Question 1

Can I use a GameStop gift card to buy a Steam, PlayStation or Xbox card?

Accepted Answer

No, and this is the one that catches people out. GameStop sells those cards, but a GameStop gift card cannot be used to buy other gift cards or third-party currency like PlayStation Network or Xbox credit. Try it online and you will hit an error at checkout. Everything else GameStop stocks is fair game, so plan to spend the credit on games, consoles or merchandise rather than on another card.

Question 2

Can I use a GameStop gift card toward a trade-in?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you are trading in games or hardware at a US GameStop store, a gift card can go toward the transaction as extra payment on top of your trade credit. So if your trade-in does not fully cover what you are buying, the gift card balance can close the gap. This only applies in-store, since trade-ins happen at the counter rather than online.

Question 3

Can I put a GameStop gift card towards a pre-order?

Accepted Answer

Yes. GameStop lets you use gift card balance on pre-orders the same way you would on anything else in the catalogue, whether you are reserving online or in a store. It is a common way to lock in an upcoming release without paying out of pocket. If the pre-order total is more than your balance, you cover the difference with another payment method when the order is placed.

Question 4

My card has no PIN, or the PIN won't work online. What now?

Accepted Answer

Online orders at GameStop need both the 19-digit card number and the 4-digit PIN. If your card has no PIN, it can only be used in a store, not on the website. If the PIN is there but keeps failing, re-enter it carefully, since the characters are easy to misread, and check you selected the gift card option rather than the promo code box. If it still will not apply online, you can always spend it in a US GameStop store, where the PIN is not needed.

Question 5

Can I use a GameStop gift card online on pre-owned games, not just new ones?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The credit works across GameStop's full range, and that includes its pre-owned games, consoles and accessories as well as new stock. Pre-owned is one of the main reasons people shop GameStop, so a gift card is an easy way to build a library for less. You can mix new and pre-owned items in the same order and let the balance cover whatever it reaches.
