My store said they stopped selling the variable Kindle cards.  I tried to ring one up today but the POS wouldn't recognize them.  I asked if they were just a bad batch and the keyholder I knew said it was that they were actually meant to be pulled off the floor.  The fixed Kindle cards worked just fine using trade credit.

You lose the certificate after you use it. I'm pretty sure you can call customer service and get the points back onto your account, but it's been a long time since I have tried it.

I bought it off someone.

Then you're screwed.

i have a question for the extra 20% trade in toward new title. Do i have to trade in toward pre-order or pick up some cheap 3ds new game?

ANY new game, so the cheap 3ds new game would work.

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

I did it with a pre order and received the bump yesterday

 

[jeffcrazy]

thank you! now, what comes out in 2019 thats already in the system? lol

 

[AndyD33]

Except for $.01 games. At least for pc. They don't work.

new pc game doesnt work?

 

[RoxyWahine03]

Can the extra 20% trade in be used on an online order made in-store if the store doesn't have the game "new" in-store? lol I know I know I'm repeating myself but no one replied that question last Friday apparently lol

And is this extra 20% on the already 10% with PUR card or just 20% if u have PUR lol

 

[AndyD33]

new pc game doesnt work?

I'm not sure about PC games in general, but I tried a $.01 one the other day and it didn't provide the bump.

 

[bengi15]

the extra 20% work with accessory trade in ???

 

[Ashlla]

I just got a Pokemon Day e-mail from GS that says they're also doing DS trade bonuses. $50 for 2DS, $75 for 3DS, and $100 for 3DSXL when you do a trade towards a N3DS, and I assume N3DSXL will apply as well. I don't see the inflated TiV or the promo listed on the site right now, so it might go up tomorrow (new weekly ad day), or it might be only for that one day (2/27). I'm tempted to trade my unused, blue Smash 3DSXL in for the promo, and go to the Pokemon N3DS or try for the FE Fates XL, though that's probably underselling a mint, LE console.

Oh, and Charizard amiibo are supposed to show up there.

Is the trade in bonus Saturday only?

 

[RoxyWahine03]

the extra 20% work with accessory trade in ???

It says Games only =(

 

[BiggNick]

Sorry for the possible lazy question, but didn't see any fine print. Is it 20% on all games traded towards a new game (if I have 9 to trade in) or just 20% more for one game traded towards a new/pre-order game?

Thanks in advance.

 

[Lil Frier]

Is the trade in bonus Saturday only?

It does not say. I actually was at 2 stores today and forgot to ask. I was too busy looking at other stuff. However, they each had 1 Charizard amiibo on the shelf.

I also wanna know, what happens if u have like 9 games but ur buying like one of those on sale games for $19.99 and your trade in credit is like $100... will u only get 20% extra on whatever actually gets applied to the $19.99 new game? and the remaining $80.01 has only the regular 10%? or does it not matter what the $ is of the new game?

All games in the trade get 10% bonus. In your example of $100 base trade, you'll get $120 with bonus+PUR, and then buying a $19.99 game means you'll end up with $100.01.

 

[gindias]

Looks like it ends on 3/8. I hope I can trade in and return the new system for full credit, been trying get rid of my kids Pokemon system forever. $100 is a good price.

One question, can i order a Nvidia shield tablet only available online in store?. I have credit and they don't charge me tax in store and they do in online orders. If they do, do they charge shipping or not because is in store pick up?.

 

[dieselsoccer]

Has anyone been ID'ed when purchasing gift cards?

You shouldn't have a problem ordering it, but because it's an online order in store, they will still charge you taxes and they will also charge you shipping. I found this out last year when I did in-store orders on a lot of stuff. My stores don't normally charge tax for credit, but the online in store orders all were charged tax.

Thanks for the info mate. Online is a bundle of the Nvidia Shiel + Remote for $200. I found the Shield and the remote at one store not too far from here and it wasn't a bundle but they respected the $200 price for both so i got it with no tax.

 

[Devulture]

So I checked this link:

http://www.polygon.com/2015/2/11/8021989/gamestop-nintendo-new-3ds-xl

And I wonder if Gamestop stores still do that.  I would like to make the $100 trade-in towards the New 3DS, but I also don't wish to lose the data from my old system without doing a system transfer.

Did you get the Shield tablet?
Or the console?

I was looking for the tablet, can't find it.
Thanks

Can someone who buys a lot of ebay cards using gs credit answer a question for me?

1.  How many ebay cards can I redeem at once?

2. How many am I allowed to redeem in a month?

Reason I ask is that ebay has 4 times ebay bucks for the next two days and I want to buy some bb cards and go buy a new comp at bb.

All prices are with GCU or PUR.

A ton of values got bumped. If you happened to grab Witcher III or Mad Max during the Best Buy DOTD, it now trades for $27.50. One day I will learn to jump on more of these DOTD.

http://www.gamestop.com/trade/Browse/

Someone mentioned Uncharted Collection at Redbox, which now trades for $27.50. Also, State of Decay is $8.99 at Redbox and trades for $22.00.

At Best Buy, LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is $9.59 and trades for $13.75.

Must be one of those weekend trade bumps. Black Ops 3 for 360 and PS3 are $27.50 as well. GoW 3 PS4 dropped finally. lol

 

[applecider]

So many high values, so many games I traded for half that  .  Some of the Target B1G2 games seem to have increased, as well.

Shadow of Mordor GOTY is $22 with PUR.

Final Fantasy X-X2 HD is $22 with PUR.

TLoU: Remastered is $27.50 with PUR.

 

[Bobby's World]

its like BBY and GS are working together to prevent fliparoonis!!

 

[bengi15]

ps4 value > xbox one wtf:/

 

[Kevlar338]

I would assume it would stack since the base values got bumped. I might head out soon and dump some of the Target b1g2 games I have , I'll report back if someone doesn't confirm before then.

 

[bengi15]

metal gear phatom pain ps3 trade in is 22 if you get it for 15.xx from amazon last week.

Bloodborne and Elder Scrolls Online are 18.99 at Redbox and trade with PUR for 27.50.

There's only one edition of Elder Scrolls Online, right?


Confirmed values in store.

There was a CE.

Thanks bengi. I noticed prime now deliveries no longer include the tipping option. I wonder if they use another carrier service?

 

[TooPoor]

AC Syndicate jumped from $22 to $27.5 too. Kicking myself for trading it in yesterday

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

It stacks with the preorder / new games. Just did a trade in to confirm.

 

[ShockandAww]

What stacks with the preorder/new games? I'm out of the loop but looking to trade some stuff in.

Edit: I'm not sure if this is what you're talking about but does PUR stack with the 20%? For example say a $30 base game would be $33 with PUR.

With PUR and 20% it'd trade for $39, correct?

 

[reaperztoll]

If anyone picked up a cheap copy(or recently plat'ed like me) One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 it's up to 27.50.

 

[tearsintherain]

You get a 20% extra bump this weekend on your trades (10% without PUR) if you buy or preorder a new game. I don't know what "new" means though - last week, last month, $59.99 MSRP, ?

You can see it on their trade home page
