GS FAQ

Where is the weekly ad?

It might not be tradable or calling a store to find the value may be the only option.

Can I use the $5 monthly coupon on gift cards?

Yes you can in store but not online please note not all gift cards will apply to this rule.

I have a $XX.xx pre-owned reward certificate, and I want to use it on a B2G1 transaction. Should I?
It depends. If the three games are equal value, do not use your certificate. The value of the certificate would be applied to the free game, which would not benefit you. If one game is more expensive, you can use the certificate to make it the same value as the other two games ($5 reward certificate applied to transaction with two $10 games and one $15 game would make all three games $10).



TERMINOLOGY AND LINGO:
ASL/SL: Assistant Store Leader, Store Leader; manager positions at GS.
B2G1: Buy two, get one free.
GS: GameStop
JD: Junior detective, an employee who is out to get someone
LP: Loss Prevention; this is the department that actually bans accounts after being flagged.
TC/TiC: Trade credit.
TIV/TV: Trade in value, or what a game currently trades for. When posting a TV for a game, always use the base value.

Just from what I saw there are a few trades that after the pre-order bonus ended up being worth it to pick up and then trade in.

PS5
MLB the Show 23
FC 24
NBA2K24
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3

Switch
FC 24
 
Is there a way to view your trading history? I had a certain game that I wanted to trade, but I can't find it now, and I thought maybe I already traded it and just forgot about it.
 
Went to three GS's the last 24 hours and I think I scored some sweet games:
Ducktales Remastered (PS3)
Splatterhouse (PS3)
Sly Collection
Jak and Daxter Collection
Ratchet and Clank Collection
Prototype Biohazard Bundle
Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection
God of War Collection
God of War III Remastered
 
You'll have to go in store and they'll print it out for you

I always wondered if your (at least recent) trading history is something they can immediately see on their screen when pulling up your account, or if they'd have to go out of their way to look it up. Never stopped me from trading in the same game multiple times or at different stores when it came down to it, but it would be a little embarassing to find out I'm not remotely as slick as I thought I was lol
 
Found nothing at my 2 closest GameStops yesterday.

Drove further out today and think I found the one store that gets good trades. I think it’s also closer to a town that is a bit more ritzy than the other 2, lol.

Got:
Another Code Recollection(NS) (monthly $5 applied to it)
Pikmin 3 (NS)
Octopath Traveler (NS)
Slay the Spire (NS)
Stray (ps5)
Persona 5 Tactica (NS) - was going to get FF Crisis core for the NS but the guy could not find the cart for it so I had to find something in a similar price that my kids would play
 
How often do they do trade promos that are over $5 get another $5? The last time this happened was the 2nd week of December 23 If I remember correctly. Do they have a similar summer trade in promo?

Not with any regularity, but I feel like we're due for one in the next couple of months. Just a hunch.
