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Effective immediately, $5 monthly reward certificates are no longer applicable to digital currency.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.

For many months, I've used my $5 credit on a $10 Nintendo e-shop card so this is a bit disappointing. I suppose I will have to find something else to spend the $5 on..
Just thought I'd give a heads up to others who spend their $5 on the shop credits every month.

It costs $5.49 so would only end up 49 cents after purchase but would it also give Microsoft credit rather than the actual "battle packs"?
EDIT-I took the plunge. It does NOT work. If The Crew works stick with that.

This is the oddest repost I have ever seen.
I think you missed the joke.
Doesn't work. Stick with The Crew. I don't know what the stipulations are for what codes turn to credit. Maybe it's games only and not add ons?🤷

I'm honestly not sure why it worked for me, but figured I'll post it here. Maybe it's not rolled out everywhere. Worth going in the store to check.
I posted the same comment on Reddit, and someone said that they might have overridden the system to honor it. That's certainly possible. Though the person didn't say anything to that effect. And just literally punched in my phone number and was ready to check out in seconds. Seemed like any regular transaction each month. Maybe he knew what's up and just overrode the system quickly. Not sure.
I didn't allude to knowing anything about the $5 reward not working for people and neither did he mention anything. It didn't seem like he had to do something special, but of course, I wouldn't know. It was all very smooth, quick and courteous. I was pleasantly surprised.
