Gamestop is getting raped on these promos with people buying and trading in games

[x-factor7]

Can't believe this shyt made it from Friday to Monday and I didn't hear about it til the tail end!!!!

Oh well I can still unload my vast 360/PS3/Wii collection for top dollar. Going full digital so won't be needing any of these games....well except for these Mario and Zelda games

I tried today, seems it's a no go. Took my whole stash and came up $500 so it wasn't a total loss but really wished i could have gotten some Amazon gift cards.

I see, still gonna try tomorrow regardless. Found this on NeoGay

Can I turn my Trade In Credit into Amazon Credit? Yes.


1. First convert your Trade-In Card into a GameStop Gift Card. They are different. I ran into an employee who thought they were the same, they are not. It helps to ask them to split up your trade credit into multiple GameStop gift cards (for example: $500 Trade In Credit into 5 x $100 GameStop Gift Cards)

2. Go to a different GameStop Store

3. Buy Amazon Cards with your GameStop Gift Card. (Their computer system ALLOWS this. If the GS employee "doesn't think it will work" kindly ask them to try.)

THIS WORKS, YMMV. Some people are being denied, there is no reason, their system ALLOWS this. Just be sure you are going to different stores to convert the Trade In -> GameStop GC -> Amazon GC. It will NOT work if you are trying to do that all in the same store. If denied, just wait or try another store. Their system does allow this, so just wait.

Also ProTip: Break up your Trade-In Card into GameStop GC into smaller denominations. For example: If you have $600 in Trade In Credit, ask for 6 x $100 GameStop Gift cards. Tell them they're literally gifts.

Another method reported by a user:
You dont need the app. Go to www.amazon.com/cash. If you are logged in you can click a link to get a barcode that the gamestop employee scans to "add" cash to your amazon account. You cant go straight from trade in credit card to amazon. You have to find a store willing to let you "buy" gamestop gift cards with your trade in credit. Gamestop gift cards can be anything from $5 to $500 max. Max transfer into amazon is $500 per transaction. Coincidence? I think not!

Well i wish you luck and i've been reading the same thing.... but i was at two different stores that said it couldn't be done and to be honest i don't know why going to a different store would work. The Gamestop credit is their currency at all stores so it shouldn't matter if you are in any one over any other of them trying to get the Amazon gc.

Seems like a huge YMMV to try to find one store who will override or allow it, we need a Gamestop employee to cut thru the confusion.

Yep, I have taken advantage of it myself the past few times.

Gamestop really needs to change their business model fast before they go under. The sad thing is that I do think it can be changed as GameStop is a very big name in the gaming industry, but they need to move away from software ASAP.

They are going under, it is just a matter of time.

They have a model that mirrors blockbuster and are competing against Redbox and downloadable content. I don't see them being around in 5 years time.

No doubt, they won't focus on what they need to unfortunately.

I will miss gamestop though. There was something nice about having a game store around
