GameStop is pushing its credit card with 'preapproved' email offers and in-store associates

Maybe you want to buy a brand new PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, but you don’t quite have $400 plus tax. Well, you could always charge it.

Earlier this year, GameStop introduced its latest product, the PowerUp Reward Credit Card. This piece of plastic enables customers at the gaming retailer to purchase goods using credit that comes with a pretty astronomical interest rate of 26.99 percent. Since debuting the card, GameStop hasn’t said much about it, but that’s starting to change. As we enter the holiday shopping season, GameStop looks like it might get more aggressive with offering its credit card to customers.
