Forums - Gaming - Quick question for Gamestop employees: How much info do you guys keep?

You could just buy from Amazon, at least then you could see and edit the creepy lists they keep of you.

The best thing to do to avoid them knowing your gaming habits is to buy obscure and last gen games. If you buy games like Evergrace, Tenchu shadow assassins, Nights 2, Aqua teen hunger force zombie ninja pro am, GIANTS Citizen Kabuto, Zack and Wiki. Once they see a purchased list like that they just don't give a frak anymore because they are clueless about 90% of the titles I buy from them.

Thought the biggest mistake you made was buying Onechanbara Bikini Samurai Squad, everyone knows that Bikini Zombie Slayers is the superior version.

*hangs head in shame*

I.....I bought that one, too.

What are the benefits of this rewards card? I've never heard of it. Mind you, I am from Canada so I don't know if it is available here.

Every time you buy something from Gamestop, you get these points.  You can use your points to get free stuff.  The problem is that, unless you spend an insane amount of money there, you'll probably buy ten video games and have enough money to buy a Mario Keychain or something.  A guy like me who has spent a retarded amount of money has enough points to get some pretty cool stuff.  I'm saving my points for when they announce the Wii U price.

I'd post a link to the rewards catalog but it won't let me open the catalog unless I'm signed in.  I'm paranoid that if I post the link, you guys would be signed in as me (not likely but still) and then use up all of my points.  I've got 40, 444 points as of  yesterday.  I can get almost anything!

WTF******K O_O , i just dont know what to say O_O.


Seems like a lot but keep in mind I've spent several thousand dollars at Gamestop.  That's probably $40 in real money (enough to get 90% of the things in their catalog but I'm not exactly getting over, either.  It's just a nice bonus.).  Gamestop loves me!

How many points do you get on average? (we'll say every new release full retail price game) I'm curious, I like free stuff.

I wonder if they sell of this info like Google does... I like it when people tell other businesses all about me.



BenVTrigger on 05 August 2012

No we dony sell any if your info.

The only reason adress is saved is so that power up members can get GameInformer

Also last 5 purchases are saved simply so that our employees can better help a customer and offer games that are similar to your likes

So is there a fixed list of stuff you can get in exchange for reward points? In Game(UK) we can spend reward points on anything they sell instore or online.
