Is that GS store in a slow area? I don't think many in metropolitan areas would have the time to do that. You also said the data coverage in that area was garbage, which implies rural area.

Suburban shopping center on Long Island. Supposedly one of the busiest GSs in the area. Data is shit due to congestion, I assume.

I think they had the time in part because it was a Monday afternoon.

 What a bro, wish I could take a survey for him.

 

You can still do a survey without a receipt and fill in as much detail as you can hoping that their DL will see:

Has anyone tried trading towards Deathloop and can confirm the 30% bonus is applying?

Didn't get his name so it won't do any good. Not used to asking for it because it's always on the receipt. :bouncy:

Anyone else get a wacky e-mail titled TBD from power up rewards with a bunch of text stating “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet“?  That’s placeholder gibberish text that’s not supposed to go out.  Keep being you GameStop.

I got it. Took me a few to realize it wasn't a spam/junk email.

It's actually the special incantation to reverse GS trade bans. They weren't supposed to leak it

I’ll admit I tried reading the GameStop text backwards, didn’t help, still gibberish.  Apparently it’s a common placeholder to test text and page formatting, but sure sounds like a demonic incantation repeated across the page like that.  Wonder how many millions of people that went out too.  We should all start roaming the streets chanting and scrawling it in red on gamestop walls, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet“.  Could be the largest documented case of mass incantation on record!  Might help explain their wacky increase in market cap this year too.

Can I use the birthday $5 gift card and the $5 PUR monthly coupon in the same transaction?

They're the same denomination, so likely not.

 

EDIT: Sorry, I forgot that first $5 was for a GC, which should work as a normal payment method combined with the $5 coupon.

I'm going to say yes, since the birthday offer is a legit gc with a pin, not a promo certificate.

 

I actually got the $5 bd gc by email on one account.  gc sent by email this morning. not in active offers. 9/30 expiration

Edit:  Can confirm.  Covered a $10 steam card today instore with monthly $5 + $5 bd gc in one trransaction.

I can also confirm that the $5 montly and the 20% preowned (bday ebc code) stack on one item online.  Although the amount of the 20% discount is determined after the $5 is deducted.

Wait, what? I got a $5 eGC for my birthday and I thought GS stopped giving out the 20% discount?

It varies by account.  No idea what in particular determines which you receive.  My active pro account received a $5 gc this morning.
 

I have a couple of old accounts created during summer 2017 for.. reasons.. that I haven't used for years.  Those accounts are expired elite got 20% preowned coupons emailed this afternoon.

They generally have the same value. But within the first 30 days of release, some games like Madden have a guaranteed $30 value. No bonus on top of that. Store credit only.

Any thoughts/predictions on when the next B2G1 sale will occur? Finally managed to score a PS5 a month or so ago, and need some games for it (not saying there's a lot of options currently, but R&C and Returnal would be a good start). Think we're on hold until closer to BF, or does someone have any historical data to prove there should be one sooner than that?

I doubt we get another B2G1 before the usual one on BF.

Perhaps a Labor Day/Columbus Day/veterans day sale. It’s been a while since we had a pro day too.
