Based on "the fine print", does the Newegg gift card expire after 90 days?

I'm not sure. These deals are based on 'the promotional part of the deal expires in 90 days', so it's unclear what's considered the promotional part of this deal.

It also says "[a]mount paid never expires." Superficially, I would think the promo part is the Premier Membership, but I don't see how that could "expire" since it's a "membership" that presumably kicks in immediately, not a "value" that could go unused. Maybe they'll leave you with the membership and deduct the (regular) price from the card's value after 90 days? It's really totally unclear...

For $50, I'm tempted to just go ahead and do it, since in any event I'm almost certain to, and in any event could easily, spend $50 at Newegg over the next 3 months. For that matter, I could probably spend $100 without undue strain. But I'd rather know for sure before I pull the trigger, so I submitted a question asking for clarification. Dunno how long it will Groupon to post the question and then to get a response from them or Newegg, though. Hopefully it won't go "out of stock" or something before they do...

With Groupon it usually means you have 90 days to redeem the Groupon certificate itself & has nothing to do with the items its redeemed for.

I only just noticed, and double-checked myself by trying it, that the promo code cannot be applied to this deal. Still worth doing for the free Premier Membership if you're a regular Newegg customer anyway (and/or if you were planning to spend at least as much as the value of the GC with them in the near future anyway.)

FYI, I bought the deal using the promo code before posting - they might have changed it.

So it goes, must've been an error that they quickly corrected or something... (sigh) By the time I got to it, the "fine print" said/says "[n]ot valid with Groupon promo codes" and when I tried it just for good measure, all I got was a message telling me to go read the fine print.
