titles this season
GRAPEVINE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 14, 2015--
GameStop’s exclusive loyalty program, PowerUp Rewards™, is celebrating
its fifth anniversary with 32 million U.S. members taking advantage of
its unique rewards and benefits and to mark the occasion, the retailer
is offering the first ever promotion of 25,000 points to PowerUp Pro
members who reserve and pickup within one week of launch four of the
five hottest video games this season: Assassin’s Creed Syndicate,
Halo 5, Call of Duty: Black Ops III, Fallout 4 and Star Wars
Battlefront. The promotion begins October 12 and runs through
November 17.
“We have loyal, passionate members and we want to say ‘thank you’ to our
millions of gamers for choosing GameStop for their video game
purchases,” said Frank Hamlin, chief marketing officer at GameStop.
With nearly 75 percent of GameStop transactions being made by PowerUp
Rewards members, this promotion will help customers get the games they
want and score points to get great items out of its exclusive PowerUp
Rewards catalog. For 25,000 points or less customers can get such cool
items as a 12–inch Godzilla figure, a R2D2 from STAR WARS scarf,
Borderlands Blue Claptrap FUNKO Pop Vinyl, a $25 reward certificate and
more.

in retail providing rewards and benefits for shopping at GameStop. At
