I bought a GTX 1070 FTW on August and have an invoice of it, but didn't register the card until recently for the Thermal issue. Could I still get the PowerLink for free?

From the offer page:
"Own an EVGA GeForce GTX 1080, 1070, or 1060 graphics card that was purchased on or before October 31, 2016? If so, you qualify for a FREE* EVGA PowerLink™ while supplies last!"
 
Just go sign up

How long did it take others to get there request to pay sent to them?  I got approved yesterday, figured it would be today but still haven't received anything.   I am excited to finish up my case wiring with these things.

10 bucks for shipping? Does this thing weigh 20 lbs? What a joke

Entitlement strikes again. Why is that shipping cost a joke to you? Do you have any clue what shipping costs? You're getting the Powerlink FREE - that's $29.99 retail, you just pay shipping, so let me educate you on shipping costs:
 
USPS priority mail small flat rate box (8-5/8" x 5-3/8" x 1-5/8") is $6.80 to anywhere in US. The Powerlink may not fit in there though, depending on the retail packaging it comes in... I know from just last week or so that a Samsung 850 EVO SSD in retail packaging wont fit in one of those small flat rate boxes. The USPS supply those boxes for free btw.
 
If the EVGA Powerlink product packaging is too big, the next size up is $13.45 for the medium flat rate box.
 
They also have a flat rate padded envelope (12.5" x 9.5") which is $6.80 shipping, but only if you use their envelopes. I sent a Samsung 850 EVO in my own padded envelope (same size) through Paypal about a week ago, and it cost $8.40 via priority mail, and that's with a discounted rate through Paypal, and to a nearby state.
 
USPS put their rates up recently, so $9.99 shipping does not appear to be that excessive at all, and you also have to factor in handling, labor overheads etc..
 
Seriously can't believe EVGA are getting flak from some people for offering to give this item away free. If it were me, I'd withdraw the offer.

Cmon man don't you know Free means free....  lmao 
 
I wonder how many people would volunteer to go and work for free preparing and boxing these to shipped.   Like you posted man people don't think at all before they talk they just want free stuff.... I swear it kills me people will spend $600 on a video card and than cry about spending another $9 lol.  If it is too much for ya than wait till it for sale and spend $29.99 plus whatever shipping cost will be.   They are giving us a free $29.99 product the least we can do is pay the company for shipping and cost of there manpower to prepare these wonderful gifts to be sent to us.

Aww man I only just got my card today, so I cant get this now then?

just put in my "order" (shipping costs) for the powerlink, hope this works well :)

It would be entitlement, if the person thought they deserve to take part in this promotion, when they don't qualify for it. Not for questioning the S&H costs. You do know it only costs evga around $1.36 to ship out thermal pad kits to select GTX1070/1080FTW owners. The powerlink shipping will be around that price too.
 
The S&H fee is a bit high, but it won't bankrupt anyone.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

There's a simple solution to the people moaning about the shipping price.
 
Don't get it.

Bingo, I can't believe that some people are whining over 10 measly little dollars. Especially on something they are choosing to signup for and partake in.  (This generation grows more entitled and delusional by the day.)

It's $15USD or ~$20CAD for shipping to Canada. That's too much for me for some little cosmetic thing to hide a cable. I'll pass but's not a bad offer if you're in the States
