They usually give you a second card with the remaining balance but it can vary.

I'm as happy as anyone to shit on Gamestop, but this worked out fantastically for us. We traded in 36 games going back to Wii/DS, lots of them of middling quality, and got goddamn $380. Holy shit.
Wound up paying of Yakuza Kiwame, grabbed a $100 PSN card to pre-order the Battlefront 2 DE ($80) and have the other $250 sitting on the GS card. Was going to pre-order FF12 just to save some actual cash over my Amazon order but they're not doing pre-orders on the steelbook anymore. Other than that I'll probably just sit on the $250 for a few months for when we get a Switch, that nearly pays for it there.

Most games don't get a bump. High value recent titles and nintendo games like pokemon, Fire Emblem and Zelda typically get bumped.

Dayum.. yea, you won on that deal. I'm either going to get a oneX or PSVR for skyrim. Keeping the Switch for Mario.

I'm just happy I was able to trade in about 2/3 of my collection and be able to comfortably afford an Xbox One X when it comes out.
Promotions like these is one of the reasons why I still buy physical games.

Was thinking about upgrading to a PS4 Pro, but I'm perfectly content with my PS4. I'm going to hold onto my Switch for as long as I can.

Hot damn! I traded in six games I no longer cared about or owned on Steam, and snagged a $50 Steam card. Sooooo hype!

Traded in some extra games I got for cheap, and while we were finishing things up I noticed he put my Dead Sapce 2 as Dead space 1 and that would of shorted me 12$. Don't think he was happy I was walking out with 180$ and Caught his error. But I'm happy regardless, More money towards my Xbox One X.

They're giving MSRP on the Switch as well. Just sold six games for one hundred and fifty bucks, put all of that in Steam gift cards to buy the stuff I wanted from the Steam Sale.

This might be the way to persuade me to get Xbox One X.

Is it possible to use my friends Pro membership even if I don't have his card? Or do they ask for ID if I give them his account info.

Wat? Like $300?
Naw.. just don't see myself playing them too much anymore, and this way I can get back most of what I paid for em. Plus once FFXii comes out, that's all I'll be playing. ...and I got 334 other PS4 games. And whatever digital Switch games I have. I'll catch em on sale digital some time.

I just traded in 7 games for 170$. Not bad. Most of the titles were 10$ base with MK being 43.

May just be a local thing, but yeah, $300 for a used Switch. Really tempted now that I'm done with Zelda

do you get less money if you dont have the game cases? Literally just threw out all my game cases a couple of weeks ago
Case or manual doesn't matter.

Man, why can't the Gamestop app work with a barcode scanner app? Would make checking these trade-in values so much easier. Debating whether I should trade in my SNES game (which are apparently worth more than the majority of my PS3/360 games).

Does it matter what the worth of the games are? I have some old sports games worth only $.50 that I'd trade to get a better percentage on other games.
I don't think so, I think as long as the values don't say N/A then you are good.

Cool, thanks! I remember them having restrictions in the past that made it so only games that are $2+ would go towards trade in deals and what not. That was probably when GameStop was a little less desperate

Do the trade in values on the Gamestop website include this promo or not?

Add 60%?
No. Just multiply your total by 1.6

How far back do they go? I have some PS1 and PS2 games I could get rid of.
Edit: Oh, is it only those with listed trade values? That's too bad.

You can't apply the bonuses to Amazon Cash. It would be whatever the cash equivalent is.

As said above, Amazon Cash only gives you the cash amount.

It's slightly more accurate to take the non-"PowerUp Rewards" trade in value and multiply by 1.7.

They don't let you do that anymore
Since when? That sucks. I feel like I did it recently, although that might have been a day or two before the Amazon cash thing started.
Maybe your store will let you, but the ones around here stopped letting you use credit for Amazon/Visa/Gas cards. You can only use it on cards like Steam/PSN/and game-centric stuff.
It does suck, I used to do it all the time. I once traded in a ton of stuff, got $600 in Amazon cards and almost got all the parts for a PC that way

I may just need to go clean out most of my 360/PS3 collection and a few PS4 games. I don't have a whole lot of need for them anymore with Backwards Compatibility and the other fact that I doubt I'll play any of some of them again. I could get a pretty good amount in store credit through just the amount of games alone.
Traded a few games in just now. Trade-in price is after an additional 70%.
1-2 Switch - $37.40
Super Bomberman R - $34
Doom (PS4) - $15.30
Shadow of Mordor GOTY (PS4) - $20.40
Batman Telltale (PS4) - $11.90
Street Fighter x Tekken (Vita) - $11.90
Total - $130.90
Bought $100 in Steam gift cards and plan to purchase Steam versions of the PS4 games, which is fantastic since they're all on sale right now. Had $30 left over and placed it on a trade-in credit card.
The Switch games I traded in were not being played and I got them pretty cheap at launch with Best Buy's GCU/Visa Checkout promo. So no loss there.
