I take it you paid for it with trade-in credit?

I did.

I did.

Cool. Yeah.. they shouldn't be able to double tax you like that. Congrats on getting the money back!

Did they do it on the spot or give you some run-around about "submitting request w/ 5-7 business days"?

 

[Merchandise]

Yeah I called two days ago and they said they put in a request and nothing happened, so I emailed them today, no response.

 

[PartTimeWarrior]

Can I just use my trade in credit to buy a switch bundle on the thinkgeek site?

 

[Nameless]

Did they do it on the spot or give you some run-around about "submitting request w/ 5-7 business days"?

They processed it over the phone and said it would take up to 7 days to go through.

The person I spoke to yesterday did tell me I'd have to fill & fax out some sort of exemption form but that didn't make sense to me.

Was it supposed to be free shipping/tax free?

So....
Who got banned for life?
Who got arrested?
Who had their points taken?
Who had to return all their games?
Who had their trade credit denied from all transactions?

Just asking since we had a good amount of doubt in here.

 

[Megatron]

No way. Then how come everyone is trying to jump through all these hoops to turn trade in credit to cash if they can just do that lol

This is even more hoops, and nobody told them they could. Should work fine. I bought a game with a gift card from them last wednesday. I returned the game tuesday after the crazy deals changed my priority and was given cash.

?? They can stop you from spending credit you have on a card? That seems like a fair bit of BS.

 

[blame space]

Tgis is even more hoops, and nobody told them they coukd. Should work fine. I bought a game with a gift card from them last wednesday. I returned the game tuesday after the crazy deals changed my priority and was given cash.

that's not normal. your receipt has how you paid for it directly in it.

 

[MikeE21286]

I’ve got 138k in PUR points now.

Anyone who is going to be getting $x coupons using their points, be aware that you can’t use more than one coupon denomination of the same value in any single transaction. And also you can’t use more than 3 coupons per transaction.

I’ll probably get a $50, $25, $25, $20 and $10 and $5 and $3

Lmao. They do auto ban people from trading in games for a month if you trade in too many games. But that is just a ban from trading in more games. They definitely cannot do any of the others on that list.

 

[Megatron]

Yes, but they still return it as cash. They consider them the same thing. Try for yourself. It works.

I know. Just being facetious. The fear was on high alert in here over the weekend. I made out like a bandit and nothing happened.

 

[Persona7]

When you buy online and return in store they can't tell what payment method you used unless they call customer service. They usually cash you out because it's a hassle.

If you can hold off.. some have recommended waiting for black friday..usually reward points are half of what they are now or something

Question about the PUR coupons.

If a game is $49.99 and I have a $50 certificate, does it count after tax? Or would this coupon not work because the total isn't over 50?

 

[Malo]

Went in to my local gamestop and preordered the Switch ARMS bundle. I asked if I could switch out ARMS for Mario Kart and was told I couldn't. ARMS seems like a fun game, but I think I rather have Mario Kart 8 deluxe or Splatoon 2.

I turned $17 and 6 of my old games into a Switch bundle, and a pro controller. Not bad.

I was looking at FAQ, that's not a thing. The total cost doesn't have to go above the cert. But I don't think you keep the balance if there is any.

 

[spawnsniper]

So I'm at a crossroads, I have around 200 in trade in credit and a 50$ coupon for a ipad air 2 on gamestop OR get Amazon cash...

I would sell the iPad on cl.

Sweet good deal then, I think I'll purchase FFXII on Tuesday and then sell it here on GAF for a few bucks under MSRP.

Do you mind if i ask what state you're in? If i don't have pay tax, might be worth to grab one of those bullshit bundles. I'm in CA.

 

[bodine1231]

Mind checking the IMEIs on Swappa?

Clean!

 

[ironmang]

Figures the first iphone I check fails the finance check lol. Since they were all the same price would they give me 1/3 of the cost of the whole transaction back if I were to return 1?

 

[asdad123]

Got my other two iPhone 6s Pluses and one of the iPhone 7s.

Both iPhone 6s Plus are black listed and can't be activated. Back to the store with those.

The iPhone 7 is good though.

You just going to try and exchange them in store for a couple new tries?

 

[Lucario]

My other two phones got here. Both fine, one came with a huge screen defect though.

I also re-checked the one that was blacklisted earlier, and it's fine now too....?

What the fuck

 

[Megatron]

That is what they should do. But when I did it a couple days ago with games, they returned the individual games on 2 different receipts for full value even though they were b2g1.

I'm probably just going to try and return all 3 and hope they give me cash since nowhere on the order slip or my order history online does it say I paid with trade credit.

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

Yikes at all these risky phone tablet posts. Good thing i didn't go that route



So everyone thats on PUR membership now. Would it be wise to wait until the end of the month to use the B2G1 coupon to get another profitable trade in deal? lol

 

[Double Donut]

Decided to check PUR since I haven't in a while and I have the points from this flipping. Didn't know they axed all the physical goodies. It's all just digital stuff now. Aw man.

Eh, it was one of the few routes to cash out that didn't include trying to ship like 5-6 used PS4s.

 

[MikeE21286]

Oh wow I will wait.

Thanks for the advice !

 

[asdad123]

Turns out only 1 was blacklisted. Other is good. Already went to a store and am getting a replacement shipped. Figure I'll give it a shot for 1 replacement. If that doesn't work I'll just go the Amazon credit route.

Word of advice, don't try your sim card in a black listed phone lol. It'll lock your verizon account.

 

[WordAssassin]

I have an original Wii, PS4 copy of The Division, and 360copy of Blue Dragon that I'm willing to part with. Is there any point or worth to trading them in now or would I be better off holding on to them for some other deal? Standard TIV for the three looks like it'd be around $27 and since it's 3 items I assume that bumps it to a 40% bonus? I wish I could find a fourth thing to trade to get up to 50%. I would trade in my 360 except that it's the only way I'll be able to play my copy of Dante's Inferno (I know, I know, but I really want to play it to see how ridiculous it is, like a so-bad-its-good horror movie).

I'm so bad at these deals, had all the time in the world to do this but I get so nervous and guilty flipping stuff like all y'all do so I always just let the opportunities pass ):

 

[HCgamer]

I called this afternoon cs gave me runaround my order did not qualify for free shipping also they charged me over $40 tax thinking about doing a return rebuy in store.

[HCgamer]

My switch bundle did not arrive yet scheduled for arrival Monday.

 

[Icedburden]

Can I just use my trade in credit to buy a switch bundle on the thinkgeek site?

You should be able to, as long as you aren't me. They cancelled my fucking Switch bundle for the second time just now. $500 cancellations, twice in a day. My fuse has run out.

 

[Merchandise]

My switch bundle did not arrive yet scheduled for arrival Monday.

Where are you located? And what's the current shipping status?

NYC, still sitting at departed the KY facility.

 

[kirblar]

Mine's been delivered.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Damn my switch bundle left Illinois the other day. Would be an awesome surprise if it arrived this weekend instead of the schedule Tuesday delivery.

 

[Darknight]

Guys whats the next step for selling the iPhones? Like alternatives to Craiglist/Letgo/OfferUp.

I read Swappa? Any other marketplaces that are reliable? Thanks.

What about returning the iPhones in store GS? Would they give you a nasty look if you return them and do they issue you a new Trade Card with the full amount?

 

[wanders]

What's the best route to turn GS credit to Best Buy gift card?

I was thinking GS Credit -> Amazon GC -> Lowe's GC -> Best Buy GC

 

[PrinceKee]

Is this deal still going on and have the decreased trade in values?

 

[Pojoking]

Those who were charged for shipping and/or tax on their Switch orders give Gamestop Customer Service a call once it arrives. They refunded me for both(about $60 in total).

Can someone please explain what I should say it to GameStop regarding this? I used trade in credit and I believe I was at least charged for tax.

 

[manzoman96]

They didn't let me use my trade in credit to get a regular gamestop gift card

 

[Megatron]

What's the best route to turn GS credit to Best Buy gift card?

Not sure Lowes will do that. I have found if you buy things with gamestop gift cards, and retun them, they return them as cash. Buy a ps4 or whatever, dont open it and retun it a couple days ago. If you used a gift card and not store credit, they shoukd return it as cash. Might not hurt to chip in a couple of your own dollars to be safe.
