If the membership fee is on a monthly basis... lifetime warranty on video cards as long as you're a member? 

+1 to this. But dont forget about motherboards and PSUs as well.
 
No monthly membership. Its better if its a one time fee with every product you have registered/own. Of course the one time fee should not be ridiculously overpriced.  We are in fact paying alot of money already for said products such as GPUs, PSUs, and motherboards. EVGA can do something such as any product from 2010 till now should be a base for what qualifies for the lifetime warranty. If I recall the 580 GPUs had lifetime warranty on them already and they were released in 2010 or 2011?
 
Now if you get a new card, motherboard and PSU in the future just pay a extra $5 towards each new product to get the lifetime warranty while having the premium membership. That means if you get 3 GPUs you pay a total of $15. Then another things comes to mind is what if I sell said GPU, PSU or motherboard in the market place, will that lifetime warranty be transferable to another premium member who has a membership? Or would they too pay the extra $5 on said product to get the lifetime warranty? That's my two cents.

Some people think we should pay 10x more for a membership than what we get out of it. How dare we expect to receive any kind of value for our hard earned money.

Similarly, some entitled people think we should get everything for free and EVGA is a charity and not a for-profit business. How dare they not give us free stuff when we purchase items from them at market value and enjoy the best after-sale service in the industry included with that purchase.
 
 

No one believes that and you know it.  You clearly don't know how to attract people with a membership. You do know evga gives out tons of evgabuck (folding@evga) as a promotion to attract customers. Yet you don't think the would give away item that costs around $5 to mfg.
 
What kind of membership charges 10x more than topical member will get out of it.

If I pay to join a club, I do not want "FREE" stuff. But why join a club if there will be no reason to.
To a some extent, everyone reading this that can reply already is a member.
If I have to pay to be a member a step up the ladder, of course we should get some thing in return. Or why do it?
The big question is how much in return.
I myself would like to see more shipping options, USPS, UPS and FedX. 2 day 3 day, ground, priority ECT...
I have newegg membership and I save a ton on shipping. Newegg has always been good to me. EVGA too, for that matter!!!

Didn't you know, were here for evga to milk us only. How dare we expect to receive a good value for our hard earned money.

Clearly you have not looked at the Powerlink thread and all the entitled rants in there. I am amazed there is even one person alive that isn't aware of the entitlement mentality rampant in our society today - well, except for those who believe they are entitled to everything for next to nothing....
 
You need to realize that there are TWO SIDES to consider when looking at a subscription model, not just ME ME ME NOW NOW NOW... sheesh     ..and as it happens, many years ago one of my positions was as a product manager designing a extremely successful incentive program for a company with over 15,000 employees, plus I have 2 degrees majoring in accounting and economics, both with honors, which included cost accounting and finance which is relevant to this, and my employment for the last 6+ years is as an auditor, so yes, I do have a few clues.. the big difference between us is that I am looking at it to be mutually beneficial, whereas you're apparently just out for as much as you can get personally and are possibly butthurt that I pointed out issues with your proposal earlier that gave extremely large benefits to members right from joining up. Again, look up what opportunity costs mean in relation to cost accounting when you keep going on about $5 manufacturing costs, because you clearly don't know what you're talking about. I am not the only one who thought you were expecting to much, again, go back on this thread and see for yourself. Constructive criticism is not only valid but also vital when considering such models.
 
Nowhere did I or anyone else ever say anything about membership charges 10x more than typical member will get out of it, once again you're just making things up... GROW UP.
 
You've already been warned to stop this sniping bs, so freaking cut it out already.

If you bother to think without bashing my idea because you have a grudge against me. You would of seen it was only for new members, the other ideas i added would of helped people renew it for years to come if they always buy latest gpu.
 
Snpping??? nothing in the ToS about snipping at all.  I haven't made any personal attacks towards you or insult you at all.

AGAIN, I pointed out some issues with your proposal, and AGAIN, the main issue was of offering a reward just for joining that is worth more than the subscription fee - that is ludicrous, and invites abuse at EVGA's expense, and there were other issues as was pointed out clearly and logically and without any malice. I was not alone in thinking that, so why are you posting sarcastic sniping comments at me over and over after a Mod has asked for it to stop? Just because each post is not breaking ToS per se by itself does not mean you can continue doing it after a warning from a Mod to cut it out - Mods are not stupid, they can see what you are doing, furthermore, this is a private forum, and if the Mods/Admin decide that using the word 'Belgium' in a sentence is grounds for a permanent ban, then they can do it, regardless of your claims of not breaching ToS. Do you understand this at all?
 
Again I am asking you politely to STOP this sarcastic sniping bs over and over.

I don't see "snipping" in the ToS.
Did i make a personal attack.... NO
Did i insult anyone.... NO
 
I'm just joining in the discussion like everyone else is free to do. My comment is valid, some people do think we should have to pay more for a membership than we get out of it.
 
 
 
 
 

I can see this idea getting tossed out before it begins...... Congrats

It's going to have to offer meaningful things that people will want but doesn't cost EVGA a mint in the process. Things like a quarterly membership only design t-shirt, access to various game closed betas, maybe one cross ship RMA per x months of accrued membership, advanced information on upcoming EVGA convention/LAN events they're participating in, etc...
 
I wouldn't call it a "membership" program though. Bad name for it. I like what WSGF did for their group, they called them "Insiders". An EVGA Insider would have a slightly different definition here though. Insider status on WSGF was earned through merit by consistently assisting people. Maybe tie in the blue-ribbon program as a minimum requirement.
