If you love video games, collectibles, and anything else in the tech world, GameStop Pro is the membership that lets you get the most out of your passions! For $25 per year, you not only get $70 in value from signing up, but you also get an extra 5% off of a ton of items, more trade-in credit, and so much more. Whether you are new to the GameStop Pro membership or want to learn about the new benefits it has to offer, we’re here to break down some things to know!
Before we get into it, PowerUp Rewards Pro members should know that they are automatically a GameStop Pro. So no need to stress about re-enrolling. While before there were several Powerup Rewards Pro tiers at different prices, GameStop has combined every benefit into one $25/year membership.
What’s Included in a GameStop Pro Membership?
When you sign up for a GameStop Pro membership for $25 per year, you will automatically receive a digital Game Informer subscription and $70 in value! That value translates into a $10 welcome reward in the form of 10,000 points added to your account, and a $5 monthly Pro Reward equals $60 by the end of the year.
GameStop Pro members can use their rewards on new and pre-owned physical games, accessories, collectibles, consoles, and mostly everything else you can find at a GameStop in-store or online. This means you can get $5 off the newest games every month by simply being a member! Additionally, the monthly rewards can add a free pack of Pokemon cards to your order, help you get that Funko Pop! Jumbo of Goku and his Flying Nimbus, or help you get that extra controller to take multiplayer nights to the next level.
Besides the rewards you get for signing up, GameStop Pro members still enjoy the benefits from PowerUp Rewards. This includes 10% extra trade credit or cash (excluding tech) and 2% back in rewards on every purchase you make in-store or online. For example, you can trade in Pokemon Violet for the Nintendo Switch after you’ve already caught them all for $25 for non-Pros and $27.50 for Pros! That’s an extra $2.50 for just being a member!
As for the new benefits GameStop Pro offers, members also get 5% extra off all pre-owned video games, consoles, video game accessories, and tech. That 5% discount extends to collectibles, trading cards, toys, apparel, clearance items, GameStop brand products, and GameStop Product Protection Plans in-store. Right now, Pros can save $21.50 on the purchase of a pre-owned PS5 meaning they can always save on things like Pokemon cards every day. That means you can pre-order the Pokemon Trading Card Game: Scarlet and Violet 151 Collection Ultra-Premium Collection and save $6 which you could then put towards another pack of cards!
Members will be able to look forward to at least four “Pro Weeks” per year that offer exclusive deals to those who have a GameStop Pro membership. While these Pro Weeks come at different times per year and include different offers, past offers include $20 off Xbox controllers, $40 off Xbox Series S bundles, $50 off PS4 consoles, buy one, get one on new video games, and buy two, get one on all collectibles.
How Do Points Work for GameStop Pro Members?
GameStop Pro members can earn 2% back in rewards, or 20 points per dollar, on almost everything they buy at a GameStop store or online. If you’ve decided it’s time to pair The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom with a Nintendo Switch OLED for $349.99, you’ll get back 7,000 points. This means you’ll have $7 you can put towards picking up another game like Pikmin 4 or the upcoming Mortal Kombat 1.
Oh, and did we mention you get 10,000 points ($10!) for becoming a GameStop Pro and 5,000 points ($5!) every time you renew your membership? Because you do!
To use your rewards, all you have to do is head to your local GameStop and a store associate will help you redeem your rewards. They can even go towards another year of GameStop Pro! 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!
TL:DR, GameStop Pro gives its members a ton of benefits for $25 a year, such as $70 of value for signing up. You also get 10% extra trade credit, 5% off a ton of items, at least four Pro Weeks a year, a digital subscription to Game Informer, 2% back in rewards, and more.
So, whether you are an old or new GameStop fan, GameStop Pro is the newest membership to help you save a ton of money on the things you love!
