GameStop Employee Discount

Thinking about becoming a GameStop employee? And want to know what the discount is?

I’ve been there… Working retail is sometimes worth it when you get a tremendous discount. For me, it was Starbucks. Getting a great discount as a retail worker felt like I was getting money back!

My experience with employee discounts…

I went into my local GameStop and asked one of the gentlemen behind the counter if they appreciated the company’s employee discount program… I wasn’t shocked to find out that he was quite happy with it. He did say the medium to high hourly wages made it worth it. And the discount was the icing on the cake!

How much of a discount do employees get at Gamestop?

If you are working for Gamestop, you are entitled to a discount when buying any of their products. The discount Gamestop employees get is 10%. Here are some interesting things to know about the discount being offered:

• The 10% discount is applicable for all games. For used games and used gaming accessories, the discount is 15%.
• This 10% discount does not apply to new game consoles.
• You should have worked for a minimum of 1 week as an employee to be eligible for the employee discount. Reportedly during the holiday season, the company can insist on 30 days of employment before offering the discount.
• The discount is available to all employees, whether they work part-time or full-time.
• You can use the discount to buy any of the products on sale. However, it cannot be used with other offers. So, if a game or console is being sold under a special offer or is already discounted, you cannot get the employee discount.
