They've done this before. During the release of all those sports games last year.
So in typical GameStop fashion, they're offering a slightly worse deal than their competitors.
I corrected you and explained how it works.

if BB backs down....Amazon will become even bigger in terms of the market......BB probably gets tons of other sales due to the reward certs. I buy a lot of other things from best buy if I can to support how fucking baller GCU has been. Has saved me probably well over 2 grand in game purchases
Also, the program is free. A code is scanned that shows up for ten bucks and knocks ten bucks off the first game in the program you buy. Then you receive 10 dollar coupons off each additional game after. The earlier you sign up, the more you save. This happened last year as well.
Pales in comparison to GCU at Best Buy still.
I wonder how BB is making any money since it doesnt seem that anybody is attempting to match their program really. Amazon comes close but its only for newly released games, so basically full price titles only.
So even if you're already a PowerUp Rewards member, you have to pay an additional $10 just to qualify to buy select games for $10 off? That's lame. That's like if in addition to my regular Amazon Prime membership, I was paying an additional fee for reduced pricing on games. Lame deal, Sad!
Yet it works with all games at BB, including amiibo.
Someone informed us that you don't have an extra $10, it is just included with your Pro membership so $10 off those games period. Website is just worded bad.
Pro Rewards is also half the up-front price of GCU (though GCU is two years for the 30, I think?)That's cool GameStop, but if you're going to join in on the fun, you're going to need to do better than that . Both GCU and Prime are still a better value than this.

Yeah, GCU is for two years. But you do get a Game Informer sub with the GS membership, which is nice.
just remember you get 20% off at best buy and most AAA games give a $10 cert even after that 20% bringing some games down to $42.....that includes tax

Not to mention the games they sell aren't technically new. You get a big blotch of sticker residue on the case from that stupid seal that they use, fingerprints on the disc, and occasionally a missing code insert.
I thought this was a good move by Gamestop until I read the fine print. Even with a Powerup Pro membership, you need to buy a $10 "Spring Pass" to qualify for the coupon.
Which means that you literally save nothing unless you buy at least two games. Get it the fuck together Gamestop. This is why I only use them for getting hardware at launch. Literally no reason to buy software from them.
This is an isn't true. What you're referring to are their "display" boxes, which they dole out once they're out of "sealed" copies of a new game. Any time they've tried to give me the "shelf" copy I always tell them that I'll buy it elsewhere. I refuse to pay full price for a game they consider "used" based on their policies.
That's cool GameStop, but if you're going to join in on the fun, you're going to need to do better than that . Both GCU and Prime are still a better value than this.
I already have almost every game I'll want this year pre ordered for just over 35% off retail thanks to Best Buy GCU plus the $25 off $100 Visa promo. That will hopefully keep me from setting foot into a Gamestop unless I want to trade any of those in.
Wait wait wait. The OP needs to be updated.
Apparently, you need to buy a $10 "spring pass" card (so this won't last for long guys), then be a pro member ($15- $25 dollars I believe, I haven't been a pro member forever), and THEN you get $10 off only select games and only for the spring.

LOL stay losing Gamestop! That is just a completely stupid business decision. I am on the floor laughing.

There's some confusion about this, another user above said that they actually scan a $10 code on your purchase, not that you need to pay them $10.
I'll be confirming this within an hour once I leave work and check in with my local gamestop.
