Terrible business model or just poorly trained employee. Either way, place to avoid. Went to buy $500 in PlayStation Store gift cards for a friend and was told I can only do $200 in one hour. I understand there might be a concern about stolen credit cards, so I thought ID could help connect my credit card with myself. Well, no. Apparently, the system doesn't let the employee sell me more than $200.
First of, it doesn't make any sense. What if I buy $200 gift cards and someone walks in after me wanting to buy a $10 gift card? They'd have to wait for an hour? And secondly, on my way out of the mall I passed through JC Penny, saw the same gift cards over there and bought $300 worth.
GameStop won't sell you more than $200 in gift cards FOR GAMES, but department store will. Interesting. read more
