GameStop Military Discount: Availability, Requirements Explained

Short Answer

GameStop offers a military discount at select locations — typically about 10% off — but it doesn’t have a companywide military discount policy. You can save on your next purchase at GameStop by checking out current sales and promotions or buying pre-owned items. For more details of GameStop’s military discount policy and other ways to save, see below.

GameStop Military Discount Policy

GameStop offers a military discount at select locations — typically those located on or near a military base, according to GameStop’s customer service department. Not all store locations have a military discount, and there is no military discount available for online purchases.

Where available, the GameStop military discount varies by location; not all items are eligible for discount. The on-base discount is usually around 10% but, at some stores, it is only good for pre-owned games, customer service associates said. We also spoke with one off-base store near Luke Air Force Base in Arizona, which offers a 10% discount to military and law enforcement.

Other Ways to Save at GameStop

GameStop’s weekly ad features current sales and promotions on games and gaming accessories. GameStop also sells discounted pre-owned games, consoles, and electronics. Pre-owned items are tested before they are sold and come with a satisfaction guarantee.

If you trade in your used games or electronics, you may also be eligible for special offers on new items at GameStop. Find GameStop’s current trade-in offers online. You can even browse the list of gift cards sold at GameStop.

In addition to regular discounts and sales, members of PowerUp Rewards, GameStop’s loyalty program, are eligible for more savings opportunities. PowerUp Rewards members earn points on every purchase, which can be redeemed for digital currency, in-store discounts, and limited-time items. Other perks include a birthday offer, exclusive sales, and free two-day shipping on orders over $35 for Elite Pro members. To sign up, you’ll need to visit a GameStop location.
