I remember a while back I read something about being able to use the monthly $5 coupon both online and in-store in some manner, does anyone know if that still works and if so what's the process?


You can use it online by typing the code in under Promo Codes. However, good luck as it only works on maybe 15 percent of items and is a real pain.

Gamestop site says new dualsense colors are out today but my store had no idea when they’d get them. Anyone have any luck?

So there is a banner for differing value gift cards for spending certain amounts on pre-owned games $19.99 and up. I have sackboy and mario tennis in my cart, both are on sale. It is using the pre-sale prices and put a $30 gc in the cart as well which should be for $100 and up but the sub-total is only $81. What is the likelihood that the $30 gc would be honored?

Does anyone know if FF7 Intergrade PS5 is going to be a G2L item? Are they even still doing G2L for many titles?

I was in store today to preorder a copy and asked. He checked and said “no” it’s not G2L, the only current one is ratchet and clank. And to clarify, G2L is not a return, it’s a trade in. You’d get store credit, not your money back.

That said, as far as I know GameStop preorder bonuses are not required to be returned when returning the game. So you should place the pre-order, pick up the game on release and then just return the game unopened a week later like I’m planning to do.

It’s not going to be a pro-rated return like at Best Buy, I’d be more concerned about them simply not having many steel books to hand out.

I pre-ordered the new dualsense colors on Amazon and it says they release on June 18th.

Yea I ordered them on Amazon too, but if I could get them earlier.. as in today, I would get them from GameStop and cancelled my Amazon

 

But I would guess GameStop would get theirs at the same time, june 18th as the rest of the retailers are the same date

Most are worthless.  The only ones worth real money were rare back then and are in pristine condition

Pristine yes, rare not really. There are quite a number of cards valued in the 3-4 figures now, and that can be a nice chunk of change. People just never kept the old ones in mint condition, which is why they command a premium, but none of them are very rare.

I would say you are 100% sure to get the $30 gift card being valid. Gift card calculations are being wonky at best. Had a few preowned that just wouldn't give any gift cards even though they were $55, and I had $110 in preowned that was only giving $20. Looks like you found the rare combo that works into your favor.

Just got the Fallen Legions and Gravity rush. Both the Fallen Legions came sealed and the Gravity Rush is in amazing condition just might need to swap the case out or use some goo gone to remove the sticker residue. Hope everyone has the same luck!

I'm assuming this doesn't work but just curious if anyone's tried.

 

Based on the previous poster saying Mario Tennis & Sackboy adds a $30 GC to the order, when I removed one of the games, the GC stayed behind. It was there all the way up through the payment screen.

 

Has anyone tried checking out with just the one game to see if the GC is actually sent?

 

Edit: seems like the GC only stays around in the cart if you keep Sackboy. Cart quantities update correctly in other scenarios I tried.

Received my 2 Fallen Legions.  The PS4 one was sealed, the Switch was opened.  For an extra slap in the face, they put the super sticky sticker on the case so i will need some goo-gone to remove it.  I am still waiting on Gravity Rush.

 

For the guy who freaked out at people buying Fallen Legion - dont let your blood pressure rise over this.  I bought one copy for each system.  Hope thats ok with you haha.

This is nice 👍🏼 I’ve been wanting to play Sackboy, and it’s essentially $15.

Edit- My cart showed $30 GC with just Sackboy, but once I placed the order, the GC dropped to $10.

Did you take the purchase to completion? And the GC was delivered to you?

Anyone else get an email from Xbox that you can trade in your Xbox One S for $185 gamestop credit or $100 cash?

Nope...and online the 1 TB S trades for $125, which is low in comparison to the other consoles.   Sometimes it has even been as low as $110.

i got an email that my xbox one x is worth $260 trade credit or $160 cash with a special one time use code. The $160 cash seems to be the normal cash value while the $260 trade credit is $60 more than what they are currently offering everyone else.

Email titled "Turn your old Xbox One S into $$$! Claim up to $185 in trade-in value now!*" It says that because I have a next gen console (Series S) I'm eligible for this trade in offer. I was wondering what the regular trade in rate was going for but my GS app wasn't working so thank you inkcil

I've encountered something strange on the GS site. This may have happened to others here and I'm just not remembering it. I have the V2 monthly cert and found a game I want for $5 ($4.99 for technicality). When I add it to my cart the monthly cert isn't being applied. I noticed it is being applied to digital gift cards (psn, xbox, and eshop) and digital games. Has anyone else run into this in the past or maybe even recently?

It has been a few months since I was last able to use my coupon on a $4.99 item.

Yikes, that's not good. I was trying to find a cheap filler to add and came up empty. I find it funny/strange that it's working on digital items though.

 

Edit: Tried adding a cheap filler and no dice. Maybe they killed it from being used on anything less than exactly $5.

Neat... now if we could only check out for a digital currency purchase with coupon @ $0 w/o a credit card! heh (used my in-store coupons already... just need to use it online now!)

No kidding about having to use a credit/debit card to "purchase" digital currency for $0, lol. I don't know why companies started doing this. Can't even download a free mobile app or game or add currency (Google Play or Apple) w/o having a card on file.

 

I guess I'll head to a store tomorrow and use it there first and then use it for a cheap item online.

C'mon, there's no reason that shouldn't have gone in the veterans thread. GS loses money when people use their coupons on digital currency, but it's worth it for them to get people into their stores - it's obviously not supposed to work online. You might as well have posted it on Twitter.

There's another perk for Pros someone may be able to figure out and totally not post it in a public forum.

Chatter about double dipping and using the monthly coupon both in-store and online has been going on for a while now. I only mentioned the odd quirk of it being applied to digital currency/items online because it's not supposed to happen (even in-store for that matter).

 

Didn't know posting about a weird issue I encountered would ruffle anyone's feathers so to speak.
