I have a PowerUp membership with GameStop. I'd monthly, walk into my local GameStop and ask for $5 of Microsoft currency.
So by the end of the year I'd have $60 to use in credit, having paid $15 for the membership.
Today the employee told me that starting in February '23, you could not just buy $5 of Microsoft or Nintendo currency without something else (no mention of Sony).
He did say for example, I could buy a $10 card/code and only pay $5 for it (using my $5 monthly powerup reward). But I could no longer just get a $5 code printed out on my receipt only using the $5 reward. He said they were just told last week so this is very new.
If this ends up to be incorrect and its one wrong employee giving me bad info, mods feel free to delete. But its what they told me and I know a bunch in this community use the same strategy to maximize their PowerUp benefits.

So it sounds like some change is definitely on the horizon, but no one knows the exact details.
I personally don't plan to renew my pro membership expiring next month. I just don't have the luxury to play game anymore.
So I found this thread and figured I'd let you all know. Oh well... it was too good to last forever.
Anyone else able to find other slick options to use the $5 coupon on? $10 codes for $5 are still pretty great, but that is a LOT of digital currency to spend for me each year.

50% off GC isn't totally terrible though

I am on hold with customer care. It's been 35 minutes and they said the wait time is minimum 60 minutes.
