GS FAQ

Where is the weekly ad?
They ended the weekly ad for more rotation of deals. Please check the homepage and deal link for the current deals.

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.

Anyone randomly get an email saying “thanks for renewing pro your card on file will be charged”. When you didn’t renew pro and don’t have a card on file on that profile?

I had auto renew off but for some reason got the email and was actually charged. May be best to not have a card on file.

If subbed to PS+, you might get another slight discount depending on which games.
 
Just got back from Gamestop. I bought the BF Fortnite PS5 Slim Disc version and the price came up to $399. The $25 off of $250 promo applied.
Did you order it online and pickup in store or just bought it in store? It shows the PS5’s as eligible for $25 off of $250 but it’s not working now.
 
It worked on the regular PS5 Disc console but didn’t work on the Fortnite bundle. I also grabbed some cool stuff on clearance. Solid deal for $399.99. Didn’t have to pay tax since I used $340 in trade in credit.
That's odd that it didn't work on the Fortnite bundle for you, but it did for me. They must have changed something in their system during the day yesterday because I went right when the store opened at 12pm. Glad that you were able to get the deal for $399.99.

I was surprise. I called the store just to check and they mentioned the Fortnite bundle being excluded. I don’t play Fortnite anyway, but I’m extremely excited about a $399.99 PS5 without tax. Sales tax here would have made it close to $435.

Hopefully a few of the games get a bit cheaper. Stellar Blade, Pokemon: Legends of Arceus, Metaphor, and Dragonball Sparking being $30 or less would be wonderful.
 
Sigh. Lucky for those that traded in the OG First Version Phat PS5 models for $410 back in late August. 😭

Count me in. Sold my OG back then for $410 credit. Still have midnight slim and now 30th slim.

Saw someone traded in the phat PS5 today and he was quoted in the $200 range with store credit. When they opened it, tons of dust came out of it from the inside. Literally chunks of dustbunnies. The guy claimed he never played it too. It was gross.

why the hell were they opening it?
 
Does GameStop randomly not allow in-store preorders for certain items?

I tried to go in-store to preorder the Cloud P2 amiibo reprint that's still available on the website so I didn't have to pay $7 shipping, but I was told it was unavailable.
 
Good news everyone! Just visited a couple gamestops today, seems they’re stocking the 30th anniversary dualsense in stores. YMMV of course, and no controller discounts unfortunately.

Generally it takes a while for amiibo to show up as being available for preorder in store. In my experience wait a week from when it showed up online.
 
This lack of deals is making us turn against each other, Gamestop where is my buy 4 $19.99 for $39.99?
Might as well not speak of Amazon, Best Buy, Target, or Gamestop digital in this thread. I may be dumb, but I'm caregiving. How about you? What have you contributed to the CAG community?

I literally used it yesterday so I doubt it lol

If you saved/wrote down the code somewhere, maybe try writing out the full code manually. Sometimes I've had to do that.
Thanks! Typed it in manually and it worked. I always screenshot it and then copy the text from the screenshot with Google lens, but it turned a zero into an "O" so that was the problem.
 
I was going to nab a game from GameStop and realized my (free) Pro expired a week ago.

The fact your points "naturally expire" is some real garbage-tier stuff. I remember when all transactions gave points and trades could give double. The fact you cannot spend what you already accrued during the Pro period is crazy. I will not be renewing (unless some sort of screw up gives it to me free again).

i only sign up every time they do those buy x get y and such sales that are pro only and the costs are more than the cost of a pro account. otherwise I'd never get one normally.

They didn't do one again this year back in October apparently so thus my sub is expired.
