Gamestop PowerUp Pro changes.

So have you guys heard about this?  https://www.gamestop.com/poweruprewards/  Powerup pro is changing to give you a $5 coupon every month as well as a subscription to game informer.  I was amazed that video game magazines still exist to be honest.  The $5 coupon is interesting.... apparently it doesn't roll over and you can't use it on used stuff BUT if you read the fine print that is supposed to change in the spring.  Also I was reading on reddit and while Nintendo and xbox gift cards aren't working you CAN buy playstation cards with them.  So if nothing else one could bulk up their ps store credit... that'd be handy for VR games since a lot seem to be digital only.  Anyway, assuming you don't let the coupons expire that's $60 of coupons for $20 plus a magazine subscription. 

I normally hate these rewards programs but I'm thinking of biting on this one.  What do you guys think of it?

Eh... it's $20 and Gamestop rarely has good deals so in the long run I don't think I'd use it.  I get that you can spend $20 to get $60 and a subscription to Game Informer but it's not worth the hassle/time to me especially if I need to find something to buy every month for $5.

Might be fun just to get a game magazine again for $20/year.

Back when they were FuncoLand or Babbages or whatever they gave me a subscription to that thing that probably lasted a decade.  Never paid for it.   :dunno

About once a year, usually in the middle of summer, Gamestop will do a free shipping promotion.  That's when I pick up 99 cent PS4 games for their cases.

Gamestop is refusing to let me log in and the password reset emails aren't being sent.

That was my thought.  I held onto Nintendo Power far longer than most.... I was in the fun club before the magazine even launched and I held onto my subscription until the original xbox came out (I didn't get a gamecube until a couple years later).  As for the coupons, I'm starting to cool on that idea.  Apparently I've got one in my wallet for downloading their app.... I can't get it to apply to anything, used or new.  If it's in store only that'd be a huge pain in the ass. 

As for your login... did you have a lot of credit on it or something?  I remember having issues with it a month or so back and I can't remember how I fixed it.
