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.

Instore today inside the glass console case I noticed an interesting product. Gamestop branded PS5 Slim plates. $35. Looked close to the PS galactic purple plates but with a vent cutout added to the side.

Is anyone able to find this product/sku on the website? I have not been able to find it while browsing the local store inventory, even though I know they have at least 2. Maybe they're trying to keep it on hush+wink status so Sony doesn't realize?

There are a lot of copies. But it’s probably also the game that the most people own multiple copies off possibly ever made? I’ve never owned 2 copies of the same game. I have 2 copies of 3d all stars (one I’m keeping sealed and one open so I can play it)

Nah, I'd say people buy multiple copies of games where you need 2 copies for 2 people to play against each other or games where you don't want to share a copy so you can play at the same time. Pokemon games people probably have the most reason to own multiple copies of for the family. Animal Crossing is probably up there too.

If you have multiple people in the family and have multiple copies and multiple switches, that’s not really what I mean. That’s not “owning one copy”. That’s multiple people.

I’m saying like if you are one person with no family and you just have multiple copies

So many stores closing.

Seems like a matter of time before they can't keep defaulting to this strategy.

It’s not surprising. Went in to pick up my Mario RPG. No one in there. Saw there was only one other item waiting for pickup.

I mean they can’t even sell their Pro with the ‘you can pick up a Pokemon card pack each month’ anymore since they can’t keep scalpers from buying them all.
