GS FAQ

Where is the weekly ad?

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.

Also seeing $25 extra for ps5, series s, series x consoles. So that would mean series S gets like $270+ I think

Where are you seeing this? Was gonna pull the trigger trading in the X. Max I see is $412 with pro, so does that mean I would get $437 for the X?

click on "deals" on the top of the page.

anybody trade in yet to confirm the 40% extra towards switch 2 stuff is working?
 
Hoping I can find some decent games for the 4 for 10/40.
Will $5 cert just take off $5? So $10 to $5 or $40 to $35?
 
extra 50% worked perfect with a donkey kong preorder, highlights for me were getting $45 for final fantasy collection (from woot) and $24 for star wars outlaws (pretty sure this was $8 base last week) slim pickings for the 4 for $40 in store, ill have to go check out the gamestop in the old funcoland building, it has alot more games than these newer strip mall locations.

semi awkward encounter trading in pacific drive, guy asked me how it was and I never got around to playing it after getting it for $10 at walmart. i just told him it had some great survival type gameplay. planning on picking it up digitally because it looks interesting.

from walmart? yeah but it was quite a while ago. i got a bunch of $10 games from them in store, alone in the dark, avatar, persona 5 tactica. if you read the walmart ymmv thread here you can see all the games but they are probably long gone by now.
 
Alright, so I'm a dumbass.

Went to pay and had 8 games.
4x for the 4 for $40, that worked.
4x $10 games, I had a brainfart and thought it was 4 for 20...

Bad news is I used 2 $5 certs, but they applied to one of the 4/40 games.
Safe to say I can return the 4 $10 games and not effect the 2x $5 certs right?

Thanks. Very odd that wouldn't be on the trades page. Good ole gamestop making things difficult.

i didn't get why they started a 20% extra towards switch 2 games and a 40% extra towards switch 2 games and accessories at the same time either. i guess the 40% is probably just for this week and the 20% isn't really a new promo at all, just highlights switch 2 games over everything else.

Just out of curiosity, did you have to pay the full amount for the pre-order, or was a deposit enough to qualify for the extra 50%
 
Almost got denied a return.

Bought 8 games.
4 for 4x40 promo and 4 regular price.
$10 cert was applied to 4x40 game.

Was told I couldn't return the 4 regular priced games since it was part of promo. Needed to return all 8.

After some back and forth, they allowed return of the 4 games. They were at regular price and cert thankfully didn't apply to any of them.

Imagine preordering a Switch 2 and then the store closes two weeks later. What a shit show lol

Whoever preordered at the Paramount at Del Amo store lucked out since the Lakewood Center Mall store is less than 2 miles away, so I imagine it'll just get transferred over to there. But for others who aren't so lucky, yeah it sucks big time.

Butchering all of NORC sucks big time.
 
Went through my shelves and found I had some surprise high values. Ape Escape 3 base $15, Godzilla STE $22, God Hand bringing $41 made me go look at eBay and see it's listing for ~$115. My total list minus GH is 35 games for $192(Rock Band 2 for a quarter out of spite). I can just put down for a switch 2 game and get the bump on everything, right? I want City of the Wolves but can wait for the inevitable drop. I would throw the whole ~$250 towards a Switch 2 but I don't expect to get one for a while. I'll let them give me 60 for God Hand for a console.

I'm glad I didn't do the 420 deal with my Series X, that price hike made me exhale.

Correct, you can just put $5 down and that will trigger the promo.
