Did you know that GameStop offers phone calls with NASCAR drivers as prizes for loyal customers? I had no idea, until I was scouring the retailer’s PowerUp Rewards page to offload the silly points I’d acquired over the months. While I picked up a handsome Saints Row: The Third gold USB stick, I noticed the odd prize.
For 60,000 points, customers can choose to have a phone call from NASCAR racer Joey Logano. I have no idea who he is, but I imagine that the toothless members of my local community are more than familiar with him.
“Yes, this is a real phone call from Joey himself, not just a pre-recorded message,” promises GameStop. “Discuss racing highlights or even gaming favorites. Past redeemers have reported that Joey sounds even nicer on the phone than he appears on TV! Plus, the PowerUp team will send you some cool racing items, just for being a loyal PowerUp member. Are you ready to bring home the checkered flag?”
Well, are you ready!? Personally, I’m more tempted by some of the hilarious garbage that the store is clearly trying to offload from its warehouse. Things like Zelda flip-flops and cardboard cutouts of Michael Jackson are the true prizes.
