GameStop PowerUp Rewards 

The PowerUp Rewards is a loyalty program created and owned by the shop GameStop. This program is completely free. The basic benefits provided by it are the accumulation of points with every in-store and online purchase. 

The program is currently available in the U.S. only and select GameStop stores participate in it. Likewise, applicants must be at least 13 years old to join. 

The way PowerUp Rewards works is the following:

Members get 10 points for every dollar spent. To get the points, members are supposed to provide their account number at the checkout (both in-store and online).  It takes from 24-48 hours to see points reflected on the member’s account.

This being said, joining GameStop’s loyalty program seems like a fair and simple way to earn points that enable members to use them on their next purchases. But this is not the only program promoted by GameStop. Keep on reading to discover a new level of reward!

A New Level of Reward: GameStop PowerUp Rewards Pro

GameStop wanted to create more value for its customers and so it designed the PowerUp Rewards Pro loyalty program. The program is based on the fact that GameStop customers want to be rewarded in different ways, so PowerUp Rewards offer multiple types of rewards, each for a specific type of customer. 

In contrast to the regular PowerUp Rewards program, the Pro version includes several benefits like:

A welcome gift certificate worth $5. Members earn twice as points for every dollar spent.  Ealy access to new products (console drops, collectibles, and more). A monthly $5 coupon (needs to be redeemed each month). A copy of the Game Informer Magazine (in physical or digital depending on the subscription).  The opportunity to support charity organizations.

The cost to upgrade to the Pro version of GameStop’s loyalty program depends on the chosen subscription:

$14. 99 (includes a digital copy of the Game Informer Magazine). $19. 99 (includes a physical copy of the magazine).
