DarkStar83x Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Reports indicate GameStop will soon introduce its own credit card. It's tied to PowerUp Rewards and members are preapproved. However, the interest is ridiculous: GameStop Reportedly Introducing New Credit Card - IGN What the fuck?!

TehCro Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 (edited) Problem? Lots of retailers have their own credit cards. As long as you're responsible with it you can build some credit with it and hopefully earn some rewards at the same time. EDIT: Interest rate is pretty high (again, not a problem if you're responsible.), but it seems pretty easy to get.

ExHaseo Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Still not as weird as them accepting other stores gift cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parker Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Am I reading that right? Does it say PowerUp members are already approved for the card? If that is the case then this will be a great way for younger people with no credit to build some. It was a pain in the ass for me to get approved for anything when I had no credit (never had bad credit, just no credit at all) so as long as you stay responsible with it (which may be hard for younger people) I think this is a great idea.

Superstarmaste1r Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Why a new credit card for Gamestop? I thought power up cards will be good for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xzero4812 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 reports show that intrest rate are about 27%... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihiris- Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Great, one more thing for cashiers to throw at me at checkout. The interest rate is insane. Sure it's no problem for people who pay off their bills right away but I can totally see GS badgering teenagers to get this credit card and that can't end well for a good portion of them. Not to mention I'm sure there will be deals "exclusive to card members" on certain games. No bueno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEMON Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I really hope they don't introduce this store credit card things to UK.. I really hate being pestered into things like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
