“Oh well, big deal”. “ They must have just turned my points into $5 certificates and emailed them to me” I thought. Instead there was a handful of transactions labeled “Auto Issued Reward Certificate” subtracting 5000 points each. A few thoughts ran through my mind, the first of which was “Had I in fact used them?” So I checked the transaction history to confirm that I in fact had not. Understandably I was then instantly puzzled as I read the number under Current Points (1170) and compared them to the not so stellar amount of Lifetime Points (29,279) I had earned over the years. So I proceed to log in and go check my balance, which I have yet to touch since the inception of the account. I then thought “Hey remember all those stupid reward points you got when you bought games and actually remembered to hand them your PowerUp Rewards card?” (because I’ll be honest most of the time I either didn’t bother or didn’t think of it and lost a lot of potential points in doing so, oh well). To help me justify my over-the-top purchase, I searched for coupons which I was sure didn’t exist for GameStop (I was right). Hell, I think Rockstar deserves my money for the quality games they continue to put out, especially the upcoming title which I’m sure to sink endless hours into. I went to pre-order the Big ‘ Ole $100 copy of Red Dead Redemption 2, with $40 worth of useless digital bull crap that I of course “need”. Your GameStop PowerUp rewards points are most likely gone, if like me you haven’t been paying attention to the tens of emails they send you on a monthly basis. Where they went and how to get at least some of them back.
