EVGA 7800GT $50 cardpool rebate promo! Starts 10/1

[Fallengod]

Found this last night. Just started. Im not even sure exactly why they are doing a rebate this way but anyways. I dont plan on buying a 7800gt this month, but you never know. Thought id point it out for peeps thinking of buying one this month. Might save $50 for ya. Must be purchased between 10/1 and 10/31.

FYI: You have to register your card. Also have to buy 2 cards, or get someone to CARDPOOL with you, or CARDPOOL with someone else to get the rebates.


EDIT: Just an idea I had, dont know if its possible. But like, ZZF has the evga 7800GT for $369 with a $30 rebate that expires 10/9. Double dipping? Get the $30 rebate, then get the $50 as well? The promo rebate only requires a serial # and fax of invoice/reciept. Thats hot if so.....

Heres the quoted text.


"Here's your chance to earn some quick and easy cash! No, not just EVGA Bucks, cold hard cash! That's right, if you qualify (see below for terms) you're entitled to an instant rebate direct from EVGA for $50 / 2 = $25 in cash PLUS $50 / 2 = $25 EVGA Bucks for each CardPooler. That's a $50 value altogether! All you have to do to qualify is:

Must have purchased a GeForce 7800GT product between 10/1/2005 to 10/31/2005, though currently we are extending this program to encompass products bought from 9/26/2005, Invoice required to claim the rebate;
Register your card;
And lastly, find someone to CardPool with or CardPool with someone!
Please read the Terms and Conditions for full rules and regulations. It's just that easy. You don't have to do anything to be in the driver's seat (Serial Number 1) or to join the cardpool (Serial Number 2). As long as you fulfill the above qualifications, you're eligible for a $50 rebate (cash + EVGA Bucks) from EVGA. Just enter in your registered serial number (make sure you've registered your address correctly) into the appropriate slot."

different types of rebates every month, but this time is the weirdest kind of rebate. So basically they are trying to sell 2 items at once. Last month free eVGA motherboard with 7800GT or GTX purchase, this time pushing 2 video cards

 

[Averox]

Don't forget cardpooling.

I swear that's a great rebate idea there for recent upgraders to the card

 

[MiranoPoncho]

So this means one could buy the 7800gt @369 - 30 mir and 50 from evga? If so, This would be less than the 6800gt.

 

[Fallengod]

Thats what I was thinking. Newegg, monarch and ZZF all have rebates so.. If they work on top of the $50 rebate...that would be pretty nice.

 

[aldamon]

I will volunteer to card pool with someone this week. Just send me a PM.

 

[Fallengod]

If monarch gets another rebate on it going soon. I will buy one, and cardpool with you.

 

[aldamon]

ZZF's price on the eVGA 7800gt is $369 - $30 rebate = $339 with free 2nd day - Cardpool = $314 + eVGA bucks. Pretty damn good. Sure you want to wait?

 

[Fallengod]

Its not that I want to wait. Im in SO-CAL. So I get charged tax at newegg and ZZF. Stupid monarchs rebate ended 10/1. Of course I didnt see the cardpool thing till last night at 1am(10/2) I really dont want to pay $30 of tax.....

 

[aldamon]

Does anyone think this is a pre-emptive strike against R520?

Also, I just saw on eVGA's Web site that eVGA bucks can't be used for the Step-up program. That seems silly. What else would I use the $25 for if not for the Step-up program?

 

[Averox]

Definately sa pre-emptive strike against R520. ATi might get bitten by releasing their cards so late and nVidia cards dropping so much already.

Hmm... what the hell can eVGA bucks be used for then? They aren't clear on what your eVGA bucks are for.

 

[Sirrion]

Seems like a good deal, but if you have until 10/31 to do this, can we expect the 7800's to drop below $300 by the end of the month (Seeing as the R520 SHOULD be out this month)? I'd like to go in on this deal with someone but If i buy it for $315 and 2 weeks later the card drops to $305 shipped, ima be pissed

 

[aldy402]

pm me if u wanna cardpool

pulled the trigger today

I hear you but I doubt I can wait another month. I sold my AGP card and am running a Matrox Millennium II. LOL. I'm probably going to order a GT once I see what the R520 can do. Who knows though. The R520 release might convince me to stick with my 2D card for a month.

I hear that. The time frame for that is just right too on the rebates.

There is any way you can unlock GT to GTX? And how many times you can cardpool with some one?

Is there is a limit of 2 / $50 or it will mutilply if you keep adding more persons in like 5 / 150

I would think it would be limited to 1 per person.

I am pretty sure that the GT cannot be unlocked or flashed to get GTX level shaders or pipelines as they were laser cut.

 

[MrBelvedere]

I just bought one of these. Anyone wanna cardpool with me? Email me: wareagle043@yahoo.com

 

[michal1980]

i will be ordering in a day or 2, pm me for cardpool,

 

[aldamon]

Guys, you don't need to PM anyone to cardpool. Just use the Web site to cardpool with someone:

[daction]

I ordered one tonight, so you don't need to FIND someone yourself, you can just join up with someone on their list online??

 

[grimdeath]

dont forget the free games, including COD2 im just short of having enough for mine

 

[SniperREX]

Yep .
I think EVGA should have done a traditional MIR. This one was kinda confusing.

 

[aries2k1]

just ordered mine...hope it makes me happy for years to come...current card is a 9600XT so an upgrade is needed..umm..how do i get COD2?
