FAQs
Can you get free shipping from GameStop?
Free shipping is only available at GameStop when you spend over $59. Orders will arrive between 1 - 3 days after dispatch. For any items below that price point, shipping costs vary depending on what you have ordered. You can see these shipping and handling fees in the cart.
What is GameStop Pro?
If you plan to shop at GameStop regularly then you should consider signing up to be a GameStop Pro member. This is GameStop’s paid rewards program, and being a member gives you a number of perks you won't get anywhere else. You’ll receive 5% across the brand's range, a $5 welcome discount as well as a new $5 coupon every month, 2% cashback on purchases, exclusive access to events and sales, free shipping on all orders worth $54 or more, and an extra 10% store credit or cash when you trade in your old games and consoles. Membership costs $25 per year, but the brand states that the rewards alone (excluding any purchase discounts) total $65 value each month.
What is GameStop’s returns policy?
Generally, you have 15 days from receiving your item to return or exchange it at GameStop. This drops to seven days for any second-hand items, or increases to 30 days for unopened PCs, laptops, monitors, software and hardware. Orders can be returned in-store for free (except orders worth $500 or more, which are final). However, returns will incur a fee of $8.99 (or $14.99 for consoles).
GameStop Saving tips
Check for clearance deals
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. Check in for up to 30% off.
Shop pre-owned tech
Don't need brand new tech? Shopping pre-owned means you'll have more items to choose from, as well as the odd chance for an extra 10% off versus the usual price. Pre-owned items are inspected before they're sold to make sure they're in resaleable condition, and you're also covered by a 30-day returns period and a 7-day money-back guarantee, so it's no extra risk versus buying new.
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.

How we source coupon codes
Whether it's through our affiliate networks, the depths of the world wide web, or our connections with big name brands, here at TechRadar we use every tool at our disposal to source the latest codes. Our coupons team updates each of our pages multiple times a week with the most recent deals, including exclusive coupons negotiated by our Commercial team. We also include the latest sales info directly from retailers to offer the most up-to-date discounts around.
How we test coupon codes
Each coupon you find on TechRadar has been tested before being uploaded by our dedicated Deals & Offers teams. You’ll see a range of offers, from free shipping to student discounts, with savings available on all kinds of products & services. To make sure every coupon is ready to use, we don’t list any user-specific or one-time codes.
We also include all relevant information about coupons, such as expiry dates and any terms & conditions, near the ‘Get Code’ button. You can see the details for an individual offer by clicking on the ‘Terms & Conditions’ text below the code and expanding the code area.
What to do if a coupon code doesn’t work
Although we do our best to ensure all listed codes are tried & tested, sometimes coupons expire or terms & conditions are changed before we can update pages. Our team works hard to make sure our coupons are active and work as intended, and should you encounter an issue when using one, we’ll work just as hard to help.
The best place to start is by checking the requirements. Click “View terms and conditions” to expand the code section and see any guidance on your chosen coupon. For example, you may need to meet a minimum spend, add other items to your basket to qualify for a multibuy offer, or confirm that your chosen code applies to the items in your basket (i.e. 10% off laptops).
If you’re still having issues using your code, you can email our customer service team on coupons.techradar@futurenet.com. Include as many details as possible - such as which code you used and which coupon page it’s listed on so our team can address your issue as fast as possible.
How we make money
When it comes to coupons, TechRadar earns money via a commission-based model. For every brand we have a coupon page for, we’ve negotiated a deal that means we earn a percentage of total basket value in commission back from every order.
Using this model means we can offer our coupons to our customers free of charge. You won’t pay any fees to add your chosen coupon to your basket - you’ll simply pay the final order total once your discount has been applied.
