So, last September I bought something at game stop, and I was there with my wife and kids (I don’t even remember what I was buying, maybe pre-ordering Splatoon 3?) and somehow I got talked into their stupid rewards program. Every month, they said, you get a $5 credit. Save those up for a year and that’s like getting a free $60 game!
Well, it turns out you can’t save them up. You have to buy something with them every month. Well, no worries, I just got a $5 nintendo eshop credit every month. Fine with me.
Today I went in to get my January $5 eshop credit. And… they won’t do that anymore. The minimum eshop credit you can buy from them is $10. So my free $5… cost me $5.
So angry. Oh well, at least I still get Game Informer. It’s cool to flip through when it shows up.
