[quote name='RandyTsai']this credit you are referring to are unused preorder deposits. It has nothing to do with your edge card and It's not free credit.[/QUOTE]
That's definitely not it, at least not for me... in the least.
I never pre-order/reserve anything and usually only get my games on heavy markdown or sale--this IS CheapAssGamer.com, am I right?
I haven't been into a GS and actually bought anything in well over a year.
I got this text and followed it to get an email for a printable Edge Card with the matching numbers of the card in my wallet, purportedly there is an
unused trade-in credit of $28.xx. And now I've only ever made two trade-ins, one time for Rock Band Track Packs worth under $15 together and another time I traded in Modern Warfare 1 for a relative, which I immediately turned around and bought a game with.
This definitely sounds to me like some massive system error.
I noticed on the printable Edge card page it says it can only be redeemed online, and thinking from a Retail standpoint, I wouldn't be surprised if once they catch this glitch they try to get customers to re-compensate for the value once it's spent. I know I would if I was the shmuck that suddenly re-activated old trade-in values for a boatload of customers.
