TRU Gift Card question

Hey,

I purchased four copies of Call of Duty: Black Ops back at launch for me and three friends. The promotion at the time gave $25 each copy of the game and netted me a $100 gift card. The card expires at the end of this month. I was hoping to use the credit to pre-purchase a Nintendo 3DS whenever it releases in March, but TRU hasn't started taking pre-sells yet and I fear they may not until after my card has expired.

So, is it possible for me to buy some games with a total value of over $100 and then return them to get credit placed on a new gift card? I'm hoping someone here has tried something similar in the past and can enlighten me.

Thanks!

The OP's idea will work, in theory, though the store may look at you a little funny if you try this. Completely OK in theory, and should work in practice.

They will let you do it.

I do it all the time wiht my TRU "expiring" gift cards.
 
I also saw on another site that promotional materials for pre-selling 3DS has been seen at certain stores. Looks like I may not have to go through the buy/return process after all. :)

Edit: Here's the link in case anyone was wondering.
