Traded in some games today. Got like $54. Came home to cash it in for various credits (steam, psn, etc.). First $20 purchase went through and now it errors on every one and they tell me to contact customer care. What the hell? Is this like a temporary hold and it'll work tomorrow? Anyone have any ideas?

try it with a different IP

if it doesnt go through wait at least a week

The extra 50% wasn't still on was it? Last week the guy at mine said it was when I went in to do some preorders, so I am curious. 

Nope, no promos listed on the website and none were given to me in store.

 

 

 

And oh god, wait a whole week?

[Vinny]

So I pre-ordered Like a Dragon Ishin and got 3 emails that my order shipped... but there's not racking number and my order status page just says "awaiting stock". Is GS just going through around round of glitches?

Buy it in store next time, the website is beyond shit.

[Das_Regal]

Well, I got a new error that says you can't use gamestop credit to buy steam wallet cards...even though I just did earlier today. And now it's back to the general error.

Been MIA….. how long has the monthly double dip not been working?

Less than a month to a month? Stuff got changed for no $5 eShop/Xbox codes at al in January, then like a week ago the coupon stopped working on digital currency online.

[CaptainButtlord]

I’ve been sick for like a week but had to chance to finish Dead Space. Is there a trade in promo for games right now? Looking to trade it in for Resident Evil 4.

Trading towards Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe yesterday triggered the 20% bonus (30% total bonus w/ Pro) on games.

My local store has them in either $20 or $50 physical cards.

I found a local copy of Links Awakening, Guy said he wouldn't price match because the game wasn't in stock online. Never heard that before.

[izembo]

All price matching requires in stock, that's normal for most places.

[Freeze Time]

So when you went to the GameStop website and looked for a used copy of Link's Awakening, it said that all stores in your area didn't have it in stock when in fact you were standing in the store and they had a used copy in stock?

[Confucius]

Not really. If it’s a stores own website, that’s really stupid not to price match.

[Thrillh0]

I never heard that either. The very fact that you went into the store and found the game is proof that the website is not reliable. Otherwise you would have been able to do the 'buy online pick up in store' in option through the website at the advertised price. No price match would have even been necessary.

Yeah, he said it had to be in stock. I said "it is in stock, it's in my hand", but I just got the shrug. I've been able to PM online prices with clearance games that were OOS online at my local store these past couple months, but was out of town this time and I only wanted it to burn my $5 and flip it. So not really worth the struggle.

wants it for himself 100%

Would the double dip count towards digital codes/dlc for games online?

[Macedon911]

Is it possible that GameStop really puts used games as new? I know we say they are gutted and whatnot, and that they open the cases but the discs are not used. However, I just came to this crazy realization today after seeing a copy of DNF Duel that I think I traded in... Hear me out.

A few months ago when they had DNF Duel for $5 used on PS5, I was able to snag a copy and trade it in to another GameStop for over $20. The next day I went to rebuy it because (being a CAG) I was going to trade it back in to another GameStop. However, it was sold out and they had a single new copy. Here's the crazy thing, I remember browsing the GameStop and they never had a new copy the day before. There is no way in hell that they get one new copy and the used copy sold out within 24 hours.

I can't believe it took me months to realize this. How does the GameStop system work, is it really possible to convert the used game to new like I'm imagining it happened?

You must've missed the memo. Nothing digital works, physical items only.

Do Pokemon cards not work either? I had some in stock that I wanted but it won't apply.

Which item are you looking at exactly? From what I've read in the previous pages, digital doesn't work but I'm not aware of any other restrictions. Still needs to be $5.01 or higher.

they get shipments of "new" games from warehouse sometimes. stores have infinite used pristine copies of gta v because it still sells so damn well
the employees themselves can sign out games to take home to play also

 

selling gutted games is already ultimate grey area, so dont put anything past them.

unless its sealed just assume the worst and dont buy it if it bothers you

I tried this one Pokemon Trading Card Game: Crown Zenith Mini Tin (Assortment) | GameStop and the checkout page says it has been applied. Weird.

 

I have NOT double dipped yet though.
