So I went to return a game at GameStop and it's already been 3 days and it still has not shown up on my credit card.
Looking at the receipt, the cashier seems to have put in gift card. But I swiped my credit card and supposedly it went through on their system but I haven't received anything.
What is with this company?! I don't trust them at all. How can I even prove that I never received the credit?!

Patience. Also, if you inserted your credit card and it said approved on the screen, then it's going back to your card. Post a picture of your receipt because if what I just said happened and you're seeing it refunded to a gift card, something isn't adding up.

Question about the delay in refund was already answered. To address your other question:
Most of the things wrong with the company are countermeasures taken for survivability against all the flipper scum. The GS customers who make the most transactions are unscrupulous scoundrels whose behavior forces GS to change their policies. For example, my gf and I have copies of the same game; I brought mine for a trade in during the 50% bonus because it was sealed and I hadn't played it, and the store manager told me they can't accept sealed games because people steal games from other stores to bring there directly for trades.
Whenever I post that hot take, someone screeches about corporate sympathizing. But it's fact that people reap what they sow when they face obstacles after exploiting the system.

I just don't trust them. I've had way too many missing games / empty cases sent to in the past few weeks.

Probably a good reminder now to always check your receipt when checking out and/or returning. Also sorry if you got screwed on the return but I'd definitely wait until early next week.
I've been shorted on trades (i.e. they didn't scan everything), I've had employees add game protection plans without asking, I've bought games in store and they didn't put the game in the case, I've given the employee my ID for trades and they forgot to give it back, etc.
Best to double check that everything is right before even leaving the store. Seems like a bit much, but it's a minor inconvenience compared to driving home or wherever, and possibly having to explain it to another employee and have them not believe you (or even the same employee and they've already forgot).

I don't suppose they price match online orders after the fact? I ordered NBA 2k22 yesterday for $33 and now it's $23.
just return it if they don't

If anyone visits a Gamestop today, can you verify whether the B2G1 is still active to match the "new" promo that started yesterday?

B2G1 is still active and works with price matching.

Definitely used up all my positive GS karma on these retro games (2x Colosseum + Melee - but no manuals... and the free games from the B2G1 awaiting product availability.... ) And as an added bonus... the cyberpunk controller came with the correct battery cover!

Did you get the actual game disc in the bonus disc's case? The Bonus Disc is mainly for getting Jirachi in the GBA games and patching a small fix with the clock stuff.
