler_bong]

Well excuse me I was on the day behind posts since I was looking at last read post on my phone.

I think he was thanking you for taking what he said and simplifying it so that people could understand it. At least that's how I read it.

Right, I wish I had the ability to sum up an answer in a few words.

 

[TYmaster50]

I heard something about a $50 bonus on console trade in with power up rewards pro

how do I use that?

Use a time machine.

...Because the $50 bonus for PS4/XB1 trade-ins expired yesterday. Sorry.

 

[TYmaster50]

Ah, well thats a bummer lol

still i think my GS app is bugged

I renewed my membership, and it's still telling me that i'm just a basic member

Try logging out and then logging back in. Sometimes that has worked for me.

How long has it been since you renewed? 24-48 hrs might be normal

 

[Finger_Shocker]

That some horrible TIV for games they have currently, not even a 40 for anything....

30 for tom clancy ... That's a crime

 

[person123]

Was trying to buy some stuff on gamestop.com and trying to find that free shipping coupon. Was it saver? CAG16 works but saver doesn't seem to be working.

Is your total around $24.99 or more?

Do you know if BB offered a $10 rc for that game? I completely missed it if they did

You don't need saver right now. Everyone can get free value shipping with no code for the holidays. Just continue through the checkout process and you should see a free value shipping option even though saver isn't working.

 

[person123]

Weird, my subtotal before taxes is $26.40 but value shipping is showing up as $4 and saver doesn't work also no free shipping option.

Some items don't qualify like preorders for example.

 

[person123]

If I take off CAG16 the saver coupon will show up but if I put back cag16 the saver coupon will disappear. I'm ordering some DS games and wii games. Guess I can't use both together.

It stacks only some of the time.

 

[JohnnySucco]

It should still be free shipping on orders over $25 right now without the coupon. My cart with a few used games shows free value shipping. What you might be encountering is the $1 handling charge GS decided to add to some titles. A lot of DS games show it. If you look at the page for the game(s) you are buying it will say "Additional handling fee of $1.00 will apply." This is on top of their regular shipping charge and will show up even if SAVER works.

 

[person123]

Ya it looks like theres a handling charge for the DS games, thats pretty dumb but I guess thats why I see a charge when it comes to the shipping page. Thanks for that thought I was doing something wrong.

 

[TYmaster50]

Any way to flip powerup rewards points to gift cards? 

I have 15k, enough for a $15 reward certificate but i can't use it on GCs

I disagree. People will trade it in at that price, I've seen it time and time again.
