Can I use the $5 monthly coupon on gift cards?

Yes you can in store but not online please note not all gift cards will apply to this rule.

I have a $XX.xx pre-owned reward certificate, and I want to use it on a B2G1 transaction. Should I?
It depends. If the three games are equal value, do not use your certificate. The value of the certificate would be applied to the free game, which would not benefit you. If one game is more expensive, you can use the certificate to make it the same value as the other two games ($5 reward certificate applied to transaction with two $10 games and one $15 game would make all three games $10).


TERMINOLOGY AND LINGO:
ASL/SL: Assistant Store Leader, Store Leader; manager positions at GS.
B2G1: Buy two, get one free.
GS: GameStop
JD: Junior detective, an employee who is out to get someone
LP: Loss Prevention; this is the department that actually bans accounts after being flagged.
TC/TiC: Trade credit.
TIV/TV: Trade in value, or what a game currently trades for. When posting a TV for a game, always use the base value.

At the same time tho, this is modern EA we're talking about. They're gonna wanna monetize the hell out of any game they publish (let's not forget Star Wars Battlefront), and certainly colleges and college football players want the share of the profit pie too right?

While I get that,it's been quite sometime so hopefully it won't be too overwhelming to say least
 
I just got back from trading in my Series X for cash same as credit. At first their POS didn't show the promotion and the cashier had to call their boss. The boss told them to reset the computer and everything worked after that. I got $357.50 for the Series X and $33 for Lunar Shift controller. The cashier said they don't do Venmo so I ended up with a Pre-payed Mastercard instead.

That's a great trade in value for cash.
 
FYI fist of the North Star fitness boxing is $10 new on switch, trades in for $15.40 cash. Also walking Dead destiny's and trolls remix for series X are both $10 new, and $11 cash trade. Double dipping my coupon, I just turned $20 trade credit into $37 cash. I'm not sure how long the values will hold but I can confirm it working as of right now.
 
My Pro expires in September, if I buy the cheaper renewal this week, do I lose two months of membership? It says my new renewal would be July 2025.

Should've clarified I meant the specific renewal offer they give you when nearing the end of your sub. Thanks for the responses.

do you know if that offer pops up every time you go to check out or is it just a one time thing? it popped up last time for me but my sub is good til November and the guy just dismissed it.
 
Cleaning out my closet and found my old storage of gamestop b2g1free orders from 2018. Ofc they screw me with a fake copy of dbz smh, but still wished i went more ham back then. The good ol days lol. Anybody remember elite pro? Apparently it was 20% off used.

Nice so there’s this 19.94 deal they have for GameStop pro membership then there’s a “honeycoupon” coupon which takes 5.35 off which brings it down to 14.84 for me. Can u use your points towards it online tho?

Nvm even if it does, I forgot I redeemed my points for instore only rewards looool

just got my 2 orders from game stops B2G1 free sale

order 1
Advance Wars 1 and 2 Re-Boot Camp Switch (came complete)
Paper Mario: The Origami King Switch (came complete)
ASTRAL CHAIN Switch (came complete)

order 2
LIVE A LIVE Switch (came in a generic black case)
Disney Illusion Island Switch (came in a generic black case)
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Switch (came in a generic black case)
 
Bought 12 PS2 and GameCube games during the buy 2 get 1 free.

- 5 came in generic cases
- 7 came in cases with covers, but only 2 came with manuals
- 2 discs don't work... Looking at them, it looks like they were resurfaced but poorly done. You can see the swirls on them

As long as I can get replacement discs, I will be happy with the price. Definitely cheaper than eBay. I print my own covers anyway. Although I would never trust GameStop with cartridge games because I know they take in a lot of replicas

problem is now finding New copies of Fist of the North Star Fitness Boxing at your local stores; very very hard to find. i hope this cash boost lasts for the WHOLE week with no value changes

i'm shocked disney illusion came without a case, and astral chain came with one.

Astral chain had a reprint so it coming with the case isn't too far from the realm of possibility iirc. It actually kinda makes sense despite Disney being newer of the 2 since kids are more likely to toss the cases than a jrpg adult player.
 
So my membership ends next week and I didn't get any renewal offers and probably will be letting it go like a lot of you. Only have about 8k in points (they expire 45 days after end of membership, right?). Also down to about 16 in tic left.

Can the points still be used at register in $1 increments? I know tic can be used in store on digital currency cards (eshop, etc)..but can points also?
 
To use any coupons, you have to be a Pro member. You are redeeming points for coupons when you use them, so you will forfeit the points if you don't use them before your membership expires.

Weird. The website still says different.

Do my points expire? What is the point expiration policy?​

  • Points expire 13 months from the date of accumulation.
  • If your Pro membership ends, all of your points will expire 45 days after the end date.
  • Pro Tip: Keep your Account on auto-renew and redeem your points within a year of accumulating them to prevent your points from expiring!
 
Anyone had their coupons go poof? I had redeemed a bunch of points for different increments of money because I know that's the only way they stack. Originally they said they expired in like 2 months. And then later on it was changed to a date of December of this year so I didn't worry about it. And now they have poofed.

What do you mean double dipping coupon?
 
Decided to hang on to my Xbox series x back when it was trading for $390 a couple weeks ago, but now with it at $357 cash I might just do it. Have like $400 in credit so really didn't want more, but with the cash deal might have to do it. Anyone remember cash trading limits before a ban?

Edit: OP says $500 for cash trades.
 
Found copies of both Persona 3 and Unicorn Overlord for Xbox at my local store this week. Had $11 in points banked plus my $5 reward so the total was $54 before tax. Not too shabby.
 
The vast majority of the reason I was a Gamestop Pro was for the physical Game Informer.

My Pro expires at the end of the month, but then there's the 19.94 sale. So, I went to renew and there was a 5 dollar coupon to renew on my account (apparently not my monthly pro) and I had cashed out 1000 points for another dollar, knocking it down to 13.94, so I did it. Still, I hate paying for membership programs, and now I bet in a month they'll change the coupons to something even worse, but figured it was worth it this time.
