Some have recommended to just have the email receipt from Redbox when trading those games in.

also wear your "I'm a flipper" t shirt

 

[GamerDude316]

I've never had trouble trading in Redbox games. When I got Transformers with the rental label on it I just showed the dude my email receipt and it was no problem. Never had any issues with the center stickers either.

 

[Bombarded]

I usually try to remove the stickers but was too lazy this time since I was trading in 3 redbox discs and they didn't care. No refurb fees either. The only problem is, they'd know you flip and keep an eye on you next time lol

 

[Sunrisecityrider]

It's 50/50 if they take the game with the sticker on the middle of the disc. That sticker isn't hard to remove.

It comes off in pieces and it's harder on PS4 games because the disc label goes underneath the sticker. Sometimes the sticker pulls off the disc paint and leaves a shiny circle. This doesn't affect the game but can make it harder to trade in without critique.

Xbox one cuts the disc art short of the ring sticker so it leaves no damage, just a little glue residue.

And who cares if you're a flipper? Stick to the rules and you should be fine.

Leave them in your car for an hour, come back and peel the sticker off in 2 or 3 chunks, then clean up with some lighter fluid.

Every month.

 

[xGwiZ96x]

Left 4 Dead 2's base TIV was $20 a week ago, was $13 last night, and then shot back up to $20. You're confusing Gamestop

 

[bengi15]

Every month.

if i done some cash trade in on late july. August cash limit should be reset now ??

 

[Sunrisecityrider]

No. It's at least a 30 day reset.

Just went into a GameStop store to make a purchase and the guy announced to the entire store that I had 18,000 points. That's not even that many, but I see what you guys were talking about because it was pretty annoying!

Same thing happened to me today, I have 96k points saved up. As soon as he rang me up he announced how many points I had. I laughed it off but I was annoyed inside, people don't need to know how many points I have.

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

Employees yell crap all the time. I just pay it no mind and keep it moving. It's really nothing to get worked up about.

 

[Sunrisecityrider]

I tell them not to announce anything to me. Highlight it on the receipt and keep it quiet.

When they ask for my phone number, I lean in and say it softly so they get the picture from the start.

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

Yeah that works too. I had a bunch of scratched up discs I traded in and the guy didn't charge a refurbished fee. However I traded in pokemon cart only games and he charged a refurbished fee on all 3 in same transaction. I was like wtf? And he said "I didn't charge you for the scratched discs". So I said " well then why the pokemon games?" His response was no cases. I took the cartridges back and he still didn't charge for the discs which were really scratched to shit. It made no sense.

 

[AndyD33]

lol actually giving them your phone number

Burn him.

I should start giving them a mix of letters like a European license plate.

How do you get your bonus without that? Carry your pro card?

 

[AndyD33]

Yes. Both of them.

I had an employee from my store tell me that the word from corporate is that they are gonna start charging refurb fees for no cases before holiday season.

 

[Donut2922]

Wow that would be pretty big if true.

 

[XxCalebChaosxX]

Wow that would be pretty big if true.

Yeah I had another store try to charge me so I just left and went to another one and had no problem,Unless anyone else has heard about it I feel like it's a 50/50 chance it will happen

 

[shrike4242]

They can go themselves for that. I don't think they're going to give is a discount on the purchase of a game if it doesn't have original case and artwork.

 

[whitereflection]

I hope it's true. It's ridiculous that people keep cases or sell them on eBay when trading the games in. Who knows - this new policy and the fact that current consoles use blu-ray discs means that games from Gamestop will actually be in good condition most of the time. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they saw a noticeable drop in revenue because they can't tack on as many refurb fees as before. 

Can you imagine that? Getting working, good condition games 99% of the time when you shop at Gamestop?

I always figured most of the cases sold on ebay were mainly from dumpster divers.

Its not true.

it happened to me today as well lol. this guy say i have a fkn 130k point when it is done and i am about to leave. He talked to manager and said he has never seen a guy with 130k point. I just smile and leave.

Should've called him a noob and told him to get on your level followed by a wink and a hush

I hope it's true also. Who trates in a game without the case anyways, besides dumbasses thinking they are sticking it to them. I know if I'm buying a used game to keep it better have the original case.

 

[Thespyder314]

So I have a B2G1 Free coupon from reupping PUR and my birthday is this week so I just got my 20% off preowned game so Im guessing if i stacked those it would waste the 20% off coupon because it would take it off the free game just like the dollar amount off preowned game coupons do correct?

Walked into a store this week, and as I was leaving, the girl goes "Thanks again for shopping at Gamestop!!  You've saved $500 so far this year!"

I didn't really want the manager or other employees to know what was up, so I just nervously said " He he... I love shopping at Gamestop... what can I say?" as I crept out of the door

You should've told her, "This is where I do all my shopping. I buy my groceries, gas, breakfast, lunch, and dinners here. I was planning to buy a plane ticket here soon. But, you guys put an end to that with your gift card restrictions. So now, I'm just gonna have to use you for your cash."

Yeah, that's the way I go about it too, just nervously laugh it off. Maybe next time I'll try "that $500 is for our next date babe."

How much you've saved on the receipt is how much you've ripped off gamestop. I don't really think we save at gamestop lol

It's like they're talking about power levels in Dragon Ball Z. lol

I'm glad I don't have the crazy people. They don't announce my totals or do anything ridiculous. However some douche customer overheard us talking about the Left 4 Dead 2 flip, and he decided to buy all the copies at the Walmart close by. Still can't believe the manager let him trade in 2 copies. Still plenty of Deadpool copies he can flip to pay off No Man's Sky.

 

[Bombarded]

This dude looked at my ID real good when I traded in for cash and said "interesting"

LMAO @ Dragon Ball Z levels. As a side note... those Naruto boxer briefs that may be on clearance at your store are very comfortable

My store's management just turned over and the new ASM nearly went into cardiac arrest when she saw my 600k points.

Did you tell her how excited you were to almost be able to get the life size batman?

Is it possible to get replacement card for the PUR card? I'm afraid I misplaced mine several years back and would like to avoid giving out my number.

How have you been using it up to this point? Would probably have to call CS to see if you can get a new card.

 

[chrome3333]

You could use the app on the phone or have them scan a picture of the cards barcode.

 

[ChronoSlayer]

How have you been using it up to this point?

They usually ask me for my phone number since it was originally linked to my account. I'd just assume it would be easier for me to keep under the radar without giving out any direct info to them, showing the card just seems simpler and much straightforward IMO

 

[ChronoSlayer]

Sweet, had no idea about this.

Now I just need to decide which apps to delete to allow enough memory to download the app, ugh... blast all them useless, preinstalled apps!
