I got an email from GameStop this morning. What with this being “Black Friday” I sort of expected it to arrive. As a member of the Power Up Rewards program I am on their mailing list and expect these to arrive.
This one in particular rankles me though. Here’s the relevant parts of the ad:
This looks like a good deal. I wouldn’t mind checking some of this out. There are a couple of gift ideas I have that could be fulfilled here.
The problem? I received this email notification today – Friday, November 29th. As noted in the advertisement the offers start Wednesday, November 27. Shouldn’t Power Up Rewards members get notified of these types of offers BEFORE they happen? Note how the offer states “today” as the start date? Today was two days ago.
This isn’t the first time I’ve gotten an email offer from GameStop either late or after the fact. It’s almost enough to get me to stop shopping at GameStop for my video games and switch to Amazon.
