So, last night I traded in Miitopia. It was traded for $22. I then got a $10 used game and asked for the remaining $12 in change. The clerk said he couldn't. Any way for them to swap the store credit for cash? Currently uninterested in pretty much everything there.

Kinda stupid they insist you buy things from their store when they don't even bother restocking the eShop cards. Been awhile since I've seen the $10 and $20 cards there. Might get a couple of Tom Nook amiibo and sell them online.

1. That's the point of store credit
2. Eb games is still a thing?

Just ask people going in if they will let you buy the item with store credit and give you cash. Best if you just have a friend that will do that for you, but put the word out and you'll probably find someone that is going to buy something from the store, and will let you use your credit.

I'm Canadian, and see them on my city's malls so yes.

That sounds like a scam.

Post on social media. Find other people upset about it. Persuade them to change their policies. That seems to be the only way anything gets done these days.

you get more in store credit than you would if you took cash.

if they let you cash out your store credit, that would 1) defeat the purpose, and 2) they would lose money.

That's the whole point of store credit. If they gave cash then you'd get less than half of that for the trade.

Hence why I said try and do it with a friend or a friend of a friend etc. If your desperate you can just ask people entering the store, but way better to do it with someone you know. Somebody you know has to buy from gamestop still.

How about you put the 12$ to a preorder for a game you'll want in the future?

I want the Koopa and Goomba amiibos but are they available for in store preorder at EB Games currently? And when do they release?

Unless canada is different for some reason they can print currency codes at the register. You don't need a physical card to be in stock.

Not sure if my location carries them or if it's even worth the $12 for the prepaid cards.

Look at applicable gift card laws and see what the cash out amount is then buy several cards under the price with the credit and then cash them out the next day. If they don't you have a lawsuit on your hands.

No. EB Games never trade with cash.
Once you buy a game, it is yours and you want to refund it; it is impossible. Instead, you get store credits for a trade.

Can't, since most cards are $20 or over. Wish they'd actually sell more $10 cards.
