They are dead in my area I was just curious if it depending on the area or was it nationwide.

It seems to be a nationwide rollout that's happened incrementally.

I think it's safe to say that it's blocked nationwide now. I haven't seen anyone say they could do it recently.

 

[Nick51705]

Ghostbusters (XB1, PS4) is a BB DOTD for $23.99 GCU. You can trade it in for $27.50 cash. Probably one of the last chances you'll get to convert credit to cash.

I'm down here in Alabama and it finally rolled over for us this week. Was nice while it lasted.

 

[Crisco_Disco878]

Is there gonna be a 50% trade in promo at the end of the sale? Anybody know?

 

[Kyle1022]

Website and app show the trade-in values from the stealth bump are still up, can anyone on the east coast confirm?

 

[Nick51705]

New Nintendo Selects announced. RIP WWHD TIV. If you have any of these games and wanted to trade them in, better do it now before the values tank.

This also explains why Captain Toad, Mario Party 10, and Yoshi's Woolly World dropped in price.

Can someone clarify the current Xbox One S trade-in promo?  I have a Day One edition Xbox One and Day One edition controller I want to trade but I want to keep the Kinect.  There seems to be a bunch of various Xbox One models listed so I assume they are basically saying any Xbox One with a controller will get you $150 trade credit but I wanted to make sure it doesn't have to be an exact version they list there.  The closest listing I can find to mine would be:   Xbox One Black 500GB w/Original Controller

You don't need to trade in the Kinect.

Have WW HD digital but will rebuy physical for the collection

I might do the same, but I'd prefer a copy without the Nintendo Selects border. :???:

I was able to get eBay cards last week. Northern Kentucky area. Haven't tried since though.

Can you buy a GameStop gift card in store with GameStop gift cards/trade credit cards? I have 16 GameStop gift cards/trade credit cards that I want to consolidate into one gift card. 

 

[Nick51705]

I know for sure that you can consolidate gift cards, but I've had cashiers reject me when I pull out paper gift cards or use my Gyft app.

The only thing I'm confident is that you can't combine gift cards and trade credit into one card. They are considered different currencies.

 

[ChronoSlayer]

I know for sure that you can consolidate gift cards, but I've had cashiers reject me when I pull out paper gift cards or use my Gyft app.

I'm guessing they reserve the right to do so but isn't that the whole point of the gyft app? To reduce wallet clutter?

I'm thinking this merits a burn...

you can buy a gamestop giftcard with your trade credit.

 

[ChronoSlayer]

you can buy a gamestop giftcard with your trade credit.

YMMV on this one. Numerous people have recently been denied since the POS doesn't allow it as a valid payment tender.

EDIT: My bad, apparently you can buy Gamestop GCs with trade credit. The POS will only deny gas cards and ebay cards if you're planning on paying with trade credit.

I think they believe the numbers are stolen since I don't have the physical cards. Not worth using a survey for IMO.

 

[AndyD33]

Wrong. The POS denies it for eBay and gas cards.

Nothing else.

 

[ChronoSlayer]

Nothing else.

my bad, but since that is the case then:

Are there any notable differences between trade credit and a GS giftcard other than trade credit not being taxable (in some areas)?

Nothing other than the not-taxed in certain states.

With all the times Wind Waker has been a flip, you never kept a copy of the case? That's what I did.

When you don't have space on your phone for the GS app, might be best trying to burn someone else from using their phone with space to spare.

 

[Bombarded]

What's going on? Still nothing tanked? Not complaining though

Browser never fails, baby!

 

[Nick51705]

I will end up having converted GCs to $492.25 cash. I guess I'm done with this cash for credit promo now

Weekend bumps usually last through Monday. Tomorrow will be drop day.

I'm probably the furthest thing from a GameStop trade value historian, but hasn't it been shoved down our throats in this very thread that those stealth weekend bumps usually end COB Tuesday, making Wednesday TIV drop day?

 

[godofwar7]

They have dropped the values on Tuesdays while not actually updating the prices on the app on website. So we just say Monday to be safe.

 

[AndyD33]

They have dropped sometimes after Monday and sometimes after Tuesday.

I personally do anything I have to do on Monday just to be safe.

TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan seems to be holding strong @ $27.50.

Amazon has it for under $22. Just saying...

 

[Vigilante]

*sigh* No, I didn't.

 

[Nick51705]

"Why do you have 2 copies of ghostbusters?"

"I'm a masochist."

ummm but tmrw value may tank...

 

[ChronoSlayer]

"Why do you have 2 copies of ghostbusters?"

lol, I wouldn't give a single copy to my worst enemy.

Or would I?

 

[theking20]

let those values die > 

 

[ChuckInKC]

I've been holding on to my Tomb Raider and Diablo UE for no apparent reasons. Hoping I can trade them tonight because those values dip 10 dollars lower after the bumps end.

 

[Sunrisecityrider]

ummm but tmrw value may tank...

You don't get it...Bestbuy has a lot of copies of TMNT: Manhattan and they have a policy that can be used to your advantage.

 

[Bobby's World]

If you have PRIME Now, you can get a delivery in 2 hours or less. I ordered Ninja Turtles, Lego Avengers, and Just Dance 2016 for the xbox one over the weekend. It was nice way to turn my gift cards into cash.

 

[jvang117]

"Why do you have 2 copies of ghostbusters?"

I...just give me my cash, gdi!

 

[DrBayrd]

Odd thing happened at GS today. Brought mad max for $15 new on sale recently. Returned it today with receipt. Was given $29.99 in trade credit and $1.80 in cash (for tax). Not complaining, just surprised.

C'mon. "Bustin' makes me feel good!" Is the only correct answer.

Someone on the Gamestop reddit said that the cash same as credit promo has been extended through the end of the month. Not sure if it's true, just spreading the rumor.

yeah the legal info on http://www.gamestop.com/trade is now showing 8/28 for cash same as credit

 

[Bizarrosfne]

Tried to do a trade on my second account and found out I hit the cash limit. I was expecting it but definitely traded over $500 on that one. My main one is probably still good and at around $400 I think. 

 

[Bombarded]

So what can you do to avoid getting your accounts linked when trading in for cash? Use passport as ID? How bout resident card

 

[Sunrisecityrider]

8/28? Oh yes. Now we all getting banned fosho

 

[CookieMonster156]

They must have not had enough trades for the holiday season. The trade promos usually are in the summer.

Well, if they will lift the ban limits, they will get many more trades.

 

[ZeroGame]

Any way for you to accurately total what you did and how much over the 500 you went? I know some people were thinking you could do 550 or potentially a little more.

This would help narrow down the limit
