ToysRUs.. $20 gift card with ANY DS system purchase

[Azzycat]

Title says it all. Free $20 gift card with any DS system purchase at TRU, thru 10/20, while supplies last.

 

I just called my ToysRUs in So. CA and was told it would also work for DS Lite systems as well. Online they are only letting you get it with DS systems.

 

online DS systems are $129

in my store DS Lite systems are also $129

 

This week TRU also has a Buy 2, get 3rd free on select video games. I'm wondering if they will let you use your gift card on top of this offer. I don't know if the conditions on the card limit that. If they will let you use it, really you could pick up $20 games and get 3 games for $20 ($20+$20+ $20 - $20 free game - $20 gift card).

I purchased a DS today at my local TRU. In my store the sign stated that you receive a $20 gift card for a future purchase. When I inquired further they said the same. I bought 3 games also so overall it wasnt a bad deal. Also FYI before I made my purchases I asked if you bought two systems if you would get two cards and they said no. I needed two for my twins, so I bought one then and sent DH in a little while later and he bought the other, so I got two gift cards from two separate purchases. Plan on using those toward a PSP for my son. By the time my DH went in to purchase the second pink DS there was only one left. The cashier said they had sold all the pink ones very fast.

I went and purchased three video games tonight and also inquired about the gift card and was told the opposite by the SA. She said I could get two cards if I bought two systems. I could also use them for the games. There was not a huge selection of the $20 games at my TRU but lots of $29.99 ones. I think this is a great deal!!

I'm going to TRU today. Did they give the $20 GC immediately, or is it a mail-in?

Somehow I am not suprised. It didnt make a whole lot of sense that I couldnt get two cards for two systems but I was in no mood to debate and just sent DH in for me. There was not a huge selection of 20 dollar games in my store either, but I did manage to find the ones that I wanted, plus I had a 10 dollar off card that I was able to use on the video games so I actually ended up paying 15.00 for both games and got the third free, so I was happy in the end. TRU should make efforts to get their policies straight or educate their SA's a bit better though.

 

Also to the previous poster, you get the gift cards immediately upon purchase.

Yep, I cashed in on this deal yesterday! I also had two TRU coupons that I had received in the mail, $15 off a purchase of $125 and $10 off a purchase of $100. Naturally, the fine print says you can only use one per transaction, so I broke my order up into two separate purchases.

 

First I bought the Nintendo DS Lite for $129.99, used my $15 off $125 coupon, and was rewarded with a $20 gift card.

 

Then I purchased six DS games (three were $19.99 and three were $29.99), two of which were free (Buy 2 Get 1 Free), taking $40 off the total. I also used my $10 off $100 coupon, PLUS the $20 gift card I had just gotten from my first purchase, for a grand total of $77.16 (including tax) for six Nintendo DS games!

Hey, don't forget to use your McDonald's bucks! Can save an additional $5 per purchase.

TRU sent me a coupon for $10 off $100 purchase so I wonder if I can use it as well as the $5 mcdonald's tru bucks. That would be a pretty good deal combined with the gift card and free game.

On this thought, how many people have been able to combine coupons? I know alot of coupons say "Can not be combine with any other offer, blah blah blah" -- thoughts?

I got in on this deal. My $5 McDonalds Bucks worked on the purchase. The only systems they had were the DS Lite so there was no question there.
