Using GameStop PUR $5 certificates on digital currency was a popular slick deal, turning a $15 membership into a $45 profit.
Effective immediately, $5 monthly reward certificates are no longer applicable to digital currency. I just tried to use it in store and was told it no longer works and I have linked a post from someone posting the internal memo.
Hopefully this PSA can save people some gas or rile up some protests from customers to change their policy.

Same here. Bummer cause I just extended it for an additional year last time I was in cause I thought it was totally worth it. Now I am not so sure. At least it was only $10.
Also did this with Best Buy's deal for Big Brain Academy for $15. Brought it to $10 with my GameStop coupon. Pretty good for a new sealed game that released 2 weeks prior.
That's still digital currency.

He's likely referring to how some digital games are actually just currency for the store front, especially common on Xbox. When you buy the digital game it doesn't actually give you the game but enough Xbox credit to cover the cost. Some users are having success finding games like this to use their coupon.
Some people have pointed out for the above, the game has to be greater than $5.01. If your total balance is zero it won't let you check out.

GameStop price matches but people have had very poor experiences trying to do so.
