[quote name='Jinsoku']The deal started today
everywhere. NO Gamestop should have denied you unless you're like in Puerto Rico or Alaska or Hawaii where there might be some sort of different deal going on, (don't know if there's any difference between those stores that are outside of the states, so I say that).
So, for those people you spoke with, they don't know what they're talking about. Tell them to call their District Managers or other stores to find out. Trust me, once you mention the dreaded "DM" word, they WILL go find out. That means these people aren't keeping up with their marketting, or rather, their job.
No restrictions whatsoever. There are signs all over the store with fine print. If the register guy says otherwise, DON'T BE MAD, simply go read a sign and read the fine print, (if any). If there is no fine print there are NO exceptions. Again, don't be mad, because corporate often likes to spring promotions on us without letting us know of restrictions. For example, the trade 3 get 10 SOMETIMES I've noticed, has the sports & wrestling restrictions. There were two times it did not. Also I believe last time the trade 4+ get 40%, no DVDs were allowed.
Restrictions though will probably be accessories. It does NOT work toward systems. Again,
NOT for systems.
Now, to answer the whole "OMG DROP IN TRADE IN PRICES" thing,
NO, GameStop will not randomly drop values for their promos. Values change DAILY. It's a form of supply and demand. If supply is up suddenly from a great promo (such as this, or recently the trade NCAA 06 and get Madden for 20 deal), and demand is diminishing, then we will give less in value for certain low demand game. It's as easy as that, and corporate looks at that every day. If your game is worth $22 today, we cannot guarantee it WON'T be $20, or $19, or $18 tomorrow.
Now, about the
MORE CARD, no, it will not tack on your full extra 40%. However, if you brought in extra stuff like accessories that doesn't work on the promo, you may be able to get the extra 10% on those items, though YMMV on that, as that's something that's picky per manager. USUALLY policy is one promo at a time, and the More Card in essense shouldn't be used even if other items don't apply to said promo at time, and most of the time stores follow that practice to the point, so don't be surprised if it doesn't work.
That should be about it, there. I'm off today so I'm not sure of the ins and outs. When I go in tomorrow, if you all haven't figured it out here, I'll post any smaller tidbits that might help.

Indeed, sick of the gamestop bashers, how they always accuse them of dropping trade in value prices. I know a good friend who happens to work on the pricing for trade ins at gamestop and he use to work for my store manager before actually moving to corporate at grapevine 20 mins away. He says they never do that and do it by supply and demand.
Most stores should allow more card with accessories + 40% with the games, no idea why they wouldnt when its two seperate items taking advantage of 2 different promotions.
Ill check for small print tommorow, it sounds odd how this has absolutley no POX since its usually only works on PSP Games, Xbox, PS2, GC games sometimes DVD Movies/PSP Movies/DS Games, but never GBA or GBC GB.
