Each part number has its own queue and they are not all getting resupplied at the same rate. Some part numbers are moving faster than other part numbers.

Not sure if you are responding to my question. If so, this is the same part number I’m waiting for. I signed up for this part on 9/24/20 at 6:46pm. The user confirmed they signed up at 9/26 but we still aren’t finished getting cards for those on launch day or 9/24 yet....

So neither of you have got a card yet.. which means the EVGA has not reached the point in the queue where either of you are at yet. If you're talking about the 3090 FTW3 Ultra, EVGA has only got as far as notification sign ups made at 09/24/2020 at 1:32pm.
 

What am I missing here and I mean no disrespect. I’m honestly responding to the person who said he got his card today. The 3090 ftw3 ultra. It’s been a long day so I could be really sounding stupid but I believe someone wrote in bold which I highlighted the post in question of receiving the 3090 ftw3 ultra from the 9/26 sign up for notification

I got you now, I didn't see the part about Hancor, it was in a different post.
 
I can only presume Hancor made a typo with that date, because nobody beyond 09/24/2020 at 1:32pm has received an email to buy the 3090 FTW3 Ultra, at least not through EVGA.
 
Someone else had a similar issue earlier, turned out they had changed their email address and were looking at notifications for the wrong email address, or something like that.
 
 

 
I can see you on the list btw Daveh98 - about 8 places behind me. :)   Maybe tomorrow for us? Here's hoping.
 
 

As I read the spreadsheet tonight, here is where we stand:

As a reminder, we do not know -- and it is not part of these numbers -- how many cards were sold through this queue system to consumers who have not self-reported to the spreadsheet.  The spreadsheet could represent 1%, 5%, 50% or 90% (or another percentage) of "auto-notifies" -- we simply do not have visibility into the "whole".
 
If I remember correctly to last week, the biggest drop occurred on Tuesday (Monday was fairly slow).  Hopefully tomorrow brings more happy stories of successful purchases.                                               

Any word on the 3070 launch

 can I get added to the list please 

It seems pretty simple to me. He's putting in the work to help people out, taking up hours of his free time. He also provides a code that can work for him as a sort of "thank you" that you are not even obligated to use in the first place. I don't see the problem here, at all.

I can see you on the list btw Daveh98 - about 8 places behind me. :)   Maybe tomorrow for us? Here's hoping.

Hey Nereus I am third from the last notification and I see you are 12th. I would say if they ship any of the 3090 FTW3 Ultra's tomorrow I'm in for sure and maybe you too. I got your code so hopefully it helps you and me

[sniped out HUGE quote] 

You're reading way too far into this.

I'm honestly not even sure what he is complaining about. Yes, it's true the thread has been taken over by that stupid spreadsheet and that a few members constantly spam updates to it in efforts to get their code used. The moderators say they're allowed to do this (and the thread is moderated as evidenced by it being shut down once before). And if someone wants to spend all their free time in a spreadsheet to make under minimum wage in reward points.. then it really should be no concern of yours. Annoying as it may be to try to read around.
 
If you're suggesting that the spreadsheet is being used as some kind of insider route to cut the line... or to pick people specifically ready to use a code... then that's just straight Charlie Day.

Ehh ok, a moderator can feel free to remove this but this is what concerns me and should concern EVGA. I’ll essentially just bow out of participating on these forums and potentially from evga products if is the tone that is condoned here. I post earlier about a member receiving his 3090 ftw3 ultra today. Hancor said he signed up for notifications on 9/26 and that specific card hasn’t even gotten through launch day 9/24/2020.

I cut the quote down for brevity as it has already been quoted above in its entirety. 
 
I don't have any information about the situation other than what I read in the thread earlier today.  But I took it as though the person who received the card made a mistake and entered "9/26" in the thread when he meant to indicate "9/24".  Given that today is 10/26 it didn't strike me as odd -- I assumed that in trying to type a quick post to this forum, he type out the date wrong.  I have already made that mistake once or twice in entering in folks into the spreadsheet (I think I caught all my errors before I published them to the thread).  I am aware of no way in which anybody in this thread could influence EVGA to rework the queue which they alone control.  Moreover, there is no incentive for EVGA to do such thing.  Again, I think this is just an erroneous entry of the date in a forum post and not some nefarious jumping of the line.  I retain full confidence in the queue process and remain very thankful for it as I have been losing to the bots since 9/17 (and believe me, I TRIED to get a card through other retailers).  
 
Daveh98, I hope you do not bow out of participating in these forums. I appreciate the sentiment, but I don't think it necessary. I hope you will stick around.
 
Edit (after seeing additional posts in the thread): I would be happy if there were no additional requests for entry into the spreadsheet.  In fact, I said that some XX forum pages back and I will repeat it here: the spreadsheet is an imperfect tool at best and can only roughly tell us where the queue is at any given moment based on self-reported information.  Given that have a reasonably large data set of more than 4000 entries over all of the cards in aggregate, additional entries constitute diminishing returns to the accuracy of the tool (i.e., spreadsheet).  I have continued to service requests to the spreadsheet because:
(1) it is relatively quick for me to do it due to familiarity with it;
(2) the spreadsheet has suffered a few corruptions when inexperienced folks tried to enter their own data (at one point 800+ entries were corrupted); and
(3) I felt saying to folks coming to this thread that "you are too late" to be included in the spreadsheet sent the wrong message. 
 
I know you cannot please everybody, but I guess I expected a little less cynicism.  Have a good night.

I'm new to this forum...reading that long post seems funny to me lol. I'm confused as well. Can someone actually cut line in queue? I don't know.  Also, I have no idea about the Associated Code but all I know is I got a discount from it and happy.  I can careless how much they gain for me using their codes. Why should it effect me or you?

Ehh ok, a moderator can feel free to remove this but this is what concerns me and should concern EVGA. I’ll essentially just bow out of participating on these forums and potentially from evga products if is the tone that is condoned here. I post earlier about a member receiving his 3090 ftw3 ultra today. Hancor said he signed up for notifications on 9/26 and that specific card hasn’t even gotten through launch day 9/24/2020. The responses I got made bold assumptions I’m incorrect by Nereus. From my phone I don’t know if Nereus is a moderator or not so I continue to politely respond and assume I’m seeing something incorrectly. I’m not. Eventually, it’s clarified that it must be a mistake from hancor in reporting. While sample size being small will lead to longer waits as more people sign up, only two reasons can account for someone getting a card that’s still not through launch day fulfillment:
1. User error. In this case, someone claiming to auto notify for the 3090 ftw3 ultra which currently is going through launch day orders on 9/24. This person said they signed up on 9/26. Sample size being limited has nothing to do with anything if launch day fulfillment has not been satisfied. Any orders from 9/25 or 9/26 are in the future and we know there are orders needing to be filled from 9/24. So the user had to have said the wrong date. OR

2. Preferential treatment. Some users may get early cards because of connections or secondary gain leading to getting preferential treatment. For example, maybe some reviewers can bypass the que if they have written or unwritten contracts with EVGA. This could all be legal and above water. However some of it may be legal but unethical. Some could be illegal. I’m not stating hancor is getting preferential treatment. I just am listing the two possibilities based that would account for bypassing the line. All I can see from post history from my phone is posting a review of the 2080ti and Justin from evga posting below his a video review. Likely a coincidence and to be clear I’m not accusing either or wrong doing but I’m getting to my point:

Mudbone91 links Nereus’ 5% off code link and says what it does which is quoted above. Nothing illegal. But morally I have concerns. This thread is being sold as a tool to assist people on seeing where they are in line in context to this forum and in time. This is the current rationale for it in response to some who view this as disingenuous to give hope or false sense of security and to also push an affiliate link. This post is proof that it is serving more than just a tool or guide. A person linking the affiliate link “hoping” emails come their way. It’s innocent and naive but clearly people are confused or potentially confused how the que system really works. Essentially, the implication is “if I promise to use the link maybe I can get my email a bit early.”

Given the fact this is unmoderated but known by evga is an issue. Moderators representing the evga brand and currently participating which is also an issue. If this was officially being moderated I would not be nearly as suspicious. Nereus is married to this project for secondary gain which is people using the affiliate link. He happens to be waiting for the exact card and congratulated the person who claimed they got it today but had a sign up that makes that impossible outside of user error. The fact we have people showing they are ready to use the affiliate link in hopes that their number comes up indicates maybe other practices are not so transparent here as the moderators aren’t even owning this thread. That’s not good. A slimy lawyer tactic is to “rain make” someone. Tell someone to pray for rain and if it does, you look like a winner. If not, pray more and when it does, you look like a winner. It’s promising a win win value proposition.

This IS happening here. What I quote is pure evidence without the speculation. And everyone can reference the wording being used which is “good luck” “hopefully soon” etc. the VERY NATURE of this que is to take “luck” completely out of the equation. It’s just a que. when one signed up for the que is their time stamp. No one knows where they are but the supposition is that is irrelevant as it’s a system that cannot be gamed by bots, people or outside influence. Well enough is happening where it has concerned me enough to where I wonder if my very posting of this “brings me bad luck from the prayer Gods” as I’m criticizing it and not showing the affiliate link. I’m asking for moderation, accountability and transparency. I signed up and asked to be put on the list because I thought Nereus and another were moderators. I also understood the limits of the list from sample bias. I understood and rationalized the secondary gain by spamming the link for affiliate codes as work was being put into the list that isn’t moderated. Posts promising a forum member they will use their link shift my opinion.

When the person who spends tons of time on the list and sending the affiliate link is waiting for the EXACT card hancor claims to have gotten with a date that would be impossible and congratulates him makes me question what is going on here? I barely look at the list and I instantly knew that date was impossible to have gotten the card as I’m signed up for that very card and am still waiting like others on 9/24 launch day emails to go out. When I check the post history and see possible reasons someone getting the card early from preferential treatment I am concerned. While some of these are speculative, it’s based on the fact this is unmoderated, causing confusion and frankly doesn’t sit well at all and I think forum members have a reason to be concerned with the practices of some members. EVGA unequivocally should be concerned and their response or lack there of will impact any business I do or don’t moving forward. And frankly, I realize this essentially “outs” me but I’m a transparent person and advocate for people for a living. I’ll leave this where it is and file my complaint if needed through the appropriate channels. This whole thing stinks and I’ve said my piece.

Ok, for a start, I am not a moderator, I do not work for EVGA, and nobody here, including moderators, have ANY control whatsoever over the lists of when EVGA sends them out. I have no more control over it than your nextdoor neighbor's dog, and I really resent the implication of impropriety. I tried to offer some possible explanations of why some person named Hancor received a card and said they added themselves to the list for a time and date that was approximately 2 days beyond what EVGA has sent cards out. It's obvious to me (and I expect everyone else) that this Hancor person is incorrect in saying the time they signed up, particularly when there was someone on the list for the EXACT time TO THE MINUTE to the time you said Hancor claimed, but 2 days earlier (edit: I think that was another person I was helping, but same situation). Now how you got from there to some completely baseless claim of impropriety is beyond me. Just because some completely unrelated person thanked me for helping them and said they'd use my associate code? Really? Are you aware of how many hours - days - I have spent helping maintain that spreadsheet just for the benefit of the community? It's also partly a mildly OCD thing for me - once I got started on it, I wanted it to be as good as possible. You have absolutely no right or basis to throw an accusation like that, and I would hope you would apologize for it. It is people who make completely unfounded accusations like you just did that stop people like me wanting to help anyone in the first place, and particularly so when one of the people I went out of my way to help was YOU. This was never about 'making a living', lol, I already have a full time job and make a good living thanks - this wouldn't even scratch the surface - this was about me seeing a good way to assess where I was in the queue and in my own interest to help keep it maintained since I live on the east coast and don't want to wake up at midnight every damn night to check my email in case my number was hit - without this spreadsheet I had no clue when I might receive an email, and again, the mildly OCD aspect as well. Tell you what though mate, if I did have access to the queue, I'd be sorely tempted to push you right to the back for this bs claim. Lucky for you I don't. Maybe the whole concept of altruism is alien to you, but that would be a problem with you, not me. If someone wants to thank me for doing all this work, then I appreciate it, but they have no obligation to. The very least you could have done is ask Hancor first if he made a typo!
 
Man that really pisses me off.

Nobody can cut in line. Well I suppose technically maybe a family member of someone higher up at EVGA might be able to, but then they would not be in the queue system in the first place, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I'm glad you benefited from whoever's code you used, and thanks for the comment.

@ Nereus. Don’t worry what others think, If it’s any consultation I like how you helping others out and think you’re cool for doing so. I added myself to the list a while ago and I have my own code but I’m using yours when my card comes, you have my vote. It’s like you said you cannot make everyone happy so don’t try too and thanks for helping us out!

Thanks Straykatt, really appreciate it.
