GameStop is set to make significant enhancements to its Pro Membership rewards program, beginning on June 27th, 2023. As part of the changes, the annual subscription cost will see an increase from $14.99 to $24.99. Inflation is so much fun.
While the price change might initially seem substantial, the wide array of benefits offered by the revamped Pro Membership is bound to make it an enticing proposition for many gaming enthusiasts. Below are the key enhancements in the new Pro Membership:
5% Off Across a Wide Variety of Categories: Pro Members get a discount of 5% on pre-owned items such as consoles, video games, accessories, and tech products. The same discount applies to collectibles, including trading cards, toys, apparel, and all GameStop's clearance items. Brands like GameStop, Atrix, Geeknet, and Modern Icons are also part of this 5% off deal.
5% Off All Protection Plans: You can now save more on your GameStop Product Protection Plans bought in-store, thanks to a 5% discount exclusive for Pro Members ...But who actually buys these?

Pro Exclusive Deals and Drops, and Pro Weeks: Pro Members enjoy VIP access to exclusive sales, product drops, and special week-long sales during Pro Weeks.
Pros Get Points Towards Rewards: GameStop rewards its loyal customers with points, which accumulate with every purchase. These points can later be redeemed for coupons.
