By Ghostwolfe

Gamestop is the leading franchise in new and used game sales througout the United States, the offer tens of thousands of titles at prices well beneath the competition. Gamestop also offers a unique rewards system called the POWER-UPS reward system and with it you spend $14.99 for the year and get 10% off all used titles and a year of game informer magazine. This all adds up to great savings and benefits that you can only get with the power-ups card. If you signup for the power-ups rewards system you can also sign up for updates and their mailing list that will send you great discount information along with power-up members only deals.

Another nice thing about the power-ups rewards card is you can use it online at gamestop.com aswell and earn points that way and get discounts. If you are an extreme gamer who buys games at least three to four times a month the card is well worth the savings it offers along with all the benefits as well. Gamestop is also a great place to trade in your used and unwanted video games as you can get credit for them for purchasing games in store. You will also get more for your trade for being a power-ups reward member.

Not Just Games Anymore

Gamestop does not just sell video games anymore, you can also purchase tablets that are customized with games on them. Each tablet has different games on them and you would have to check out to see which one has the games you want. The tablets from there also perform as normal tablets and can be used for everyday personal or business use. You can also purchased refurbed Iphones through both the stores and the website. With your power-up rewards card and the points that you have accumulated you can also go to the rewards website and use your points to purchase exclusive deals from call of duty: elite dog tags to gear, posters and much more. The more points you have the more you can puchase the rewards program is a great benefit to gamers who spend money every month at gamestop.

Prices and certification

For the most part, gamestop has some of the lowest prices on used video games, consoles and more. Though it can be annoying to purchase a used title that has only been out for a few months and it is only five dollars cheaper than the new one. Popularity in the games matter as they price them accordingly to trend, so sometimes it is better to just get the new game especially ones that have an online pass in them that you need to play multiplayer games.

Another benefit about being a gamestop user is that they are certified to fix the consoles from both Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo and if gamestop fixes your console it does not void any warranties on the system. This is a benefit for anyone who doesn't want to send their console into the manufacturer to be fixed and wait months to get them back.

Final Thoughts

Gamestop has been good to me over the years and that is one reason why I continue to take advantage of my power-ups membership. To me this is a great way to save money, get the games I want and also get points to purchase unique items from the rewards website. Though there are flaws in these deals like any place, but most of the time with your receipt in hand they will honor your return with a full refund or store credit. I haven't had an issue with employees as the ones I have dealt with over the years are knowledgeable and wont try and sell you something you don't want to play. They listen to what you are looking for and will suggest games from personal experiences.

If you want to reserve an upcoming title in the store it only costs you $5.00 to do so and you can pick it up at the reserved location or any other location. I have done this a few times reserved a title in one place and picked it up at another store, but this does go by the amount of the title they have in. As with any used purchase you have to be careful on the used games you get and make sure they are not scratched, gamestop does not test the games that they purchase from consumers and for this reason you might get something that doesn't work. If you take advantage of the power-ups rewards card you will gain points everytime you purchase or trade something in, than you can take those points and spend them on unique items that you want and can't find in any store anymore.

All and all I have been happy with gamestop and will continue to use there service as long as I need it and I do enjoy reaping the rewards..
