Yeah I subbed in late November solely for this reason (for the first time), but I can't say that I'm shocked at it being taken away. I did get to use one of the monthly coupons towards digital currency, at least. Although this is a crappy thing to do so suddenly and with no advance notice, and GameStop deserves all the flak they'll inevitably get about it in this thread, I do have to say that lately their prices on some recent titles (and trade in values) have been surprisingly good.
Only if you want some good trade in on a previous gen console. I traded my One X early December and it was my first time in a GameStop since 2013. I only got that power up thing because it gave me extra credit for my Xbox. I was going to use those $5 certificates for Xbox cards but oh well. Should have known I would quickly say fuck this place shortly after doing business then again lol but I can't complain about the trade value I got. I just need to use up the rest of my credit and those points for whatever they're good for and say adios.
I'm curious about this and regular gift cards/trade-in cards, as well. Hopefully they still will be able to convert into digital currency. I didn't trade many games in the past but was planning to go down this route with GameStop moving forward for my physical games, and likely eventually converting some time down the line into digital currency.
Only thing I can think of is if they get a huge amount of social media backlash. Even then the leadership of this company has shown they lose little sleep with fucking over their own employees on a routine basis and I'm not sure they give any more cares towards their customers.
From the looks of that picture taken of a memo given to employees, they work on no cards whatsoever anymore.
It didn't work on the 1st either from what I've seen, employees had no idea why and thought it was an error while some said this was routine and happens every year but it always gets corrected in the system. Just today was it made official to them that this was intentional.
Yeah, a lot of folks in the subreddit are upset they sold them on this promise as they were apparently encouraged to them had the rug pulled out from under them from corporate. I don't see how anyone can stand working for this place and I've spent a lot of years in restaurant/retail.
If I go in to ask what can be done, I'm definitely not going to give the employees working there any grief knowing that they had this pulled on them from Corporate. Not their fault. Just want to see how I can make sure I'm not charged again in a year.
