Trading List for Trade 2 DEALS

Hi, Godwin I went to two Futureshops today in  BC. One in metrotown and the one on west broadway to only find out that both Futureshops did not honor the trade 2 games for 59.99 brand new game or the controller and ps3 game bundle. Clearly on the flyer it says trade 2 select games and get it free however, like most CSRs their interpretation of what the deal is, is usually what ends up happening. One futureshop told me that the only games that qualify for the trade 2 are Skyrim, Modern Warfare 3 and Uncharted 3 which made no sense to me because there was already a promo going on for those games. The other Futureshop said their is no trade 2 because its not on the website which made no sense since it clearly states on the flyer the deals this week. I seriously have been getting the runaround the whole day today and find it discouncering that I have to go through this much trouble to trade in Madden 2012 and NHL 2012 for a Christmas present. To make things worst the attitudes of both CSRs from both stores had such a demeaning tone when trying to explain how the deals are set forth when in fact I felt that logically it made no sense whatsoever for a trade 2 deal to only involve 2-3 games. Seriously worst experience trading games in yet and normally my trading experience is great.

 

I thought I would write this because I feel others might go through the same issues. The fact that there is no list for the trade 2 deals just leaves employees to interpret what the deal is and in my opinion leave a lot of customers confused and unsatisfied.

Hey, the list of qualifying games are under futureshop.ca/usedgames after clicking the Mario Kart and Zelda games. From what it looks like, Future Shop didn't update the picture of the trade-in page, but the list of qualifying games seem to be updated.  From my knowledge, there usually is a page of what promotions are going on at Future Shop by their customer service. Just seems to me that you ended up finding people who were just employed for the season.

Re: Trading List for Trade 2 DEALS

My guess is whoever updates the images on the website took an early vacation.  The lists still have been changing weekly though.

Re: Trading List for Trade 2 DEALS

I just want to give the guys at Richmond Lansdowne Mall location mad props, for seeing reason and finally doing a T2 for me. I think we had a 20 min conversation how they knew that the list was an update however the pictures and promo did not change. Even though its a further drive I am probably going to always do my business with these guys because they always seem to be on top of the gaming deals and consistant with how they process things.

 

Seriously I still cant get out of my head how some CSRs think that the only games that qualify for the T2 are Skyrm, MW3 and Uncharted3.

Re: Trading List for Trade 2 DEALS

Hi everyone, there is a list of qualifying games online at www.futureshop.ca/usedgames.

The stores need to review the internal communication regarding the trade in promos this week.

Its the time of year where the associates are trying to help out as many customers as possible for the holiday rush.

In the fall, I had a great customer experience at Richmond Lansdowne. Even though I'm from Vancouver, I go there instead.

Re: Trading List for Trade 2 DEALS

So I stopped by the Futureshop in Metrotown and all I can say is I saw them doing T2s and using the list. I think they must have recieved a memo or something because the same guy who denied me a couple of days ago was now using the list he said was not for the T2s deals. Thanks to whoever fixed that issue.

 

I ended up buying two helicopter toys for presents because they are absolutely fun looking =D.

Btw, Godwin.....the trade 2 for controller bundles instructions were not listed in the plays for Dec 18-24, and since it's not listed on the website as well...maybe that's why some of the reps were confused about this promo?

 

Good thing it's a happy ending :smileyhappy:
