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.

I can't find a trade in value for an item?
It might not be tradable or calling a store to find the value may be the only option.

How many copies of a game can I trade in?
You are allowed to trade in 4 copies of the same game (same system) within a rolling 30 day period.

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.

I’m not the op but I didn’t. I got 9185 pts for the purchase.

So $9. I totally forgot I’d get points.
I got 13,050, but I bought Bravely Default Remaster and some psn credit. I was just asking because when you do a trade in you don't get points on any of the transaction. It was a glitch from a while back where trade ins actually took points away and the way they fixed that was to just make trade in transactions not do anything with points at all. The one thing I don't know is if you get points if you spend above your trade in amount, or if no matter what you don't get points.

I have never gotten points on trade transactions, but paying with trade credit in a separate transaction does give points, it's very silly

Even just $1 in trade negates the whole transaction. Goofed that one up when buying the Spiderman PS5.

Looks like El Hoardo struck GameStop for Black Ops 6 lol. This is really sad to see so many flooded copies now...

I thought this would be OH and I was not wrong! A location literally said he came in and bought all the copies 12+! Every GameStop around was bought out of Black Ops 6. I checked the listing and was not disappointed! Wild to see this mentioned here. Reselling is very common, only in OHIO as the young kids might say.

Also this individual is a local Pokemon reseller as well which isn’t surprising.

Does anyone else have issues with trading in consoles to GameStop? Seems like every location I go to they claim that their system is down. And for "retro" stuff like a Wii, they claim they don't even have a proper way to test it. It is so ridiculous to have to deal with this at every location near me (I am in Charlotte). I'm not even sure why they have consoles listed on the website as trade eligible if they won't even honor their end of the deal.

I had this happen at one location and I came back at a different time when that employee wasn't there and they did it no problem. Some employees are just lazy I think

Yeah mine tried to say my switch lite had stick drift because they went to the calibration screen and said it wasnt in the center of the stick. And wouldnt take a wii remote becuase they couldnt test it. Said i had to drive an hour away
