UPDATE: GAME Reward Cards and Gamestation Elite Cards reactivated

Administrator PwC has reactivated GAME’s Reward Scheme, effective immediately.

The retailer has released the following statement: Your Reward Cards have now been reactivated by the Administrators for redemption against pre-owned stock.

This means that points can be earned on all products AND redeemed against pre-owned items as of now.This is only applies to Reward Cards only, at present moment.”

Gift Cards and Gamestation Elite cards remain suspended for the time being. And note too that for the time being Reward Points can only be redeemed against pre-owned stock, not new titles – expect this to change as soon as the chain’s finances are back in order.

With MCV revealing this morning that GAME is very close to exiting administration, this news could be the first sign that the retailer is at last being repositioned for life beyond this month’s crisis.

MCV is expecting some positive developments in the GAME crisis tomorrow.

UPDATE: Gamestation has just announced that Elite Cards have also been reactivated.

"Your Elite Cards have now been reactivated by the Administrators for redemption against pre-owned stock," the statement says. "This means that points can be earned on all products AND redeemed against pre-owned items as of now.This is only applies to Elite Cards only, at present moment."
