My 3 copies of Deadly Premonition 2 all came complete with the original cases shockingly! These looks like they were converted from new to used as 2 of the copies still had the clearance yellow sticker on them.

I guess I will trade in my Forza 7 disc, since the Ultimate version is $19.99 until Sept. 15 on MS store.

Tried to trade in a few games for the +$5 and it looks like I might have received the rare and elusive perma-ban.

 

My last trade was on 1/2/21 but I'm still getting the "Exceeded Trade Limit" message after they put in my driver's license information (Nothing come up when they just put in my phone number at first). I've definitely made some flipping money from Gamestop over the years but I've always been careful not to get close to the limits.

 

I do admit I'll miss being able to easily dump games during these promos.

You are about the 3rd person to mention that they got banned. I am starting to think that Gamestop has changed their parameters for getting banned. Did you do 3 of the same games or go over $500 in a month?

Looking at my records, I did 2 of the same game at different stores and did go over $500 in trade credit in a month (but at that time around January, I believe the trade credit limit was $2000 so I was way under that and I never take cash).

My random theory: Once you've traded in the same game 50 times on a single account, your account gets perma-banned. That's the only indicator I can think of looking at my last datapoint.  :-#

LOL. Yea, that should probably get you permbanned.

How long does the $5 trade bump usually last? I don't think I'll be able to go today.

It's in the weekly ad so should be good for the week.

Nope. Might be good if your game is worth more than $25.

Or if you have a 3DS game to trade in. :-

So they changed the trade credit limit to $500 a month and only 2 of the same games?

I was just asking him if he went over a certain amount, we are not sure what Gamestop's new ban parameters are yet.

Just talked to Gamestop CS. LP is now checking if the ID matches someone that posts on CAG. Sorry Richard Soul Edge the 7th. They got you.

Is there no hope for Borderlands 3? Trades for exactly $5 should be eligible (but as others have mentioned:it's not) and I'm itching to get rid of that slogfest.

Nope, Gamestop clearly maintains a DB with eligible titles regardless of whether or not they meet the advertised dollar amounts. It's why you see titles that are under the minimum that get the $5 extra and those that meet it, like BL3, that don't get the extra.

if you can complain enough you can get a manual adjustment
really depends on how uptight they are

Weekly ad has Chivalry 2 for PC at $17.99 but it doesn't show up on the site. Sad, I'd have bought it at that price.

If anyone is making multiple stops today, Mario Rabbids is $9 pre-owned/$10 new and trades in for $12 + 10% PUR + $5. Some playstation greatest hits (Bloodborne, uncharted, LOU remastered) are also $5 base + $5, and I feel like these are on sale all of the time for $5 during the days of whatever sales. ACIII switch is also $12 base for those that got a free copy.

If you're picking up two copies of Mario Rabbids, you'll get 20% off both.

Anyone ever have trouble buying Xbox credit at GameStop using gift cards. I have done it multiple times including multiple times in the last few days. However I have another gift card and it will not go through. I get a “Oops. We can’t process your payment. Please select a different payment method or check your payment details including your billing address”. I get gift cards from various survey/health sites and apps and have done this multiple times and just yesterday got this. Literally used a different gift card hours before with no problems. Tried changing address and waiting 24 hours with no luck. Also used a different account and got the same error. Googled it and nobody seems to have a solution. Thought maybe someone here might know something.

Sell it. GameStop doesn't trade for it. I got one 2 years ago and sold it for $200. it may have gone down, but you will still be ahead.

This happens to me when I buy alot of cards. It'll take a few days before you can buy more.

Does the $5 code for renewing also work for xbox/psn/nintendo credit or is it just the monthly?

Yes. Just not in the same transaction as the monthly.

The birthday coupon for 20% off can be double dipped. Used it in store and can use it online as well. Not sure if it's been mentioned before.
