EDIT: LOLLL typo in the thread title, i swear it's soooo fitting!!!
I went to gamestop two days ago, for the first time in years. I had some old games and controllers to trade in and figured this would be easier than doing the usual amazon trade in routine. I was going to receive $125 store credit when the clerk asked me if i want to sign up for their power rewards for $6, saying it would give me 20% more for my trade in. I said OK sure that pays for itself.
He rings it up and all of a sudden i'm only geting $98. I look at it and it says he signed me up for the bullshit rewards program AND a subscription of game informer without telling me. I told him to take that shit off, i'll take my $125 store credit and be happy i'm not going to go to gamestop that frequently anyways.
So i go home with my gift card, thinking everything is great and dandy. I get home today and decide i'll go ahead and just buy madden and RDR2 with the gift card, so i go online and put both in my cart. I add my card number and pin, click apply funds. It does so, then i click submit order and get an error. No big deal, i'll do it again. I do it again, but when i go to apply the funds, it says i have $1 left on my card. I've checked my email checked everything to see if the order went through and it DID NOT., So they've taken my shit and then took their money back on top of it, and i have NOTHING.
Now, i've been on hold with their customer service for 17 minutes listening to a god awful advertisement that i guess is supposed to be like a gaming podcast? How is GameStop still around when they're SOOOOO consistently bad???
