Not that I want to or need to but how different are my Threads then the Below Threads from a single member.
EVGA NU Audio Discount Codes and Much More!
EVGA Z390 Discount Codes and Much More!
EVGA X299 Discount Codes and Much More!
EVGA PSU Discount Codes and Much More!
2080 Ti Discount Codes and Much More!
 
My Threads were based on In-Stock Product (K|NGP|N)* and Products that are on Sale on EVGA's Website and not about Discount Codes.
 
*An Associates Program Product.

It does seem odd that they'd create the program in such a manner that it encourages promoting it via posts only to turn around and have the mods
delete the posts that promote it...at least to me...
 
The blurb in your signature really doesn't mean a lot to most people (it's not looked at, imo, unless you have an issue and your
specs are there)..

Unless you have something like this in your Signature
 

This is the best Ideal I have seen yet!
"EVGA should just lower the prices by 10% FOR EVERYONE ALL THE TIME AND BE DONE WITH THIS NONSENSE."
I will add 15% Discount for Active Forum Members & EVGA Team Members.

When did customers become the salesmen for the company? This is ridiculous,

Not sure why you think this way, Word of Mouth has been around for Years.
Had it not been for Word of Mouth I never would have bought an EVGA Product.
I was a PNY and ASUS/MSI Only User before I found out about EVGA.
If not for EVGA I would never have started Folding or Crunching.

Word of mouth is great, so is the ability to read at the bottom of every one of the members here that have the code plastered all over the bottom of their posts. Personally, I would never use anyone's code that has to "advertise it". Only my opinion so do not take it personally :)

But, to each his own :)

I am sorry but I think this is getting out of hand. It is like everyone is becoming an EVGA salesman.
And yes I understand what word of mouth is and what a referral bonus is, this is more than that. This is not word of mouth.
It is a billboard in almost every post on this site now. When is too much, too much?
Is there not a forum rule about self promotion? How is a thread allowed that is saying use my code so I get paid for selling products?
How is having a huge banner in my sig saying use my code so I can make some money not self promotion?
Yeah it says " You can save" but lets be real, it is not there for you to save, it is there to make money.
But it is what it is, I'll just do my best to avoid it.
 
 

EVGA's Promotion, EVGA's site, EVGA sets the Rules ......
 
EVGA has Ruled that reasonable Use of your Associates Code in Your Posts is OK 
 
Signatures do not usually show (never?) on the Mobil platform & you can change Your Forum Preference to Not show signatures

For reference when you do a Google Search or any other Search Engine what is in our Signature is not Scanned or Spidered to show.
As far as the Discount goes you the Buyer also get a Discount of your own Purchase when you use another members Associates code.

Not if you are an associate.
 
Q. As an Associate, can I use my own Associate Code or another Associate Code to receive a discount on a purchase?
A. No. Associates may not receive discounts through the use of an Associate Code.

So 95$ when someone uses your code and buys a 2080ti they were going to buy anyway, and we have to fold 21 million points (gtx1080 24/7 100% load for 25 days) to get 10$ . Yeah that seems right.
I don't know, maybe it is best I just not think about these things before I say something I may regret.

My signature doesn't directly say to use my code. EVGA made the banners to be used in your signature, so I'm using them.

What happened to no self promotion posts?

EVGA changed the rules and is now allowing it. That is what happened.

I think this whole this is gotten out of hand. Every post now looks like a billboard "Get 5 or 10% off blah blah blah"
What happened to no self promotion posts? It is annoying to see advertisement for discounts in darn near every post now.
EVGA should just lower the prices by 10% FOR EVERYONE ALL THE TIME AND BE DONE WITH THIS NONSENSE.
The debacle with getting 100 posts and the spam posts it created to this nonsense. Is this really necessary... 
 

It’s a referral bonus. In the last week only three people have used my code. I don’t know how others are doing with the program but it really doesn’t seem that much. I am truly thankful for all those but it’s clearly far less then everyone who is using one.

I can’t speak for why Sajin would remove a post but normally we don’t remove posts and I would assume it would have been approved by the webmaster. We want people to take advantage of the program but also need to keep the forums a good place to come and read, learn and share information.

Tin_EE deleted the thread. I didn't do it.
 
 
 
 
 

I disagree with that statement as I made 1200+ evga bucks off just my signature. =)
