It may be hard to believe, but the holiday season is upon us. Alongside pumpkin spice lattes, Christmas trees, and delicious feasts, it’s also the time to make sure you’ve got your gifts ready for the loved ones in your life. If any of those loved ones happen to be fans of games, collectibles, or anything else in the tech world, GameStop Pro is the membership you’ve been waiting for.
For just $25 per year, GameStop Pro gives you $70 in value for simply signing up, as well as an extra 5% off select items or higher trade-in credit for the duration of your membership. As if that wasn’t good enough, if you join in the month of October, your membership will pay for itself on New Year’s. How? Well, let us explain.
Every new GameStop Pro member instantly gets a $10 welcome reward, and you will also get $5 more in November, December, and January. That means you will not only have earned back the cost of GameStop Pro, but you’ll also have credits to put towards Super Mario Wonder or Forza Motorsport or Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 and make someone’s holiday just that much more special and fun.
Now that you’ve already had GameStop Pro basically pay for itself, you can take advantage of its many other benefits, including the extra 5% off you get on all collectibles, trading cards, toys, and apparel. Some of the items in those categories are of the smaller variety and can make the perfect stocking stuffers or the extra cherry on top of an already great gift haul. You also get an additional 5% off of all pre-owned video games, consoles, accessories, and tech.
If you have old games lying around that are just collecting dust on your shelves, being a GameStop Pro member will get you an extra 10% store credit or cash when you choose to trade them in. This, alongside the welcome and monthly rewards, will let you not only check off that holiday gift list, but also potentially get yourself that game you’ve been wanting for so long, whether that’s Mortal Kombat 1, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, or The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom.
Additionally, GameStop Pro members get access to Pro exclusive deals, drops, and Pro Weeks. These vary and occur at different times throughout the year, but the current offerings include a buy one, get two free on all clearance items and access to refurbished Steam Decks. That means you can save anywhere from $79 - $130 off a Steam Deck and take your massive library of PC games with you wherever you go!
GameStop Pro Offers Year-Round Benefits to Help You Get Exactly What You Want
While GameStop Pro is obviously great for the holidays, it really is beneficial year-round. Alongside continuing monthly rewards, members will also receive a digital Game Informer subscription and 2% back in rewards on every purchase you make in-store or online. There is also a 5% discount on GameStop brand products and GameStop Product Protection Plans in-store for those who want peace of mind when making big purchases.
In regard to the rewards, GameStop Pro members can earn, as we mentioned, 2% back in rewards, or 20 points per dollar, on almost everything they buy at a GameStop store or online. If you want to pick up a Nintendo Switch - OLED Model: Mario Red Edition to go along with Super Mario Wonder, you’ll get back 7,000 points for spending the $349.99 the system costs. This means you’ll have an extra $7 you can put towards picking up another Switch game like Super Mario RPG or Detective Pikachu Returns.
To use your rewards, head to your local GameStop and a store associate will help you with any questions you may have. It’s also important to note that rewards can even go towards another year of GameStop Pro AND you’ll get 5,000 points ($5) every time you renew your membership, which makes the decision to stay a member just that much easier. If you prefer, you can also go to the online Rewards Center to redeem your points for whatever you’d like, including a 5,000 points coupon that equals a $5 credit.
Whether you need some help for the holiday season or simply love being rewarded for purchasing the things you love, GameStop Pro is a valuable membership to add to your collection. As a reminder, for just $25 per year, members get $70 of value for signing up, 10% extra trade credit, 5% off a whole lot of new and used items, at least four Pro Weeks per year alongside a ton of other deals that will pop up, a digital subscription to Game Informer, 2% back in rewards, and more.
