Best Practices for Calling GameStop Customer Service

GameStop does not promote its corporate customer service number. Visitor's to its website are directed to an online form or the company's social media accounts. However, there is a toll-free customer service number that is available. It provides callers with an automated menu that directs the caller to the appropriate representative or department.

If your purchase was made at a GameStop store, you may find that is easier to call the store directly. However, if that doesn't work, calling GameStop's corporate customer service might be your best option.

In addition to the general customer service number, there is also a separate number for PowerUp Rewards, GameStop's loyalty program.

Here are a few things you can do to help insure that your call to GameStop customer service goes smoothly:

  • Before calling, make sure that you have the necessary information to complete your call. This should include your order number, loyalty card number, the name and serial number of the product that you are inquiring about or any correspondence that you've received from GameStop regarding your issue.
  • If you are calling about a GameStop store, make sure you have the store address handy. Local store addresses can be found on your receipt or on the GameStop website.
  • Have a pen and paper handy when calling GameStop. Taking notes during your call can be a big help if you need to escalate your case.

What Kind of Issues Can GameStop Customer Support Resolve?

GameStop customer support agents can do things like check the status of an order, take a complaint about service at a local store, and initiate a refund for a product you bought online.

You can also ask for assistance with your loyalty club membership as well as gift cards that you've purchased. In some cases, a representative may also be able to provide assistance with using the GameStop website or helping you receive assistance with a product that does not appear to be working correctly.

What Can't Be Resolved by Phone With GameStop?

GameStop customer service representatives may be able to provide assistance with returns and status updates, but you will have to physically mail your product back to GameStop or bring the item to a GameStop store to get a refund. A GameStop agent may also have to direct you to a manufacturer if you are having difficulty operating a product that you have purchased online or through one of the company's retail stores.

What Can I Do If I Am Unhappy With My Call to GameStop?

If your call to GameStop didn't go well, don't give up on trying to resolve your concern. You still have options or resolving your situation.

First, review the notes you took during the call. If you didn't take notes, jot down what happened during your conversation with GameStop. You can refer to this in future conversations with GameStop customer service representatives.

Next, try calling back. Some customer service agents have more experience and knowledge than others. These representatives may be better able to provide assistance and resolve your complaint.

If calling doesn't work, you still have a few options. Visit GameStop online and fill out their customer service form. Another option is to get in touch via the company's social media platforms.

Another option is to visit a GameStop store. An in-person conversation with a store associate or manager may be more effective in dealing with an issue that is not easily resolved over the phone.
