Through its trade-in program, GameStop is expecting to give customers nearly a quarter of a billion dollars in cash or credit this season when buying their pre-owned video games, systems and accessories, as well as consumer electronics and interactive game figures.
“GameStop offers the best value and the most options to holiday shoppers this season. For example, there is significant untapped value in the unused games and electronics many of us have on hand,” said Kyle Leonard, vice president of GameStop’s trades and pre-owned business. “Our research tells us that 92 percent of gamers own games they no longer play and that two in five gamers are leaving upwards of $200 unclaimed by holding on to those games. Selling us your pre-owned games, consoles and consumer electronics gives you extra currency to apply to your gift buying budget. Trade more to save more.”
Gamers can receive guaranteed $30 buyback offers from GameStop on select new titles releasing through the end of the year.
Customers can find a complete list of trade-in values for game titles and electronics on GameStop’s mobile app on iOS and Android devices or by visiting www.gamestop.com/trade.
Customers also don’t have to let unwanted gift cards from other retailers go unredeemed, those gift cards can be exchanged or converted into cash at GameStop to bolster their budget. Customers can cash in unused or partially used gift cards at GameStop locations or exchange the card for a GameStop gift card in-store or online at www.gamestop.com/giftcardexchange.
Meanwhile, PowerUp Rewards loyalty program members are encouraged to redeem their reward points toward the purchase of products available in the PowerUp Rewards catalogue, including newly added items from ThinkGeek. PowerUp Rewards points are awarded for purchases and trades and can be redeemed for gaming gear, fun collectibles and great money-saving coupons. For information on PowerUp Rewards, visit www.PowerUpRewards.com.
GameStop is also offering other ways to help customers pay for their holiday gifts. The company recently announced its extended layaway program to allow customers to purchase some of the most sought after products while paying over time. Now through December 20, customers can reserve many of this year’s top holiday products including video game consoles, headsets and hard drives through GameStop’s layaway program. A $25 minimum deposit is required to start a layaway contract, and all layaways must be paid-off and picked-up at the store location where the original deposit was made by the end of operating hours on December 24, 2015.
For more information about the GameStop layaway program and to learn more about the products offered, speak to a local GameStop store Game Advisor or visit www.GameStop.com.
