GameStop hints and tips
- Sign up to PowerUp Rewards Pro: If you plan to shop at GameStop regularly then you should consider signing up for PowerUp Rewards Pro. This is GameStop’s rewards program that gives you points every time you shop that can be redeemed on coupons to spend across the store. On top of that, you’ll receive a $5 gift card to spend each month, exclusive access to events and sales, plus an extra 10% more when you trade in your old games and consoles. Membership costs $14.99 but you get all of this back through reward points and coupons.
- Check the clearance sale: The clearance section at GameStop is regularly updated with new products - and it’s here where you can usually find some of the biggest discounts on the site. It can be a real mixed bag of goods, with everything from games to PC peripherals and toys all included. It should be your first port of call if you’re after a bargain.
- Trade in for extra savings: If you’ve got a pile of old games or consoles that you no longer play then consider trading them in at GameStop to get money off future purchases. Trade-in values change all the time, but it’s a good way to turn unused items into money to spend on the next big release or a brand-new console. If you’d prefer cash, the trade-in value is usually about 20% lower than store credit. However, PowerUp Rewards Pro members get an extra 10% on trade-ins, too.
