New PowerUp Rewards credit card offers
customers special financing throughout the holidays
To kick off the 2014 holiday gift-giving season, GameStop, a
family of specialty retail brands that makes the most popular
technologies affordable and simple, announced today that it will
expand its 2014 holiday layaway program to include more products
than ever before.
Beginning today, and continuing through Sunday, December 14,
customers will have the option to reserve many of this year’s top
holiday products including video game consoles, tablets,
accessories, and headsets through GameStop’s expanded layaway
program.*
In addition, through its new PowerUp Rewards credit card,
GameStop is offering special financing. For a limited time, PowerUp
Rewards Pro credit cardholders will receive zero percent interest
on purchases of $500 or more for six months.
“The holidays are all about joy, spending time with friends, and
giving gifts to loved ones. It should not be about stressing over
how to pay for this year’s holiday wish list,” said Bob Puzon,
senior vice president of merchandising. “By offering customers an
expanded list of products they can purchase through our layaway
program, GameStop is helping make it more affordable and simple for
gift-givers to spread a little extra joy this holiday season.”
This year, GameStop is offering customers the opportunity to
purchase the following items through its holiday layaway
program:
Consoles:
- Sony PlayStation 4
- Microsoft Xbox 360 (500Gb)
- Nintendo WiiU Super Mario 3D
Bundle
Tablets:
- ASUS MeMO Pad HD 7 Light Blue
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0
- Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 10.1
- ASUS Transformers Book T100
Accessories:
- Seagate 3TB External Hard Drive
Headsets:
- Beats by Dre Solo 2 Black
- PS4/PS3 Gold Wireless Headset
- Xbox One X04 Headset
- Astro A40 PS4 Headset
- Universal Afterglow Prismatic
The newly expanded layaway program provides customers more
gift-giving options this holiday season, while offering them the
ability to pay for their items over time. A $25 minimum deposit is
required to start a layaway contract, and all layaways must be
paid-off and picked-up at the store location where the original
deposit was made by the end of operating hours on December 19,
2014.
GameStop offers the best value and the most options to holiday
shoppers this season. Customers have the ability to pay off any
items on layaway through cash, standard credit card, store credit
obtained through trade-ins, and the new GameStop PowerUp Rewards
credit card.
The new GameStop PowerUp Rewards credit card will provide
cardholders with convenience and benefits exclusive to account
holders, including being able to make purchases online, online and
mobile platform card management and payment services, as well as no
annual fee and exclusive offers for savings throughout the
year.
