Well being that i have not seen any threads on this i thought i would start one. being that there is no queue number or way to know how much time we have to wait. i thought we can aggregate info here. Post: 1. when you applied for the upgrade. and what card are you upgrading (part number) 2 Region (ie: usa, euro) 3. when you got approved. 4 Once evga got your card, when they shipped out your iCX card can check your approval status as well as part numbers here http://www.evga.com/icxupgrade/i saw on the nvidia reddit a few people said they signed up the day the offer was listed to upgrade and they still are sitting at pending approval. soooo as for 3/4/17. has anyone here even gotten approved yet? MY STATUS: 1. Applied 2/20/17 (GTX 1080 FTW) 08G-P4-6286 2. USA 3. Pending Approval

Applied 2/22 (1080 SC) Pending approval
I'm not sure how they will do it now. Did iCX prices go down? Because I paid $600 for the aCX.
Also approval goes if they have them in stock. Patiently waiting

1080 price's dropped to $499 for reference. and i want to know this as well. im going to cancel my upgrade if they dont value what i paid for my 1080 ftw ($629.99) they better honor the price of the card on the date you applied for the upgrade. if they say they'll honor the price they have now, im going to be pissed

You still pay the $100 fee to upgrade. It still resets your 90 step and such. The cost of the icx prior to the price drop will be used toward any step up applied for. Nothing changed with that.
You will need to include region applied for as well. The queue is based on time applied, card (part number would help for clarification) applied for, and region where card was applied for.

I sent the card to EVGA via USPS Two Day priority Insured...from Dallas, TX area. Unfortunately, the card didn't arrive at EVGA until 2/27. EVGA shipped back on 2/28. Paid for the three day UPS return shipping on the new card. Somehow, UPS got the card to me in two days...can't complain about that.

I'd love to be able to post my upgrade info..., but, unfortunately..., still nothing about the Classified cards, even thought the end date for the program has long passed. I'm beginning to think we Classified owners are out of luck. Still trying to be patient..., but very, very disappointing!
