So I have a significant amount of Gamestop credit ($175 to be exact), and in February, that credit will be about a year old. I'm really not looking to purchase anything through Gamestop in the next few months, but I'm worried that the credit might expire. I know that gift cards usually expires after a year of purchase, but then again, the gamestop card isn't a gift card, and it's more like a membership card. Anyone have any experience keeping a high balance on your gamestop card after a significant amount of time?

All gamestop cards(gift cards, edge cards, new reward cards) never expire. Ive had people from 5 years ago bring in old cards and they worked perfectly fine.

The card your talking about is a store credit card, which is the same thing like all of our cards, they all work the same, no fee to buying them and they dont expire / depreciate in value

Don't quote me on this, but I thought I remembered the guy at GameStop telling me they DO expire... not the gift cards, but these do. I think. Could be totally wrong.

Nah dont listen to them. I work at gamestop and weve went through the policy several times. None of our cards expire besides the Edge card only if you have a game informer subscription. The credit on the card doesnt expire, but the subscription sticker does.

Cool, I have an Edge card, so the credits on that card doesn't expire? Thanks!

Now all I have to figure out is if I want to buy a Kinect for my gf and when friends come over to drink or if I want to preorder games like Portal 2 and Bulletstorm.

Thanks for the clarification! Either the employee was wrong or phrased it poorly (or I just completely misunderstood).

    • PowerToys is getting a new window management utility

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      PowerToys is getting a new window management utility by Taras Buria If you use PowerToys on Windows 11 or 10, you probably know that the app has quite a few utilities for window management. Fancy Zones, Always on Top, Crop and Lock, just to name a few. Soon, Microsoft will add another one, and fans of Alt + Tab should be excited. Proposed by Clint Rutkas, the module has a very simple idea: use a keyboard shortcut to toggle between windows within one app. For example, if you have four browser windows open, Alt + ` will let you switch between them just like Alt + Tab switches between all running apps. Here is the utility description from its GitHub pull request: Like other PowerToys utilities, Alt Window Cycle will offer shortcut customization. You will be able to use default shortcuts (Alt + ` for the next window or Alt + Shift + ` for the previous one) or remap them to something else. For now, there is no information on when Alt Window Cycle will arrive, so we will have to wait for the next PowerToys feature update (Microsoft usually pushes them on a monthly basis). Recently, Microsoft released version 0.100, which reworked the shortcuts guide, introduced an extension gallery for Command Palette, and more. Shortly after, version 0.100.1 arrived as a bug-fixing update. PowerToys is available on Windows 10 and 11, and you can get the app from the official GitHub repository, the Microsoft Store, or winget. Although Windows 10 is no longer supported, PowerToys developers currently do not plan to drop the now-unsupported operating system. And with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year in the Extended Security Update, you can expect PowerToys to remain available on Windows 10 for quite a while.

      This is sadly what happens when a company tries to become political and focus on agendas outside gaming, the constant push of inclusivity and whatever the current thing was and box ticking, instead of simply focusing on what was a great game to many myself included, massive let down that a once great game company has ended up this way hopefully this will be a lesson to game devs from here on in to leave politics and agendas out of gaming

      Prices for consumer electronic stink and will continue to stink for quite some time. If you're at all hesitant, just buy now because it's not getting better. (or buy used and save even more cash)
