I just got a review email from GameStop asking:
“How are you liking the Shipping / Service Charge you recently purchased?”
Obviously 5 stars. It’s the best shipping / service charge I’ve ever had.

If you're referring to MS points, once redeemed to your MS account, I think you only have three months to use them or they'll expire. They used to just sit in your account but it changed to three months a few years ago.


MS Rewards points redeemed for gift cards expire after 90 days, but gift cards bought with real money (or GameStop credit in this case) never expire once added to an account.

Speaking for Xbox, you can add them and accumulate a balance on your Microsoft account (to save up for something big), but they'll be individual codes you need to redeem. So if you're planning to give a friend a $25 gift card for the holidays, let's say... You'll have to give them five $5 codes.

so could I purchase xbox codes, add them to my microsoft account and apply them to my halo series x purchase thus bringing down the cost?

The 50% bonus is still active, but the lowered values visible online are most likely in effect now.

If anyone else happened to choose same day shipping for their Animal Crossing order from last weekend, you ain't getting Animal Crossing, but I was at least compensated with 15,000 points after contacting them. Yay?

Data point: Just did a trade and looks like although some values seemed to have lowered online again from yesterday, I still got the higher trade in value from a couple of days ago.

Animal Crossing (Switch) is showing $21 base, but I got the $27 base in-store.

Yes.  If you're buying the console from the Microsoft store, you can use credit just the same as you'd use it to buy digital games on the Xbox Marketplace.  And whether you're buying the codes with your coupons or your GS trade credit, once its added to your Microsoft account it'll never expire.

Has anyone picked up COD today? It's not G2L, correct? have a $50 certificate that was erroneously redeemed and I figured I'd just convert a G2L game to credit

Can confirm, the higher trade values are still in the system. Just got back and traded in COD Cold War (PS4) for $35 after 60%. Also got Jedi Fallen Order for $10 after my monthly coupon.

Anyone try any others like Mario Kart 8 (asking for a friend)?

COD is confirmed g2l, just waiting to see if the codes are different for ps4/ps5 and x1/xsx.

Is the bonus, double the value? COD shows right now for $17 base

The bonus is 50% extra, but the TIV is whatever the value was through Wednesday of this week; you'll have to either go to a store yourself or call one to ask for a TIV lookup in order to know the "true" TIV.

 

"$35 after 60%" likely means Cold War currently has a $22 base ($22 + $11 + $2.20 = $35.20).

Bingo. I couldn't make it to GS yesterday, so I was pleased to see the values from earlier in the week we're still active in the system. If you have games to trade I would do it by today's end. The 50% ends Sunday. Between the trade 4+ games for 50% (From last month) and this current 50% trade in boost, I think GS is stocked for Black Friday and the holidays. Remember this isn't the GameStop of old where we would get boosted TIV at the end of the month and a 50% boost every 2 months. Things are drastically different. Take advantage of these promos and values while you can still get good profitability.

Xbox Series X code was 3067637... I believe, the receipt is missing a small part of the far left print so the first number/symbol could be 3, 8, or even a B I guess.

That's the same code I got for the PS5 version.

Another confirmation that TIVs are still the old values. $32 dollars for Scarlet Nexus which I bought from GS for $30. Can't beat being actually paid to play a game.

Has anyone traded any systems this week?  Curious if the original PS4 is still trading for over $200

Saw a few people returning COD vanguard already and couldn’t tell if they actually disliked it or are taking advantage of G2L, lol.

Also can confirm the old TIV are still going, got rid of Switch dragons dogma and Zombie army for $16 and $22.40
