GameFly – Cashback, Rebates & Rewards

I don't really know why this site has such bad reviews but I'm guessing I've just had a different experience because this is my second time using gamefly and I think its great. Ive had no problems receiving games for the Nintendo switch and they even mailed my second game the day after I mailed back the first and they hadnt even received mine yet but they saw that I had sent it i guess and I received my second game before they evn had my first one back. Also the last time I used them before I moved I had sent back a game and it ended up lost in the mail somehow and they refunded me for a month of service. I really like this company, I thing their prices are reasonable, not great but eh.. also if you want to keep a game its often cheaper then you would get a used game anywhere else. I will be using them for a long time I think.

The five rating is overall for value of service. I rent games for the PS4, mostly, and they are approximately $60 each if purchased. I average 2-3 games a month, with one game at a time out, for about $17 after tax. I have had a couple minor issues, but they have always been taken care of quickly. And when I have sent games back quickly one after another, (either because I didn't like them or they were damaged) they often give me a bonus game to check out for a couple weeks, in addition to the one I pay for. It's not something I've asked for, it just happens automatically. Also, there's one day every few months where your $5 credits for used games will overlap, meaning you can use both and get $10 off one used game. I like to own a few games that I play between rentals. On that subject, there can be some lag between rentals, but they're obviously working on it. They have a new system that scans returns at the nearest city they're sent to, then they send the next game immediately instead of waiting to receive it at the nearest distribution center. This has improved shipping speeds drastically in some situations. Be sure to specify on your Q whether you want the first game available to be shipped first, or if you would rather wait and rent your Q in order no matter what. It makes a big difference in shipping times. I've been on an off with Gamefly for almost a decade. I cancel my subscription on months when money is tight, or I'm not going to be home often enough to play much. But when I sign back up, my Q and history are intact, and I just take up where I left off. I don't see any reason why I won't stick with Gamefly for years to come. (Unless they start charging too much.... *ahem*)

The site itself is good. Attempting to actually get a popular game when it comes out is VERY hard to do though. I typically wait until the game has been out a few months before I even think about getting it for rent from them. I've only gotten a couple of games that weren't readable. When I lost a game, they quickly sent the next game on my queue without question. Buying preowned games from them can be a REAL deal. with discounts and digital coupons they offer on occasion, I often times use them as gifts.

They sell (actually) interesting titles at extraordinary rates and there's absolutely no hindrance - registration, checkout and browsing. Receiving and activating the code was straightforward as ever, no prolonged time or awkward verification, and I'd recommend their service as indubitably reliable, committed to providing a straightforward service of digital products. I'll certainly be returning when there's another sale and I'd likely be willing to pay higher as I respect their business practice.

One of the major online shops I purchase my PC games from. I have no issues with their download client. I had to contact their support once or twice with an issue with a key but that was resolved in a timely manner. Friendly support. I must admit that I try to buy games mainly for Steam, Origin and uplay but also have a few a games through their client. (4+ platforms just play games is a bit crazy) There is always a discount code on top of the discount that can be applied. PC gamers are the winners here :) 5* +
