tl;dr: I got Super Mario Odyssey completely free.
So, my mom does surveys to get me GameStop rewards points that I can redeem for their vouchers.
She redeemed two vouchers on GameStop for one $50 certificate and one $10 certificate. She was going to buy me the SNES Classic online.
As she was checking out, she realized she accidentally bought the store only vouchers instead of the online vouchers.
She called up GameStop and waited on the phone for 80 fucking minutes, and they finally gave her the points back so she could redeem them for the correct vouchers.
By the time we were able to check out, the SNES Classic was already out of stuck. Fuck. She called them AGAIN, waited ANOTHER 90 MINUTES, and then we got our points back.
Now, we were at a GameStop store today buying Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for the Switch using our reward points. The cashier told us we actually has TWO SETS of vouchers (two $50 vouchers and two $10 vouchers, instead of one of each). Then we realized what had happened: when GameStop gave us our points back the first time, they DIDN'T invalidate the in-store only certificate that we redeemed them for.
As we were walking out we realized what had just happened. We quickly rushed back in and picked up Super Mario Odyssey, before GameStop could catch up to their mistake.
Their loss, my win! Fuck you GameStop!
