Thread Details
Ok, look, I know PSAs suck, and I'm sorry for posting it in Hot Deals (especially this late), but I've mentioned this in some of the Gamestop deal threads, but feel like it's important enough to post on it's own since I have not seen it announced on SD at all - and I searched all forums.
Gamestop has decided to make a number of anti-consumer changes to their Gamestop Pro Membership.
They announced this in an email on Oct 17th. I assumed it would have been posted on SD, but it hasn't. Hopefully everyone can redeem their points ASAP.

- Any points more than a year old expire on Dec 1. Maybe you can chance it and use them tomorrow, but I wouldn't try.
- As mentioned in other threads, the $5 monthly reward will "really" not be applicable on giftcards starting Dec 1. They tried to implement this in the past, but had enough negative feedback to retract it... it looks like it will really take effect this time.
- Any points in your account will expire immediately when your membership expires.
- The membership cost has increased to $25/yr

I redeemed them last night, placed an online order today (to use my final $5 GS Pro credit) and plan on trading Mario Wonder back in immediately, along with a few other games that are like $1 to get the bonus credit.
The store associate is correct that any points EARNED today (12/1/23) will expire in 1 year (12/1/24), but my post is really about any points that were already a year old.
Looking on reddit some dude had 125k points that were earned over a decade. He was not pleased, especially with GS blocking Point redeemed vouchers on virtual currency.
Oh,ok. Then in that case, I better redeem what i can in certificate form today. Looked all last night and couldn't find anything. Their pricing is just so abysmal now. I have 36k and change. I presume to maximize and use all on one item, do a $25,$10, and $1?
