A side note, if you buy cards at walmart you get a bonus 500 points for each $15 card. Not sure if this was suppose to be limited stock, but local one has about 50 cards still on peg hook with this offer "exclusive to wal-mart".
Where in the store did you find these?
Electronics department people were clueless. The regular people were just retarded, and the upper-level employee who was using a hand-held computer to look, as well as the department manager, were basically telling me the computers were wrong.
See: on the walmart website, it stated a local store had them in stock (it also stated a few stores were Out of Stock). So, I go to the nearest store (though still out of my way), and I'm looking all throughout the electronics/games department, including the tiny PC Games area, as well as a major display of game cards on an end-cap, plus a section of cards next to the Console games. Nothing. They say it might be up front at the Gift Card display by a certain register: I see nothing there.
At that point, I'm basically telling them to look "in back", because it might just be in a box. After looking up the UPC, the department manager says "hold on", looks underneath the cabinetry at the electronics department registry, pulls up some game cards but no SOE cards. He then says "well we don't have them. Sometimes things are listed as received in by the store, but never got here."
I smell and claim bullshit, and a desire to be lazy and not look in any unprocessed freight, or even the processed freight that hasn't been carted to each department. I'm familiar with retail operations, so I'm hedging my bet these fucks just didn't want to actually look.
But perhaps we all just didn't know where to look? Where did you find your cards?
I was so hoping to get $120 bucks in Station Cash (12,000SC) out of $30 cash (2x$15 cards at Walmart, which is worth a total of 4000SC, which turns into 12000SC after 3x sale).
It has been confirmed this works, as apparently these Walmart-exclusive cards have been around for the entire year or thereabouts, and people have capitalized by cashing them in on the Station store during the double or triple sales.
But no... so far, I can't have any.
Yes, 9,000SC for $30 is a good deal, so I should just settle for that, right? But you know what's an even better deal? 12,000SC for $30.
