GameStop Flips the Switch on Viral Trade-In Glitch

A YouTube creator highlighted a supposed 'Infinite Money Glitch' at GameStop: buying a Nintendo Switch 2 for around $415 and immediately trading it back in with a pre-owned game could trigger a promo that boosted the trade-in value, letting players repeatedly rack up store credit. GameStop says the glitch has been patched and promotions updated to prevent further abuse, though it’s unclear whether the video exposed a real flaw or a marketing stunt as questions linger while stores face closures.
