GameStop Pro Week B1G1 Free Video Game Deal Is About To End
06/09/2023 10:24 am EDT
Recently, GameStop revealed that it will replace the Power Up Rewards program with a new offering called GameStop Pro. This change will eliminate some previous features while activating new ones, but the most significant adjustment will be the price increase to $25 per year. Naturally, many gamers weren't thrilled with the change, but GameStop is hoping to covert them by offering the new Pro membership for the same $14.99 / year that they were paying previously. They are also sweetening the offer through tomorrow, June 10th with a Pro Week sale that offers buy one, get one free video games, buy two, get one free deals on toys and collectibles, and more.
You can shop the GameStop Pro Week sale right here. Some highlights include B1G1 free games for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and Nintendo Switch with titles like Pokemon Scarlet and Pokemon Violet, Pokemon Sword and Shield, Hyrule Warriors, Super Mario Party, and Gotham Knights. On the collectibles side, there are loads of B2G1 free deals on Pokemon TCG sets, Marvel Legends figures, Funko Pops and more. You'll also get an additional 5% off your purchase when you join GameStop Pro. Just keep in mind that you have until June 27th to take advantage of the $14.99 offer here at GameStop, after which the price will increase to $25.
The June 27th date marks the official start of the GameStop Pro era. The new program will come with the following benefits:
- Take $5 off one item of your choice per month ($60 per year in savings). Note that "these coupons cannot stack or be used with other promotions. The coupon cannot be used on gift cards, taxes/fees, downloadable content ("DLC"), digital (online) gaming/virtual currencies, digital game downloads, non-fungible tokens ("NFTs"), a Pro Membership, or reservations."
- $10 welcome reward on signup
- Get an additional 5% off all pre-owned, collectibles, trading cards, toys, apparel, clearance, GameStop products, and protection plans
- 10% extra trade credit
- Pro exclusive deals and drops
- 2% back in points rewards (20 points will be accumulated for every U.S. dollar spent – excluding the cost of a Pro Membership and gift cards)
There are definitely ways to come out ahead with this program, especially at the $14.99 intro price, but there are caveats. Making gift cards off limits with new GameStop Pro membership is one of them, as is the $79 free shipping threshold. Of course, you can always kick the tires for a year to see if it's worth spending $25 on at renewal.
If you're wondering what happens to your points from the previous program, check out the following passage from their GameStop Pro Terms and conditions:
- Up through November 30, 2023, points are valid for one (1) year from date of posting to or recording on the Member's GameStop Pro Account provided the Member remains active in the Program. In this paragraph only, "active" is defined as making at least one purchase or trade in every 12-month period. If at least one qualifying purchase or trade is made every 12 months, the expiration date of the accumulated points is extended for 12 months from the date of the qualifying purchase. If a qualifying purchase or trade is not made within 12 months, all accumulated points shall be forfeited and the Membership is subject to closure at GameStop's discretion. Additionally, downgrade to GameStop Account for failure to renew will not result in the loss of accumulated points, except where a qualifying purchase or trade is not made within 3 months.
- Starting December 1, 2023, points are valid for one (1) year from date of accumulation (that is, the date of when the points are posted to or recorded on the Member's Account provided the Member remains active in the Program. "Active" is defined as the Member having a current GameStop Pro Membership in good standing with a qualifying purchase in the past twelve (12) months). All of Member's points, which include points the Member has previously accumulated prior to December 1, 2023, will expire one (1) year from the date of accumulation. For example, all of Member's points accumulated before December 1, 2022 would expire on December 1, 2023. If a qualifying purchase is not made within 12 months, all accumulated points shall be forfeited and the Membership is subject to closure at GameStop's discretion.
