Just want to verify. I used a b2g1 pre owned coupon today. I asked to use the 20% bday coupon and was told it would not work. He said it would take the 20% off the cheapest item (the free one) and didn't want to waste my coupon. I didn't press the issue. What he said made sense I just want to verify if he was right.


If you were buying 3 games that cost the same amount initially, then this would be partially correct. It would make one game cheaper than the other two, and then that game would become the free one.

It works when you buy one game that costs more. It takes the 20% off the most expensive one and even if it becomes the cheapest you still save money.

From my experience, it takes 20% off the most expensive game. Either way, no coupon would have been wasted by just trying.

In one way, they were right and you're right.  First, they take the 20% off the most expensive game.  If the discounted game is less than the other two, the B2G1 will make the discounted one the free game, thus rendering the coupon useless especially if all of the games you chose are the same price.

It was three copies of watch dogs (one xbone 2 360, all the same price). After his explanation I asked him to try it but he kept saying it wouldn't work and didn't want to "waste" my coupon. I chose not to press the matter because this is my main store, the closest to my work.

I wish I was kidding, but when one guy came in to trade his PS3 earlier this year, he had some videos left on the XMB. I didn't stop to play one lest I risk my job, but I could tell that intro warning from a mile away.

The bonus toward anything at  E3 ? can anyone tell me what exactly that includes? It doesn't really say on Gamestops site at all.

Has anyone ever tried to stack a $25 off preowned console coupon with the $50, $25, $10, and $5 off any GS item coupons?

 

I know it won't work with the coupon glitch (i.e. I won't get to keep the $25 off preowned console coupon), but I would like to get the maximum possible off a Wii U.

 

Normally I would just buy a new one, but they're giving a free 1 yr replacement plan with any preowned console right now.

Most stores will scan the barcode for any game that was featured at E3 since stores are being pushed for preorders currently.

When I asked at my store, the employee said it was anything that was featured "on-stage" or during one of the conferences.

I don't know about that but if you're talking about saving money and you're in a state that doesn't charge tax on credit, why not just use the glitch with trading in and buying a ps4 a couple times and return the ps4 in the end THEN use the preowned console coupon (or get more $ off coupons) on the wii u. It'd help you rack up PUR points (about 20,000 points if I did my math right).

Maybe not, but if you have an especially well trained Jr. Detective, it still might cause a problem. I used a birthday coupon once in a Gamestop pretty far from my house once. A few months later a guy I didn't recognize told me I couldn't use the birthday coupon when I tried to use it at another store. He told me he saw me use it at the farther away store and that I couldn't use it twice. I told him "Good work. Ever though about getting into the PI business, Jr. Detective?" He wasn't amused.

Does Gamestop have the new Kirby game or Wooly Yoshi in the system to preorder?  I do not see either listed online yet.

Is that still going on?  When does that end?  Hmm....

Looks like my local store is doing the 50% bonus this weekend for games.  Does anyone know if this will work with accessories as well?

Is there anyway to get this link put into the OP?  Every week someone is looking for it (me included sometimes), and it's always a pain to find.

Some of the stores aren't displaying on the search list; if you have a gamestop outside a walmart just call the store and ask

I don't think so.  That 50% promo is only for consoles traded in for PS4/X1 and 10% PUR bonus doesn't apply to console trade ins.

 

EDIT: .....unless you're referring to the selected store weekend 50%, then yes, 60% for games and accessories.
