I got 5 paper gift cards from that 15% off GS GC promo on eBay. Converted it to a physical GC at one GameStop and used it to buy eBay at another store. I used that digital site to buy them since they didn't have physical cards.

It was interesting. If you use it, know that you have to create a separate account. I spent 5 minutes trying to log into my regular account lol.

 

[Moxieman]

Any other trade in specials than Lego right now? Any rumblings of a 50% promo coming soon ?

There is a 20% bonus on The Division Season Pass and also The Division Underground Expansion. The Division Underground for PS4 is the only way to trade in for a preorder instead of a regular sale, because the xbox expansion is out already. Coincidentaly, the expansion on PS4 also doesn't ring up 20% bonus automatically and they don't have code to make it work like the b2g1. I sat at the store for 40 minutes while they were on hold with the store help line only for them to say its supposed to work but it doesn't.

They have to manually adjust each game or accessory, and that reflects badly on them.

Best to just buy Lego Star Wars and return it like during the Doom/Uncharted promo.

 

[2014CAGnewbie]

Picked up Samurai Warriors 4 Empires , RB6 Siege , RB6 Siege :XB1: and $50 of ebay for $97.68.

Walked across the parking lot and traded all 3 games to BB for $53.90.  

It's nice to have some BB credit back after spending it all on a TV.

Isn't ebay 10% selling fee for everything?

Two words, eBay Store

 

[Bobby's World]

Two words, eBay Store

2 words: rip off

3 more words: not worth it

 

[dav2sil]

Two words, eBay Store

Two words, subscription fee.

Alot more words, unless you plan on selling consoles amongst other things continously on ebay, it is pointless to set up a store front.

Was at a GS when I went out for dinner and I tried buying an eBay GC and when I swiped my GC, the guy said that a message popped up saying must use cash or credit. He tried swiping the GC multiple times and wouldn't go through.

wow, i guess they finally got off their lazy asses and programmed it in, ive cashed out long ago, but this will definitely slow down future trades to gamestop as the credit movers to best buy and amazon are fewer and far between.

Got my paper GC too. Hopefully will use it toward a Chipotle GC, I'm all in on their rewards program

Did you actually see the message?

I'm only slightly skeptical considering how much some GS employees lie.

I really doubt they would make a POS change on a Saturday especially on a three day weekend.

What digital site? at the store?

 

[dav2sil]

False alarm guys, just bought $480 in eBay and $20 IHOP with a GS gift card 5 minutes ago. Had me scared for a bit.


I live in Virginia, if that makes a difference.

 

[Miami Flash15]

I'm not stating it's now nation wide, but that's the message the guy was giving me.

He didn't even see me swipe a gift card or what I was paying with until he noticed an error. I'll try another one, but that was my experience. Maybe he was bs'ing me

 

[srehmat02]

2 words: rip off
3 more words: not worth it

I agree that ebay fees in general are too high but I sell enough on ebay where I make a higher net profit per month paying for an eBay Store than not.

 

[Nick51705]

What digital site? at the store?

It was from Cardpool, which was the company that was buying the gift cards people were trading in at GameStop.

 

[Nightcrawler13]

I just used my trade card to get a $250 eBay GC. Nothing changing here in Houston.

Were you sitting sidewayz in your slab with the hands on the woodgrain and sippin lean?

 

[lakers714]

FinallyI found a store with an Ebay Giftcard, they did say that Visas are out. I loaded about $200 to it from one card ,now I got to offload the rest of my gamestop credit on another visit 

 

[frosty47]

Hyrule Warriors Legends got bumped overnight

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QHes9WjTbQvu-uB5Bkp_cwrKtJtZiqANFr_RfwvzkYs/edit#gid=301403700

Best Buy dropped the TIV of Lego Marvel's Avengers from $10 to $1 at some point today.

Thanks to your list blackbeard I was able to generate some points (fuel discount points among other things) and move GameStop credit to Best Buy. Which I then used to buy an ebay gift card in-store at Best Buy. Which I will then use to make a very important purchase in someone special's life.

What are the best GS to BB movers with the B2G1 sale going on? Already did three each of Far Cry Primal for PS4 and X1 and Zelda Triforce Heroes for 3DS, but still have $111.xx to move over to BB. Looking at the Samurai Warriors game or whatever it's called but none are located near me and with my luck BB would tank the TiV before it got shipped here

Also found it weird that one of the copies of Triforce Heroes I got from GS to flip to BB was a Saudi Arabian copy...

Look at Blackbeard's spreadsheet.

 

[JustCuriousity]

So looking at the Cartwheel for July 3-July 9 there are some possible target to GS. 50% off Just Dance xbox 1 and RS Siege (Price matched at Amazon for just dance and BB for siege) Also 40% off AC Syndicate plus a price match from Amazon. If you have a Red Card  (or even a team member discount) this isn't bad for some credit at GS. 

 

[ajh2298]

Take this with a big huge grain of salt but I was told by my local GS CSR that they will be doing no bonus on trading in your older model XB1's towards the newer slim models. 

 

[elitewillie]

That would suck. I'm hoping to trade in my 2 olds for 2 slims since I just got new HDR TVs. I bet if the S doesn't sell well Microsoft will persuade Gamestop to start doing some trades.

 

[dav2sil]

They may not do it for the slim in august since it's the limited 2tb run, but I'm sure they will come December when the 500 and 1tb are released.

 

[Kyle1022]

Look at Blackbeard's spreadsheet.

I did, didn't find anything realistic though where the games are similarly priced and stores near me have all three games :/

 

[Gjallarhorn]

I was told by a manager. There would be a bonus end of July to beginning of August. They all probably say random stuff with no evidence.

I don't think any store employee knows what promos are coming up that aren't public knowledge. Everything they speculate is just an opinion and likely to be BS.

 

[YawnAmuroYawn]

The marketing department isnt very good about telling the retail side wtf is going on outside of a mass email the morning of.

 

[ZeroGame]

FYI today the associate wouldn't scan my $$$ coupon from my phone. She said "it will scan easier if I do off my tablet" (doesn't make THAT much sense. But it is an easy way to make sure the coupon is yours.

Lmao I wonder if she was actually suspicious or if she needs to use the tablet for some weird store goal.

They get some kind of goal bonus just by pulling up your account on those tablets. Theyve started using them at all the stores near me.

when 75% of the employees dont even know what the current promos are, how could anyone trust what they say about future promos?

 

[YellowGameboyColor]

Those tablet people are so annoying man, I understand it's their job to make sure customers aren't left alone and make sure they're always aware of their coupons but shit, leave me alone!!! Lemme find my games in peace

If I did my maths correct....Price matching Assasins Creed Syndicate for XB1 would be 17.99 with the 40% off cartwheel coupon it would take off i believe 7.19 which means out of pocket would be 10.80 without tax and trades in to GS for 16.50 for Pro

Also! Price matching Just dance 2016 on XB1 for 13.85 with the 50% off which takes off 6.92 making out of pocket 6.93 before tax and 13.20 trade in for Gs

YMMV but im going to try after im off work to see if everything works out well..will post results.

Glad I had a dead shift today to do all this lol also huge shoutout to JustCuriosity for the FYI

Yeah yesterday I went into a store that I rarely frequent, and some dude followed me around trying to see if I had any coupons on his stupid tablet. I had to explain to him that I can't combine the $ off coupons with the B2G1 because all three were the same price and it would have wasted the coupon. When the damn employees are on the same level as CAG newbies, you know something's really wrong.

A week ago I walked into a store and this employee started to follow me and then said "I'm going to see what coupons you have" I then proceeded to tell her the four offers/coupons I had in my account before she looked it up.

I completely understand that this is just part of her job and she's doing something she's been told to do. But sometimes the wording and delivery is just really off and either annoying or funny.

 

[Donut2922]

To be fair the average customer does not keep up with their PUR points balance.  On top of that, it's not common for them to earn 5K worth of points that often like most cags do.  I'm sure my current points balance alone is worth more than the ten customers that walk into a store after me.  I just humor the employees and let them do their job.  

 

[Super Sonic]

I know it's easy to hate on them  but these guys are basically paid minimum wage.  You get out what you put in. Would you give the maximum and then some for an employer only willing to give you the bare minimum in return? If so then you deserve a better employer than Gamestop.  I feel bad for the hoops corporate makes them jump through for their meager pay. I called Gamestop to see if they had a CE I was trying to find in stock and the call went something like "Hi you've reached Gamestop, home of the Playstation 4, ask me about our power up rewards program to get the most value out of your trade ins, now taking preorders for Zelda. I'm Greg how can I help you?" And I'm like... @_@ uh... ok. Do you have Tokyo Mirage for Wii U? I think if I had to deal with corporate crap on the one side and angry obnoxious customers on the other for some paltry wage that I would reach I point where I just don't care any more.
