Deal Details
Got an email from Launching Deals support about this Winter Sale. It matches the FP deal from back in August. I ended up redeeming this and loading it on a gameplay card on a separate day then I actually used it (1/2 price Wednesday) for a pretty slick deal.

"EXPIRES: 2/28/2025"
Does this mean the offer ends then or you must use the card by then

"If the value is being added to a new Power Card® purchase a $3 activation fee is required and 15 game chips will be added. Once game play is loaded onto the Power Card®, the game play does not expire"

Looks like you found the quote. Does not expire once loaded.

Of note, I wasn't charged a $3 fee for a new card (and still got the 15 chips), but that's probably a YMMV depending on the Dave & Busters location.

There have been other gofun deals (AMC theaters) posted here that went FP. There were similar questions on the deal from August, but that was direct on Launching Deals' website (guess this is an affiliate or subsidiary). Can't guarantee anything on these small deal websites, but I personally didn't have a problem.

All values purchased will be sent in $20 denominations, which equates to fewer chips than a $60 or $100
```

It looks like these are not giftcards. Not sure how many chips $40 dollar card will get.

For my store (Milpitas)

Costco $100 giftcard (cost $80)+ 27 dollars = 905 chips => 0.118 per chip

Let's assume it gives us an actual $40 dollar card (not 2 of $20 stated in the condition)
This $40 dollar card deal gives ~195 chips. (In app $35 = 165 chips, $45 = 225 chips, AVG= 195)
chips) which is 24/195 = 0.123 per chip. This deal is not as good as costco.

Costco deal is fine, but I wouldn't say it's necessarily better. You're forced to buy 905 chips. You need to have a Costco nearby, with the deal, and have paid for the membership. There's no such stipulations with this deal. It's 100 chips per $20, so 200 chips for $40. $0.118/chip vs. $0.12 per chip is splitting hairs. If anything, paying roughly the same for a smaller increment is superior than being forced to buy 905 chips to get a discount.

These are more of a coupon than a gift card.

Much better deal. Buy and get and save your qr codes. Go not on a wed and make sure they enter your phone number before each card to get your loyalty bonus. Once you have the chips, you can use them even on wednesdays.

This is the deal I got, and got another $5 off. Can someone explain the process of how to redeem? I'm a bit confused because I bought them to gift to a coworker for her and her son. So I'm needing to explain to her how to redeem

They'll have to redeem in store. There's a kiosk and you may need a manager. I'd recommend telling her to get the app and she should be set

But the email GoFun sent to was mine. I haven't set a password yet. I was waiting learn how to redeem. I guess I need to open the GoFun portion and do everything online that I can and then she can take the codes to a manager to get the cards? Does GoFun send a code?

Yes. They'll send you a certificate. You can forward that and they'll scan the QR code at the kiosk.
