Gamestop Rewards Pro members to receive monthly $5 reward certificate starting on January 16th
- Thread starter DMVfan123
- Start date
this has been in beta since near the middle of last year, so the effects are for all pro members now
Our Gamestop has been doing this for the last year or so. I don't like it, mainly because the 5 dollars can't be used on preorders beyond the month it's good for.
Aren't they like cutting the discount on used games with this too?
Because if so, Gamestop can really kiss my ass at this point. I've scavenged about all the Vita, DS, and 3DS titles I can from them anyway as those sections have been reduced to barely half a shelf (as the stores have also reduced to barely half games in the first place...)

They expire at the end of each month obviously. The $5 signup coupon worked on $10 eshop credit for me, making it $5. (i haven't tried with my Jan coupon yet)
Will this apply to EBGames in Canada? That's the only reason to renew the card every year.
So can you place a preorder, use the $5 monthly credit in increments to the preorder and then move the credit around? I don't think they give cash back from preorders based of gift cards but maybe that'll be a way to preserve it all....
They can't be applied to pre-orders. It has to be a purchase of something in-stock and in-store.
Nope.
"Available only in-store, the new military discount program does not include new video game hardware platforms, digital currency of any type, point-of-sale-activation cards, or any other type of gift cards. Additionally, the discount does not apply to sales, clearance or any other GameStop promotional items."
Don't have the hate boner for GameStop that many do, but I can't see myself bothering to resub sadly. I enjoyed that discount and used it quite a bit.
RIP Pro Membership
This is hands down a worse deal if you regularly shop at Gamestop. The 10% off used games pays for itself if you buy 3 recent games there a year and many people buy a lot more then that (people who actively shop there anyway). The 5$ monthly thing is good that it works on more then used games but many other retailers generally sell new games under 60$ anyway. The fact that the coupon only works in the month you get it is just awful, many people will easily forget about them.
Boy am I glad I don't work there anymore, I'll be shocked if Subs don't start plummeting and they use this as an excuse to close Game Informer.

Was told this today when I used some gift cards on PSN/eShop currency. They said this was good for those currency cards, so you can get $5 off of a card each month if you're so inclined to do that. Seems solid for that.
For $20/yr. this seems like it's could be a good deal depending on your spending habits, especially on top of the already-in-place discounts for members on used games.
Oh dang hang on, that's unambiguously good .
That seems like something they can and probably will change. I assume they want you to spend money on the legion of backstock they have and not on digital cards.
If you can use them on $10 currency cards, then for a $20 membership, you could get $120 of currency for a total of $80. That's 33% off, which is a better deal than you can find anywhere else. I personally don't know if it's worth the hassle and it feels like the kind of thing they might change. Can these coupons be used online?
I've found that in recent years I really don't buy used games. Not by choice but usually I buy newer games released in the last year or so during discounts
Can anyone confirm if the $5 certificate will work on PSN cards?
I have some PSN purchases I want to make and some trade-in credit already with Gamestop. Figure if I can use the $5 certificate a PSN card, I'll be able to make back the annual cost pretty quickly. Then after I exhaust my credit, I can begin to move into a more digital future and leave Gamestop behind permanently.
