I understand it is good business for the company's to have more elite members, since elite membership is a joke on the next product release 99% signed up will be elite members the remaining 1% will be outsiders.     

how to push psu sales... make it qualify for elite.. profit..

This would deter a lot of would be scalpers

I think it would just make the current flash flood of spam posts 5X....

Im hearing of guys just buying 2 of EVGA's cheapest PSU's just for the Elite membership....basically buying it  I mean in their eyes they can just dump the PSU sand if they get early queue a single card will make their money back and then more. Its just depressing. Maybe EVGA will catch onto that, heck maybe we could get lucky enough for their shipments to be delayed to prevent registration so they get locked out of the early queue

An Elite Mouse is much more useful than PSU you can connect multiple mouse but what are you going to do the the extra PSU.

If you already have a good mouse whats the second going to do? They are only $35 PSU's so Im guessing they dump them on Facebook marketplace for $25: HeY Guys SeLlInG My NeW PsU, I AcCiDeNtAlLy BoUgHt ThE WrOnG SiZe. My LoSs Is YoUr GaIn.

I actually used two mouse on both side of the keyboard a cordless and corded.

I already have my new PC built minus the GPU (still on a second-hand 1060 3gb from 4 years ago that I got when I started college; still waiting on the EVGA auto-notify queues). Just like you, I want to lock scalpers out of buying 2 PSUs just for the elite membership/early access to the notify queue, but I also find myself being tempted to do something similar. Obviously, I do want the Elite membership to get a 3080ti now that I can afford it (or any 3070+ at msrp) and I really do hope I can get enough twitch channel points in time, but I'm worried I might not succeed before the product launches.
 
I'm just not so sure if upping the requirements is a good thing, as not only would it restrict scalper access, it would also restrict any new legitimate EVGA customer access. For example, I recently bought an EVGA B-stock PSU, but I just found out that B-stock purchases don't contribute to the elite member status.
 
It's also a catch 22 situation: EVGA elite members who gained their status through product registration are already likely to have a modern GPU; new customers who don't have an elite membership are seeking a new GPU because they themselves don't have a modern GPU yet (and it's also hard to differentiate them from scalpers).

I have a Logitech MX Master for work and a Logitech G900 for gaming.  /shrug

I'm enjoying my GTX 1080 SC that I got last July, I have signed up for the RTX 3080 I'm looking for to an upgrade and only need this 1 card.  I'll try for the 500 posts, but that could take years...  I signed up for the auto notify back in November, but I have not even seen an notice from .  Just wondering, I love the B Stock category, I hope it never goes away, got at 850Watt for under $80.00. Pretty cool.

That would deter me. The entire program has me thinking about other brands, to be honest.  I am not a fan of privileged clubs.  It's great for y'all, but in the end it is just easier to go elsewhere and not worry about it.

if you are thinking about other brands-why do you need a elite status? it should only include people who really want an evga card and respect the brand. this is my opinion.

For people who live on the other side of the world, the 5 hours window may fall right into the middle of our night. 8 hours would make more sense!

The elite requirement was stated before u bought that bstock psu

 
Didn't think EVGA would suddenly change their policies and give a 24-hour exclusivity window for Elite members for new product launches (I understand it for special products like the 3090 Kingpin).
 
Don't get me wrong, I do like this exclusivity window more than EVGA not having one; it's just unfortunate for new potential buyers who don't already have a GPU (like me).

I know no one knows for sure about EVGA notifications, but I sent registered my notification for a 3080 on January 3, 2021. What's frustrating is I see Best Buy, Amazon, Newegg get them in all the time. Sure, they sell out in about 3 minutes but come on. People here want one card. At least those signed up, get one card. Anyway, if anyone has any news at all as to when that could be, that would be most appreciated!!!

Damn, 3060 or 3060 ti is going to be my reality.
Looks like that 3080ti is bitsy too much for my wallet....

Would I qualify

Depends on how you look at what sort of games you play and future proofing.

I think 3060/ti are goig to be relevant at least for 2-3 years, at least for me...
40 min./20 hours away inEU que for 3060/ti
Meanwhile I will start my investment fond for 4080...

Shuffle has 2 evga 3070 with evga PSUs (750 W) in addition to two asus 3090s. Hopefully they’ll add more to it before it starts.

I could do with one of those combos. Do Newegg Shuffle items ship to UK?

I've been unsuccessful with the shuffle so far and I always put it down to my location.
 
Between the shuffle and the queue, I hope I can get my 3070 eventually.

I have nothing to show for my two months of trying the shuffle either, but others have purchased multiple times from the shuffle so it seems like someday I may get a card from it.

At least I’d like to think so.

I wonder if the people who say they have been selected multiple times are using multiple accounts. Newegg doesn't require much info to sign up.
