Starting tomorrow, you can't use a GameStop gift card to buy a digital card, ex Playstation Sotre, eshop, etc

Kinda surprised this took so long as it's pretty much the standard at all big retailers
And next month, you can't use the $5 promo anymore for digital cards either

I only used the $5 promo for Playstation cards, so this means I won't be bothering to renew this.

What about when people are returning roach-infested consoles, home of a smoker and now tar-colored consoles, and bad actors who buy broken consoles and then swap out the serial numbers with new consoles?
Do the work to get it working and sell it again? The costs of the warranties should be more than able to fix them. Or, have a disclaimer that anything damaged outside normal wear and tear won’t be covered and be honest about it up front? If anything appears tampered with, don’t accept it? There’s options.

Inside of 3 years none of it matters because that's when consoles complete the digital only transfer. PS5 slim is going to be digital only with optional accessory disc drive. Xbox has a similar refresh coming.

Probably still have 1 or 2 more gens for Nintendo. People like to complain about them being behind the other two, but in some cases that's a good thing.
They were last to jump on the DLC train, last to charge for online play, and will probably be last to drop physical games.

Well I need to use my points ASAP and use my last $5 this month looks like. I get the $10 PSN cards when I remember. Maybe missed 3 months this year, I will not renew in February.

FWIW, I was able to trade in a couple games and use that credit on a Steam gift card. Not sure if that will go away next month along with using the $5 coupon.

Well, you still can't use GS gift cards, but I know some people were wondering if trade credit could be used. At least through November you can.

I heard December 7 is when it goes into effect. Gift cards / trade credit can't be used on digital items.

Thanks for the tip. I got a Left 4 Dead I want to trade in. Will see if the computers allow it.

Confirmed that the $5 monthly certificate won’t work on digital currency anymore. Tried today in store. Instead I bought a Bulbasaur plush for $9.49. I won't be renewing next time in Feb.

They gave me the runaround with my refund of subscription, said they were doing it and wait 2 weeks, then after 2 weeks said i had to do it in store, then store said they couldn't do it. Their support rep online just told me to dispute it if the store couldn't refund so I did and got my money back already
