The rep last month was a little optimistic about GAME's future so perhaps the social media arm of the company didn't know it was coming… http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/67713

But most of all, regardless of the rumour-mill, we’re sorry that GAME Australia may continue to be a source of unplanned spending. GAME Australia will continue to trade as normal and will keep providing our customers with the very best in gaming consoles, games, pre-owned titles and gaming accessories.

    TIME TO USE THOSE STORE CREDITS ASAP!!!

    edit: I've got like $30 sitting there… crap

    • Tal_Shiar on 14/05/2012 - 13:16

      Only need to spend $120 if I got it right? Smh

      • Trance N Dance on 14/05/2012 - 13:35

        $300 actually! It's good as gone for me now, unless I can find Dynasty Warriors 6/7 on the cheap.

          Sweet lord!

          Mate I reckon you should get into GAME today and see if you can get in before they start enforcing this.

          I'd love to… but I'm stuck with exams for the next week :(
          Besides it's only $30 and it's not like I want to grab anything right now other than pre-owned dynasty warriors (probably grab it cheaper from the UK new)

        • kirt on 14/05/2012 - 13:44

          Oh geez..I totally misread that as you having $300 store credit!

          I get it now - $30 in loyalty points which can be used for up to 10% of the purchase price?

        • bigosmallo on 14/05/2012 - 14:06

          @Trance N Dance; It's 25% for gift cards and store credit, 10% for rewards points.

          Mmmm I think I should've said it as $30 of points instead of store credit. I'm still used to the old rewards where when you hit 5000 points or whatever you got $25.50 or something in store credit mailed to you.

      nice prediction!

      I'm not surprised about this myself.

    After the Borders debacle, why would anyone be daft enough to buy anyone a gift voucher from ANY shop, when retailers can just refuse to honour the voucher without any warning at all?

    • Richfield on 15/05/2012 - 22:08

      You'd be pretty safe buying a Coles/Myer or Wish gift card. Just have to pick your mark.
