Hi all! I just got this amazing card and I am LOVING IT. However, I have been given the run-around from Amazon and Nvidia chat on trying to get my GoW4 code that should have come with my purchase. Is there anything I can do? Thanks all!

Seems you made the same mistake I did. I usually buy straight from EVGA. I was looking to buy the 1080 FTW and it was out of stock on the EVGA store when I looked. Checked back a few times and it still had "auto notify" on it. Since Amazon is listed there, I bought it from them, thinking the promotion applied. After receiving and registering it here I found out purchases from Amazon (mine was shipped and sold by them) do not count towards the promotion. I talked on the phone with Amazon and emailed NVIDIA and was denied a code. I emailed EVGA too (the email listed on the Gears 4 redemption page webmaster@evga.com) hoping they could help and haven't heard anything back yet. I doubt we will get codes man lol. Just take it as a lesson and make sure the promotion applies where you are buying your card from in the future.

The promotion isn't exclusive to EVGA.com, its available at several other retailers as well. Just not Amazon. That's why I told him to take it as a lesson and verify before buying next time.

Return it and buy somewhere else. Evga will then learn not to do these target promotions, but make them across the board.

Its an NVIDIA promotion though. Its not EVGA's fault. When I googled it, it seems Amazon was part of it when it started, but an exploit made NVIDIA pull them from the promotion.

Exactly why would it be their problem? When it spells it out where ever you purchase the card.................Free by association? WOW

I had the same problem, could not get Amazon, Nvidia or EVGA to honor the deal. I just happened to decide to buy the card right after Amazon got the deal pulled from them, but they didn't advertise that part. I would have just returned the card but had already purchased the advanced RMA before I found out.

Got my card on Newegg. They sent me code. I had to do about 5 other things, then they gave me a code for MS store.

i bought it from B&H and took me over a week to receive the code. B&H sent me a separate e-mail stating there is a rebate type of deal for this card. I submitted it and it was a code for GW4. cool thing is when activated it on windows store on my PC, it gave me a free copy on xbox one as well. I know it was a thing after an anniversary update or something, but I never acually bought (activated) from windows store. but why play on xbox one when you can play better graphics on PC :D
