GameStop Halts Pro Points for New Members, Extends Pause Through August
GameStop is changing its Pro Membership rewards: new Pro members will stop earning Pro Points starting July 15, and current members will cease accruing on August 15, after the program previously offered about 2% back as points. The changes, reported by Kotaku and discussed on Reddit, appear to be a cost-cutting move despite a high quarterly profit. Separately, CEO Ryan Cohen has floated a bid to buy eBay, which eBay rejected, leaving a potential hostile approach as a distant possibility.
