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.

Are there trade limits?
Yes, $500 cash minus some electronic trade ins and or $2000 trade credit in 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.

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.

GS raised the price of one of the plushies I've been waiting for my monthly $5 coupon to use on...from $31.99 to $39.99...PLUS, found out GS no longer price match due to insider abuse, not by customers...but by EMPLOYEES...WTAF is a "Pro" membership even good for anymore...? 2025 is the last £UCKING straw!

The trick is to get someone to enter their credit card number on your account. Free Pro membership!

(To whoever in the universe who did this for me, thanks, but I can't tell you the last time I actually bought something at GS.)
 
I asked an associate for a printed out list of $19.99 PS4 games (for 4/$40) and they said the system doesn't allow them to sort by price anymore. They could only do a printout with every PS4 game available with the SKU, but no pricing info. Is this true?

A lot of these locations scored bad on Google Reviews so it's no surprise for the closures

2212 stores remaining after this weekend in US. I'm guessing it will continue to be 20-30 stores closing each month for the rest of the year as leases expire. Unless they have another large wave like January at some point.
 
How did you guys get the trade boost for consoles when pre-ordering? I was trying to get the 40% boost towards DK bananaza with a xbox series x trade in but it doesnt look like it took.
Oh well, I got the $25 boost this week so it isn't that baf
