GameStop PowerUp Rewards Points Expire Notice an Error

Sine Mora

If you are a customer of videogame retailer GameStop -- and a member of its PowerUp Rewards loyalty program -- you may be among the thousands of people all over the world who received an email notification that their reward points held on account in the loyalty program are about to expire. The good news is that the email notification was a mistake -- your points are safe, and you do not need to visit their website and redeem them as you will not be losing them after all.

Out of the blue customers all over the world received the following email notice warning them that the points in their account were about to expire and telling them how to use them before that happened:

Your points are about to expire, and you only have until Thursday, January 26, to save them. Since they are the only way to get all the cool stuff in the PowerUp Rewards catalog, you need make sure they don't disappear. It's easy to keep those points safe for another year.
3 simple ways to save your points:

-- Make a purchase at GameStop or GameStop.com
-- Trade your previously played games, accessories and more at GameStop
-- Buy Kreds on Kongregate.com

So what are you waiting for? Get to GameStop, GameStop.com or Kongregate.com and save your points now! But hurry! You only have until Thursday, January 26, before your points expire.

View the PowerUp Rewards Catalog to see what your points can get you!

Last night the massive game retailer issued the following email to customers to apologize for the error:
