GS FAQ

Where is the weekly ad?

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.

Is the rule of thumb still don’t trade more than 4 copies of a game in a rolling 30 day period?

Yes, I did 2 copies a week apart lately and the junior detective told me after accepting the trade I was going to get banned and why did I have so many copies. Not banned yet though.
 
Nothing- said:
No kidding.

Cousins, Aunt & Uncle threw away / sold and kept the money for my entire collection of 20+ CIB NES games my single mother worked hard to get for kid me, other than some of the carts. Sent a check for $100 with a message to shove it up my ass first time I ever dared to speak of it.

The trade in for a ps4 controller shows 27.50, but the image on the website is of a white controller. Is the trade in value the same for any color ps4 controller?

Can they see your recent trades that you did in another store when they pull up your account normally? Or did he just remember you

Dualshock 4 controller values look to all be the same currently at $25 base value.

Dualsense differs with white being lower the other varieties and Spider-Man controller being higher since they have it priced at $89.99.

He remembered me oddly enough this is the same location that had gotten me temporary banned before, it’s in a high crime area so maybe that makes them extra suspicious

I’d prefer not to get another call from their loss prevention team.

Store signs did indeed say it would end on Aug. 31. Just left a store, however, and he said they received notice from corporate that they were ending the sale early.

dang that sucks. sounds like the reshuffle of the retro stores put this sale on hold
 
Since it’s a new week and it’s not listed anywhere, if anyone trades in games please confirm if the +20% on any pre order is still working

Got an email from Gamestop: Gamestop misses you. Come get 10% off your next purchase!

You Received A Bonus Coupon Good For 10% Off Your Next Purchase!*​


Looks like ignoring Gamestop paid off.

Eh, they will pay the tax on your behalf. Nothing beats the 25% off pre-owned last month, rare W on corporate.
 
Anyone pre-order Visions of Mana and get their steelbook? I just called mine and asked if they got the steelbooks and the guy told me I still got a box to go through so not sure yet. Like dude I'm not getting this game if you didn't get my free item

A bunch of people on reddit are saying they didnt get the steelbook
 
10% off all digital games, DLC, gift cards, digital currency, etc. online

If you're in the market for a Steam Deck, this could be a good opportunity to stock up on Steam gift cards

For what it’s worth the Steam cards seem to be glitched and are actually at 15% off (maybe adding the 5% pro bonus also?).

Picked up mine today. Came with the steelbook. I was the only one to preorder the game.

Yeah, it is an extra 5% off for pro, says it on all the currency product pages that I checked (steam, Nintendo, meta). If only we could still use trade credit for digital currency online.
 
Ah, lame: can no longer use trade credit for digital currency on the website. Any chance that the 10% sale is happening in-store? What's the purchase limit for digital currency in-store?
 
Just brought an PS3 CECHE01 80Gb from GameStop website for pickup near Chicago. Should I auto buy the 2 year warranty? I have a A01, I don't use due to fear of YLOD. Figured it was worth picking up as its only $17 wasted if its get a YLOD, while under the warranty.

If you aren't planning on opening it up to mod or repasted (which would void the warranty any way), then I'd just get the warranty.
 
I just wanna put this out there for anyone that hasn’t tried yet or I haven’t seen anyone posted anywhere else but I just got my GameStop pro membership for $10 due to the five dollar coupon that’s been talked about on here like last week and buying Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club a new release and got $10 off of the pro membership this is most definitely ymmv but good luck.
