I know people hate them and I know no matter what I say won't change your minds. But for the past 6 months, I tried to use trade in deals and price matching to take advantage of their policies. I've played all good games(20+) on wii and 360 and I only paid like 200 or so.
Some people even earn money from them, like they had trade 4 games for guitar hero 3
First, buy from them using "buy 2 get 1 for free"
PGR3 19.95*2 = 40 = 3 copies, 40*6=240 you get 18 copies, trade 16 for 4 copies of guitar here 3 bundle(170 each), remember, its the credit all matters. They then return them(within 7 days) to separate stores for store credits, then price match a brand new PS3

Yeah, it's tricky but it's doable. Just takes a little bit time to running around and find all the cheap games like pgr3 or doa4. Now EB has restricted people from doing this by "cant trade in multiples copies of the same game" and"each people can only trade one copy for each identical game"
I never did that though, I could, but I don't want them to add me to the blacklist, yeah they do have one. I just sell my games off ebay or return to them.They know I am regular so they never refused to do trade deals for me, and I never paid more than 20 dollars for each deal.
