GameStop Ends 2% Pro Rewards Points as Cost Cuts Hit $25 Membership

Summary
July 15 marks the end of Pro points accrual for new GameStop members, while existing members who renew before then can keep earning points only until Aug. 15.
Aug. 15 is also the cutoff for all remaining points, ending a 2% rewards perk that let frequent buyers turn purchases into coupons for later discounts.
GameStop is keeping Pro priced at $25 a year despite removing the points benefit, adding to a program that already no longer includes a Game Informer subscription.
The change comes as GameStop closes stores and trims costs while physical game sales shrink against digital downloads, with some employees warning of customer backlash and urging a boycott of Pro upselling.
