I did this online a few nights ago. Still no sign of my 10k signup points, nor my first $5 cert to use for this month. Recently I bought a game called Lost Judgment which came with a $10 reward, I had to contact support just to get that issued to me as well once many days had gone by and it was never rewarded as it should have been. I figured this membership would quickly pay for itself and it's the only gaming rewards around these days since GCU ended, but it's clear much of GameStop as a business is a mess right now. There was a game on sale that I wanted, and I figured I'd get these 10k points and $5 monthly reward right away and I'd buy the game. Now I'm willing to bet by the time they get my points straightened out, the sale price on the game will expire and I won't be able to get what I wanted.

As others have also mentioned, the $5 monthly rewards can't stack because they expire, and they also cannot be used to preorder something, they have to be used on something currently in stock. Which is a negative to me, easiest way to make sure the rewards don't get wasted in a month where I might not want anything is to just preorder something that I know I want in the future. I hear PSN cards don't come in anything less than $10, so if you're mainly a PlayStation gamer you can't just get your monthly $5 in PSN credit either unless you add cash to it.

Small print terms about the PowerUp Pro says you can request to cancel/refund your membership within 7 days. I may do that as I am disappointed already. (Oh, also the previous game I bought online had a release date of Friday Sep 24th and I received it Weds the 29th. For a business that caters to gamers, they should know it's not fun to be 5 days behind everyone else who starts playing a game on release day. The package didn't even start moving until Monday after release.)

So I'll be wasting my Monday morning getting on their live chat that is only available on weekdays to ask where all these rewards are. If that doesn't get sorted immediately, I'll be inquiring about the terms of refunding my membership, and if they mess around with that, I'll contact my credit card about the $15 charge I used to join. I recently got a PS5 and figured I'll be buying more physical games because of that and that this would be worth doing, but I'm already frustrated with GS service.

This is what I do every month.
It tends to not let me use the credit on nintendo e-cards most of the time, sometimes yes, but I do it in-store every month without issue applied to the $10 e-card.

I was redeeming my $5 yesterday when the employee told me my pro subscription doesn't expire until February but I could renew that day for $10 in rewards.

It's been about 28 hrs and still nothing. I did receive about 400 pts for my purchase + renewal. I'll update if anything changes.

Catch is you have to go in-store. When you buy something in-store, they'll ask if you want insurance, trade in your phone etc. That's about it. If you can make it to the store once a month and don't mind the verbal ads, then this is worth it. I did it 2 years ago and used some of the accumulated Microsoft credit toward a series S

Be aware those monthly $5 coupons come with stipulations. And none of the stipulations are clearly defined anywhere.

Try to do this in store if possible. Support the reps that work there, it's hard enough for them there.
I would, but man its rough. Last few times I've been there, just one person working there and when I was trading in my PS4, a line of like 4 people formed, it was awkward because I was also trading in like 8 games and two controllers. Always feel like there's a wait, I hate going because of that.

If GameStop goes out of business in 6 months then you're screwed, but it's only $30 if you sign up for two years. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

More than worth it, already got my $ worth when they ran the last Pro Mem promo a few months ago. Walk in, ask associate for $5 card, walk out.

So just to confirm, the $5 monthly reward can be applied to gift cards for PSN, or Microsoft? Can I do that online, or must it be in store?

You can ask for $5 digital Xbox card, they print you a code on receipt. Not sure about PS or Nintendo.
They do it with Nintendo e-card as well. I actually didn't know they do it with MS. Thank you.
