Yeah, I think I paid $25 to trade in a white PS5 controller and upgrade to a black one not too long back. Also ordered my parents 2 refurbed iPhone 11's for $400 each that look brand new and got $60 in rewards points. I'm glad they're still around.
I read that sometimes when you copy and paste the code into the field, there's an invisible space character that gets inserted at the end that makes the code not work. It has happened to me on one occasion but you could always just enter it manually just to be sure.
Just catching up with the thread. Bummer, but expected. This month will be redemption #8, and I'd already come out absurdly ahead following the trade deals last Fall, so I can't really complain.
End on era in some sense. 100% digital on all platforms, and all but one of my gaming devices don't even run physyical media. Can't imagine having a reason to set foot in a GameStop again, at least not for the foreseeable future.
Well, I hope it excludes digital currency cause that's the only reason I have a Pro account right now lol.
Someone in this thread should take one for the team and save theirs until next week
When I used mine at the beginning of the month, the employee asked me if I wanted to renew since I had enough points to do so. However, I told them I'm waiting to see if there were going to be any changes to the membership this month (specifically mentioned the use on digital currency). They said they don't think that it is going to happen again after the backlash the first time. So either they didn't get the memo yet about the ToS change or that it really is just a nothing burger.
S'all good! We'll find out eventually
The waiiit though lol
It's so fascinating that it was written so ambiguously that we don't know if it applies to what people actually used them for.
Well, it's not *official* yet. They are starting more restrictions on May 16th, to GIFT cards, and other things that it totally shouldn't be able to be used on, but it didn't explicitly mention eShop cards or the like. So it's still a big wonder right now.
A worker said I could use trade credit to buy Amazon Giffard up to 200 a day. Never tried, so don't know if that was true. But if so, I'm sure that's nuked.
Trade in credit isn't the same as this though, I don't see why that would change.
I thought they were also trying to keep money in and not out. Credit or gift card normally increase spending, but if you buy out, you're gone.
Phew glad we randomly picked up our $5 codes yesterday while running errands with a GameStop nearby lol. Hope it still works, getting closer to paying for that expansion SSD lol.
I'll definitely not renew if this happens, but if they're losing money on the program it makes sense even if they're going to hemorrhage subs.
I had $260 in GS credit, so I tried to get Steam gift cards for a Steam Deck. Took four visits to get through it all.
- Internet was down, so no redemption was possible.
- Someone else used gift cards I guess, so I could only do $50.
- Got $200 on this trip, but couldn't get the last $10. Even tried to get a $20 GC. On the bright side got a free Lego Star Wars poster and Finn minifig.
- Finally redeemed the $20 and my monthly $5.
Looks like it still works
Edit: yep was able to checkout and get my code just fine.
So how's this work? You use the redeem code on GameStop's website to get a $10 gift card and also redeem that same code on Xbox?Looks like it still works
Well this is great news!Looks like it still works
Edit: yep was able to checkout and get my code just fine.

Wow, that's good to hear then, even if double dipping were to stop then that's still good enough

Excellent ! Thanks for checking !
I wonder if it worked because the code was generated in this month before the change went into effect. Hopefully not. Thanks for checking!Looks like it still works

I'm having trouble getting the code to work after just getting back from buying a $10 PSN card from in-store. When I try the code on my cart online, I get a "Coupon cannot be added to your cart" error :(. Is it dead?
Worked for me at the beginning of this month, but I'll see if that has changed in June
Haven't been keeping up but just used my $5 on a year sub for Nintendo Online and that worked.
If I redeem a $15 online coupon can I use it on some PSN credit?

Built up a healthy sum of about 70 dollars worth of eshop gift cards with double dipping. Sad to see it go.
Good to hear! Now to wait for tomorrow. Got my fingers crossed.
How does online work? They always told me I could only use it in store
The coupons you redeem don't work for digital credit iirc, I got a $5 one a few months ago after redeeming 5000 points and it seemed to only work on physical items, and it ended up expiring because I didn't use it in time.
It's just a code, you can find it under the 'Active Offers' section on the website. If you save the code beforehand, you can use it online after using the $5 in-store.
Yup, a physical PSN card from the store and a digital PSN card online.
how do you apply the $5 online? i've always had to go in to a store.Well, didn't cash out yet, but the June code works for eShop
Go here https://www.gamestop.com/poweruprewards/active-offers/
find your monthly reward offer and view it. Copy the code and you'll paste that under promos and codes in checkout.
I don't want to talk about it. I can't even tell you how many monthly codes I've had expire. I probably would have $150 in extra steam GC's if I had known.
