The $5 Monthly Pro rewards cannot be applied to digital gift cards any more online.

It still works in store though when buying a physical gift card.

Thanks for the heads up. Not worth it for me to go to a store unless it's on the way.

Yupp same here, and it was working up until a couple days ago. So frustrating because I had just signed up at the end of December and this was going to be the first time I used the reward online, I wonder if I should file a chargeback with my credit card, either way didn't they do this last year and later on decided to get rid of changes after all the backlash?

Edit: Just seeing reward is also not applying to digital switch games, could this mean it's a glitch or has it been this way before?

Well this sucks. When I went to use my Jan $5 coupon the 2 stores close to me were out of stock of $10 gift cards for PSN and eShop and said they couldn't get one to print thru the register either. I hope they restock them and aren't trying to make $25 the minimum.

I just came from the store. They no longer let you use your monthly reward for a $5 Xbox gift card either.

I can understand because I was basically paying them $15 for $60 worth of Xbox gift cards each year.

Now I'll be paying them $75 each year for $120 worth of gift cards.

Still worth it to me.

Beyond just online gift cards getting pulled, the PUR seems to be entirely in store only now. At least, my Feb reward is suddenly in store only so I must presume.

Well that's a shame because there was a convenient way (exploit, really) of getting a double $5 reward that I used to pay for ~50% off PS+ and a ton of games last year ($135 for $250 in PSN wallet cards). Now it seems that'll be $75 for $125 unless they buckle and add online PUR back.

Not just digital gift cards. As far as I can tell ALL digital purchases, including games seem to be excluded online. Is anyone else able to get the coupon to apply to digital games?

Because if not, considering the website clearly states: "This coupon can be used in-store or online to get $5 off one eligible item." and "These coupons can be used on most physical and digital games."

...seems like Gamestop is just begging to be sued.
