Well, I am recommending this to everyone because I know no one likes to spend 60 dollars for every game they want to play. Here is a little something I have learned to do and it is completely foolproof and works 100%. Its actually funny how I found out about it also. I was just bored one day and read the back of a Gamestop receipt, and boy am I glad I read it. I read that you have 7 days to return used merchandise for a full refund. So, I tried something. I went to my local Gamestop and bought a few used games. I played through their storylines, and just returned them within a few days. They gave my my money back, in cash, no store credit or anything. So, I decided to keep doing this. All you do is keep the receipt and you are good to go. I have played about 40 games and haven't paid anything for them, except the gas to get to the stores. The best part is that you can rent the same game over and over again essentially. I "borrowed" Call of Duty - World At War 3 different times, and Skyrim twice. Here are some tips:
Seriously, give it a try. It is awesome. When a game sucks to, you don't waste any money. |

Course. Everyone should know of such things. Saves everyone money and allows them to play many games. |

This is a pretty clever loophole you found. Hopefully they won't close it up if it gets too popular, so I'm going to try this soon. Thanks! |

This isn't a loop around, constant abusers of this actually will be banned from the store. I worked in a store for 4 years.. Trust me :P |

http://www.gamestop.com/gs/help/Returns.aspx Your local GameStop employees (like most) simply don't care. They could stop you if they wanted, but they just like making you think that you're playing them. Edited by Cal, Jul 2 2012, 07:32 AM.

You need to be careful because you will attract Corporate heat on your store. There's an entire subgroup of Gamestop HQ that monitors this *****. They will have you banned even if the store doesn't want to :P The District manager will be more than likely do it. |

Can't the emPloyees get In trouble as well for continuing allowing it? It's costing the business money, even if just a little, businesses see money as money doesn't matter how much |

As much money as GameStop makes off of us customers; they will be fine. From pre-orders to us selling them back games which they pay us 40-50 dollars less than we paid(like the GameFly commercial states; nine dollars lol)...then they turn around and sell it for 40 or 50 bucks. Or 54.99(used). Blah. I didn't bother exploiting this little return policy because I too have witnessed a guy get banned from the store, honestly it was funny but sad. I have been searching for a new replacement for Gamestop but unfortunately the alternatives aren't that good. It's only a matter of time though before they're put out of business or obtain some major competition. |

I Didn't say they wouldn't be fine but business owners especially big business like this are usually greedy, not always but ussually so even small amounts of money can get employees in trouble |

Yeah, they can. Esp if the customer is banned from returns and the employee does it anyway.. Corporate is a lot more active in the stores than people realize. I've seen shop lifters get arrested without us ever knowing they shop lifted. HQ Reviews the security footage and stuff.. kinda crazy. lol |

this should be done in moderation, so they dont see it and revise their return policy. |
