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).

Or people just aren't sharing any deals, items went oos and or the trade in values already lowered. You have to remember that they barely have any in stock stuff to begin with. Especially with the -1.
 
The B2G1 isn't that good when everything is full price. I bought a lot around Christmas because everything was heavily discounted on top of getting a free game.

Yeah I miss during the holidays when discover had a cash back promo stacked with Rakuten or whatever so you'd be getting 40% cash back on the purchases.

Yeah... I remember the days when I got x% back on buying games during a B2G1F and Rakuten gave be the x% on the regular price without the B2G1F discount. And then I'd pay for the item using some giftcards I got at a discount, usually at 8-10%.

I've got a ton of games I want to pick up but even with the B2G1F, it's just not worth it without other discounts to stack on top.

Flipping directly from the b2g1 I see nothing but if you had bought around the Holidays there are some that can be flipped from their own sales. I did manage to find the new Assassin’s Creed and Monster Hunter during the latest b2g1, not to flip but a good deal. Flipping broken accessories really pays off as well, ask around or buy from ebay and even with the refurb fees I’m doubling my cash to credit. Nice discount on consoles and new accessories.
 
I went by this morning and traded in the slim for the pro. They let me open the pro and swap the plates and then did the transaction. The only minor annoyance is the feet that come with the pro are tiny because they're not made for the disc drive so my pro is sitting crooked on my tv stand lol.

Also it looks like they just choose on the screen whether it's a physical or digital version of the console.

Probably wouldn't have done it if I couldn't keep my disc drive but I feel like $310 for 2TB storage, a beefy GPU upgrade, fresh controller and warranty isn't bad. I'm expecting games like GTA VI, Yotei and Death Stranding 2 to really take advantage of it.
