Or just buy games with your rewards credit card, return them for a cash refund, then pay off your credit card bill with the cash.
You can return new games if they are unopened, used games within 7 days. You get free points and GameStop foots the bill for the credit card fee.
Not sure if it's illegal, but definitely a dick move.

- fiatmoney 13y agoEvery store I've heard of refunds credit card purchases to the card in question, not cash (although with a no-receipt you can sometimes exchange it for store credit, & possibly sell that at a smaller discount than the rewards payoff), and every credit card I've ever heard of doesn't give you rewards if the charges are reversed (either because of a refund or a chargeback). Many stores (eg, Home Depot) also track their customers' refunds and will stop allowing you to return merchandise if you're an outlier.
- tehwebguy 13y agoRight, but GameStop lets you return credit card purchases for cash. Just last month I returned a used game that I didn't like they gave me cash even though the original purchase was with a credit card. My guess is that since they've already eaten the processing % to debit your card they don't want to pay it again to credit your card. Not sure if large scale retail still pays on the reverse, I'm assuming.
