Has anyone traded in Ratchet for the Guaranteed to Love promo today? My in-store receipt actually says they only give back $59.99, which I’m guessing is old habit. I screenshotted the app saying $69.99 the other day, but now the promo isn’t showing on the app at all.
I did yesterday, got the full $69.99. My receipt also said $59.99 under that section.

I was able to get full price too. The employee ran it as a return though. I beat the whole game in like 10 hours. Figured there was no need to keep it. It'll be a PS+ game in 2 years.Has anyone traded in Ratchet for the Guaranteed to Love promo today? My in-store receipt actually says they only give back $59.99, which I’m guessing is old habit.

Well, that kind of defeats the purpose of the G2L if they ran it as a return. At least you got your money back and not credit.

Same for me. Had the time to plow through it Friday/Saturday so I did. Great game but I wouldn't want to actually drop $70 on it.

We'll be lucky if Gears isn't dead by morning since everyone is posting about it.
I didn't see anyone mention it here and this is far from the first time a flip to Gamestop was posted on the internet. Back in 2004-5 there were legit free games at Best Buy (after coupon) that were prime flips to Gamestop for months.

Slickdeals. Also the Gamestop people 100% read these forums now.
We aren't slickdeals and slickdeals is a tiny percentage of the internet.
And Gamestop people have been reading these forums since at least 2004, they've even had an official rep posting here at one point.

Wow so I just got around to testing one of my Xenoblade Chronicles 2 I ordered a couple weeks back and it had a weird scratch on the corner of the label. Should’ve thought to at least test it when I first got it, and apparently it’s Sonic Mania with a XC2 sticker on it. GameStop still doesn’t fail to disappoint!
That sucks. One easy way to check if it was just a label swap is to look at the label code and see if it matches the code on the back of the cart. It's the five letters before "USA" that need to be the same. Happened to me with Mario Party being swapped with that awful Troll game. I do that for every used Switch game I get. The employees are supposed to check to make sure the code matches during trade-in but...
This is the way

I would argue that slickdeals is certainly more used then this site in general. But it’s very unlikely someone from GameStop is watching any forums to look for exploiting glitches to jump on and stomp. It’s much more likely they have a mediocre program that watches the online transactions and assigns someone to look at whatever the computer flags as a potential issue.
The more surprising thing is that people do these flips for $5-10 store credit per game, to a maximum of however many trades of the same copy per account without being trade banned. Taking home a salary of $34 an hour while working AT home means I can literally take a nap or 
off on these forums, and I don't really get paid that much for IT.
Agreed that the poster pre-order bonuses suck. It'd be nice to have something interesting be included, but I suppose the manufacturing costs on small posters are negligible for a recovering GS.

It never surprises me that people on a deal website whose tagline is "Never pay full price for your game!" are always shocked that people walking a couple of minutes in a mall between two stores to flip $15 into $45 with zero effort don't like leaving money on the table.

Gonna try my first price match in store. Best Buy near me has Yakuza LAD for $30, I just show the in stock online screen to the clerk right? Or is it not that simple?
You need to make sure the screen shows your local location has it in stock.
