EB trade in promotion/system question

I tried googling and searching the forums for more information about the trade in promotion, but without avail, so heres my question:

I know EB has a trade 3 get 1 free as long as 3 traded in game are 8$ min TIV, but I came across old posts mentioning a trade 2 get 1 9.99/14.99/19.99 depending on the MSRP of the game, but it was a year ago and I don't know if this was a limited time thing or if it is now a full time trade in system at EB, so what I want to know is if this trade in system is in effect permanently (as in not limited time from post 1 year ago) . If anyone can answer that, thanks for your help.

I'm not sure if it is a permanent thing however it seems to be happening just after a game's release date (many call it a tier trade in). Typically games get bumped to $25 each and you pay the difference. (e.g. T2 @ $25 each then pay $19.99 for a $69.99 game). Usually the games are listed under the trade in offer link on the gamestop.ca site: http://www.gamestop.ca/gs/specialty/tradeins/

There are some listed right now (probably more in-store)

Sports Blitzzzz.........

Its suppose to be limited time (monthly promotion) but some reps or even store extends it. Its YMMV for T2 = 50 (+ whatever the MSRP is) so it all depends on your luck. It should now be removed from the system but reps still can overwrite the trade in value to 25 (each) for T2 + x.
