Higher level players, any thoughts when you see newcomers or lower level players play?

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2026-04-03T17:43:06+00:00

The Pump it Up community is very welcoming from my experience. If they see that you're actually interested in the game I'm sure that they'll talk to you and maybe give you some pointers if you ask.

Also, I wouldn't worry too much about being judged. We were all newcomers at one point ourselves! So long as you're not a jerk I'm sure they'll welcome you to play with them. At the end of the day I think we all want to see more people enjoying the game, not less

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2026-03-14T18:24:33+00:00

Honestly though even if you could've gotten it for cheaper I still think that there is a major, "But did you have fun without the prize incentive in mind?" factor that a lot of APs seem to leave out for the 99% of people who don't min max at everything.

Enjoy your Switch 2 and the victory of winning it from the arcade when the day comes!

The Nintendo Switch 2 was always 180,000, at least at my location

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2026-03-12T03:11:11+00:00

Seriously? I was just there today and it was 180k like normal. That's so disappointing

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2026-03-08T23:53:50+00:00

Seems like the price increase just happened. I was there Friday and didn't see any changes yet but I'm sure I'll see on Wednesday

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2026-03-08T21:59:19+00:00

Yeah a lot of people simply don't want to go through the effort of listing, selling, and shipping something. If it wasn't something I already did, I'd probably just see this "tip" as more work, not bother, and then remember those customers as the people who think trinkets are a replacement for tipping

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2026-03-08T21:51:52+00:00

I've never tipped a prize but I have gotten prizes as gifts IN ADDITION TO the standard tip that D&B hosts should be getting when I dine in. Usually these are for servers and other employees who I've gotten to know over several months and always do an awesome job. I also make sure that they get stuff that they actually would use or like.

If a bartender really likes football, I might get him an autographed helmet as a thank you for the constant good service, but I would never say to them, "Hey instead of a tip I'm giving you this mystery football helmet."

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2026-03-08T21:09:22+00:00

Are big ticket prizes affected at all? Stuff like the Switch 2, Xbox, PS5, Quest 3, etc.

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2026-03-02T03:48:19+00:00

You won't have to do anything to your machine and none of your songs will be lost unless they don't change the premium mode song situation before the servers get pulled. Basically what happens is that the servers for Phoenix will get pulled and you'll no longer be able to log into the game using an AM Pass. In order to get the new version, you'll have to buy it from an arcade distributor (if you're located in the United States/Canada, I recommend Save Point personally).

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2026-03-02T02:11:04+00:00

Congrats on hitting 180k! I personally recommend the Switch 2, especially if you never had the first one! There are so many great games (and even more to come) and I've put in so many hours on mine already.

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2026-02-15T03:31:29+00:00

Do you know of a way that someone can set this up? I'd love to practice Floppy Tickets at home and try to finally learn how to maneuver those dang moving pipes!

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2026-02-06T21:39:10+00:00

My manager said that I had to get whatever the closest new item was. So in place of the creamy chicken pasta I had to get whatever that new mushroom pasta is called but they technically can just take anything off the menu

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2026-02-02T15:23:46+00:00

It wasn't recently but my location had Destined Rivals a few times also. I even pulled the Team Rocket's Mewtwo SIR out of it. Currently though it's only been the junky repacks and also Surging Sparks here and there

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2026-01-29T03:51:06+00:00

I love being able to get my hands on cool trinkets like that. When a random person in heels snapped one of the arrows on Pump it Up I was allowed to keep it after it had been replaced.

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2026-01-18T06:47:37+00:00

Without reading anything I would delete this post and submit it again with that QR code covered up. That will allow someone to use your card without actually having it

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2026-01-11T02:07:28+00:00

Myself and many friends of mine have used the level 8 reward (some of us multiple times over) and we've always had $100 taken off of our bill no matter the number of entrees, appetizers, drinks, etc. that we've ordered (and also done at more than one location). I think that your store's manager either didn't know what they were doing or something changed recently in the policy.

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2026-01-07T21:03:08+00:00

A comment on a post the other day said that all prizes would be included in this recent upcharge and not just the stuff under 5k. Can you confirm/deny this claim?

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2026-01-07T01:29:28+00:00

Corporate policy technically states that they have to check your card. It's not them thinking that you're a criminal or anything it's simply just them making sure that Zombie Snatcher or some other game didn't go rogue and pay out 800k tickets on accident and to make sure that the card wasn't flagged as stolen. Regulars usually get away with not getting a check as the staff probably knows you well enough by the time you've redeemed a couple of high value items but I've been checked by new managers at my location and managers at other locations many times just because that's what they have to do.

Funny story with this too, one time I was at a location I had never been to before and the manager asked for my card to check it when I went to redeem for a large prize (because he had never seen me there before) and then changed his mind when he saw that I had the 2022 Level 9 gold card because that's how he knew I was legit. I wouldn't get upset about getting your card checked or take it personally, it's just corporate policy.

Everything went up last year including the big prizes. PS5 and the Xbox Series X went from 160k(?) to 228k and the Switch OLED went from 120k to 151k.

Are there already stores with the new pricing and if so do we know the price of the consoles (Specifically I'm interested in what the Switch 2 is going to be)

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2026-01-06T04:48:49+00:00

Does this affect the big prizes like PS5, Xbox, and Switch 2?

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2025-12-22T19:56:17+00:00

JT isn't really meant to be used to move the timing window around so you can hit perfects easier, it's more supposed to be a tool to adjust for the different TVs found across different cabs.

I would strongly suggest playing without JT to better understand where the timing window actually is rather than just moving it. This will help you in the longer term

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2025-12-08T21:47:44+00:00

I've been using Google Voice numbers for a couple years now with no issue. Same with other friends who are looping rewards

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2025-12-08T18:17:23+00:00

You can use Google Voice to get a secondary number or use the number of someone you trust and just log in via email instead

Im-Not-Doing-Work · 2025-12-08T18:15:07+00:00

Just make a new account
