Either way requires a membership (Gamers Club Unlocked @ Best Buy $30 for 2 years or Amazon Prime $99 per year) and a cash back credit card.

US Bank has the Cash+ card with rotating categories you can choose yourself quarterly for 5% cash back. One of those categories is electronics stores and covers Best Buy so couple that with GCU and you're getting 25% off new games. You can reuse the same categories all year. Some say Amazon is considered a bookstore and you can add bookstores as a category and get 5% off there too. I plan to look into that.

Amazon just upgraded their Chase rewards card to 5% cash back on all Amazon purchases if you have Prime and you already got the 20% off with Prime on new games.

The bottom line is people have no excuse to still be shopping at Gamestop. Especially when you can get new games for $45 each instead of $60. Yall might look at that extra 5% and say whatever but once you buy 15 games you've saved enough with that extra 5% to get another game free. As long as you were buying them anyway good deal. Also look at it like this buy 2 get 1 free is usually $120. With this you can get 3 games anytime you want for $15 more than that at $130. Best Buy also often has $10 bonus coupons with select new titles when you preorder.

20% off plus an additional 5% off is not equivalent to 25% but still some good deals nonetheless. I'm an Amazon Prime member and have the 5% off card so I'll likely be taking advantage

There's a 60 or so cent difference meaning it's close enough. Instead of $45 you'll pay $45.60.

24% off $60 leaves you at $45.60
20% off 60 leaves you at $48 then 5% off that leaves you at $45.60

I guess a mod could change that to 24%

I didn't crunch the numbers so didn't realize I was nit-picking that much, probably just a response from when I worked in retail and we'd have "additional 25% off sales" or whatever and people wouldn't understand why the item that was already 50% off wasn't 75% off the original retail price. I had to regularly basically teach math to people.
