Well, I called complaining about the situation some of us are in, not getting the Backplate yet!
and how the promotion section is closed and we can't look up USPS status because of that.
 
I figure the reason why we don't have'em yet, it's because they don't have any to give out even though we were approved and USPS says shipped out.
 
So lets see, I was told over the phone EVGA will ship out Backplates this week and will update the status on the Closed Promotional Section in order to check
our USPS status.
 








my status has changed to this it was previously approved.
 
In the UK

And Now:

(Word removed for Foul Language)

Finally got mine today after a USPS screw up. They actually went above and beyond and sent someone to my office area during the weekend to correct the delivery mistake. Shouldn't have happened in the first place but they were surprisingly prompt and professional in resolving the issue.

My "backplate has been shipped" - finally. 
 
I think EVGA is shipping the backplates in the order they received the requests, so things can take a while.
 
And I just used my free game code for "The Crew" at Ubisoft's store, thanks for this game EVGA! So far I'm a happy camper with my 970 GTX - the card doesn't break a sweat while playing Borderlands 2 @ max. details (it's completely silent).

The Promotion has ended. But you can still buy the backplates in their shop under Accessories -> GTX 970 Backplate.

I think EVGA is shipping the backplates in the order they received the requests, so things can take a while.


Well, that's not true. I registered 2x EVGA GTX 970 ACX SC cards mid-September, didn't receive anything for over 2 months (!), also during that period I registered 2x EVGA GTX 970 ACX 2.0 FTW cards. Support (in the support ticket center) was everything but helpful.

Getting tired of my leg being pulled and waiting way to long, I decided email Andrew Han directly about the bad experience I was having with EVGA. Apparently that worked wonders, because 2x backplates were shipped the next day and the other, remaining two, after the weekend.

But EVGA dropped the ball here for me personal... Mind you; it's not just about this occasion (wouldn't be fair), but also because of a few other 'bad' experiences in the past with EVGA.
All in all and growing tired of EVGA, I decided to switch brands. Therefor I am selling all my EVGA videocards (not just the 4x GTX 970 cards I own). After reading several reviews, I decided to gamble on the Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming. Ofcourse, some will say it can't beat EVGA's support, however my experience with EVGA's support hasn't been that good all together either.

EVGA had already lost me as a customer in terms of motherboards, because of their (lack of) support with an issue I had with their X58 board. But now they will lose me completely as a long-standing loyal customer, because I won't be buying any EVGA cards for some time. Well the majority will probably never experience the problems I had with EVGA (and be happy about that). Also John Darwin said he appreciated my detailed email and would look into improving things, however the same was said in regards to my email from late 2011. So not much has changed, other than re-stating the same and this ticked me off completely. Therefor I am selling every videocard I still own from EVGA and switch brands completely.

Is Gigabyte a solid brand? Well, no clue to be honest. Their products seem to get good reviews mostly. Ofcourse a lot will say that Gigabytes support is 'meh', however (in my personal experience) EVGA's support isn't also the best out there... Anyways; I wish you all the luck and happy gaming with EVGA and I will probably lurk around the forums, but not as much as I used to.

LOL! You must be the funniest person at home.
I can sell the FTW's for 340 Euro per card and the SC's for 320 Euro per card.
That's something else than your measly 600 USD...

Anyways, ordered 4x Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming cards. They seem to have more power than the EVGA 970's. :)
Hopefully ASIC's quality will be good. ;)

Well, yeah, it kinda was a joke to be honest - The fact you took it serious was the funny part.
More money than sense ;-)
