That's how most stores do this kind of promotion in my experience. Stores that do it a different way are usually the outliers. A lot of people on CAG abuse GS(myself included), but they frequently have the best trade promos of anyone around. Without them the trade/flip economy would be nothing. Also, getting rewarded on top of easy flipping/trading with PUR points/certs is a goldmine. If Bestbuy didn't have such a great system with GCU I'd use GS almost exclusively

Thing is, you would only be able to get these certs if you are a PUR member, so what they are essentially doing is reducing the actual value of your PUR discount benefit.  Shady shit

Yeah base price. So $25 * 1.4 = $35 is your total.

Yeah this is the reason I have no problem screwing over GameStop with flipping games to my benefit.  They screw you over with “GameStop” math.  Another example is if you have a $25 preowned cert from the rewards program, and lets say you want to buy a used game that is priced at $37, but with elite pro, it’s discounted to $30, you’d think you’d be paying $5 net, right?  ( $30 -$25 cert).  WRONG.  They take the $25 off the original price of $37, and then discount your 20% elite pro from the $12 difference ( which is only a little over $2).  So you end up paying $10. WTF is that bullshit.

so I encourage everyone to screw over gamestop every chance you get, cause they’ll find a way to screw your over every chance they get.

And you're any better for calling these people "douche bags"...

You must be one of them, huh.... your feelings hurt?  Wait, let me use a meme cause that puts more weight in my comment. Lol.  

Look at all the people defending GameStop with their trade ins.  Douche bags defending a big corporation that likes to screw over customers and employees.

Never heard of the site.....scam?
