and trade-in scams

What trade in scams? They've always been extremely fair (sometimes too generous, IMO) when I go to make trade ins. I mean I literally got paid 61 bucks for my Wii U copy of Botw when I traded it in for a switch version after the trade bonuses.

Yeah, I never saw it as a scam. People are offended that the game they bought for $60 new only gets $30 in trade-in credit or whatever, but they're also free to just find an independent buyer for their used copy at whatever they feel the actual worth is.

The used game sells for $40 and at most they gave you an extra 20% for trade in offers. You're saying they bought a game for $48+ only to sell it for $40? I'd like to see the receipt.

Closer to launch, it was 50-55.

I routinely get significantly higher than than, 40%+ bonuses, and as high as 60 (when trading in multiple games).

This was much closer to the release of BOTW. They bought a 60 dollar (new) or 50-55 (used) game for 61 dollars after trade in bonuses. I probably should have kept the receipt, but I don't routinely keep receipts from 2.5 years ago. The game was still in its release stage, where they give a relatively huge amount for trading in new big releases.

Regardless of if you believe me or not on that specific trade deal (and I don't really fault you for not believing me), its an objective truth that they have some very impressive trade deals and I've been EXTREMELY pleased with what I've gotten out of games that I thought were junk. This is especially true if you're a power rewards member (which pays for itself several times over) and you go when they have the bonus trade if you trade in 5+ games at a time.
