I wonder when they will verify my Best Buy. That is odd that they didn't just verify you all at once. It would make sense to sort all the eligible employees by store, then make one verification call. I remember last year they said the materials would be processed in the order that they were received. That was not the case last year as I was one of the first to send it in, and many people who got the codes before me send their material in weeks after me. Thanks for the deal in advance INTEL, I am just curious about your verification process. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.... or Tuesday... or THIS WEEK....

Good luck everyone....

yeah tahts waht i'm waiting for, i got in at 313 am est

[FrozenDownload]

sigh i am also waiting for my call...i will check back in with my manager. hopefully this will be resolved as nicely as it was last year.

Are they going down the list of companies, or by names of people that entered, or is it kind of random? anyone know?

that's really weird that they just don't verify everyone at the same store at the same time..

They don't have the correct software for that...

I just got a call from Phillip at Intel....they are still verifying people on the list but are having to do a lot of it by hand since there seem to be a lot of fraudulent entries. It might take the full 4-6 weeks to get everyone verified so dont get discouraged if you have not heard anything just yet.

If you got an email saying that your verification could not be done than hold out as well as they are double checking all of those to make sure.

I hope they will reverify because the email they sent me stated they couldn't make contact and that was because the information they had in their systems was out dated. I updated my info at retailedge and sent the a return email with the correct info, hopefully I'll hear back soon.

Hey guys,

I signed up for the deal to becuase I work at circuit city and I am waiting for my call. I was just wondering what memory you guys think will be the best for this board. I want the fastest timings and a gb of it. I am thinking hyperx by kingston because they are sposed to run at their timings at 2.6v becuase this board does not go up past that. Some memory like giel will run stable only if it has 2.7 volts.

[cejay]

Aye, I have a gut feeling intel f'ed up again. I appreciate they offer such a good deal, but you think they could learn something from last year..

 

[KrayzieKMF]

its kind of stupid how they keep saying how bundles are limited.. its not like we control how fast they verify us and send us our code.. by the time they get around to verifying us it could just be out of stock

 

[rgreen83]

They are certainly taking their sweet time, a few ppl at my store have been confirmed, though one at a time with a few days in between.
Just from asking around, it doesnt seem they are calling in the order that ppl applied, so where's my call?

I'm wondering if this could be holding up bundles from being in stock as you had theorized previously.
