1 card every 30 days, with a valid state I.D. for MSRP. They Usually have EVGA, Asus, Gigabyte, MSI and AMD.
1st off join the Unofficial Micro Center Fan Server, its a Discord channel.
Choose your closest store and watch the stock-alerts for your store. This is the best way to watch the drops so you don't have to spend countless hours in line. Watch the stock alerts and go when they have them. Drops are somewhat random. They usually sell out in 20 mins to a couple of hours. 
I have got a few cards this way. 2-3090's, 2-3080's, 2-3070, 1-5700xt, 1-2060.
Don't throw shade on me for opening your eyes.

    Yes, but it has been well known since launch.  Any tech-heavy coastal metro areas still has tons of people waiting super early / overnight to get a purchase voucher.  Either for mining, scalping, or gaming.  You have a better chance in the inland suburban areas.

    So..... I hope you have a large family that all game and every single one of those cards are for personal use.

    Unfortunately, not all of us have a MicroCenter nearby.. hell, I'm in the middle of the Pacific, I can't even drive to another state that has one.

    Microcenter is only in 16 states in the country, most people don't live anywhere close to one.

    Tustin management used to honor a list system where a  List master will start a list where you can sign up for a RTX 30 series card or RX-6000 series card.   Basically you sign your name, and come back on check-times that the list master specifies... so you don't have to spend the night.   Just go to the store for role call... if you aren't there... your name gets crossed off... and the people behind you move up on the list.    I got a RTX 3070 and my FTW3 3090 ultra with this system.   The list was run by the community... not Microcenter.   Not sure why management stopped honoring this system.  Now you have to scan a Q-code that they bring out in the morning before opening.  The good thing is you don't have to spend the night... but you have to check-in fast to get in the first group to enter the store.  The bad thing is checking in fast doesn't guarantee you the 1st person entrance.  You can be the last person in the 1st group... but be the 1st one in the store.   However, last time I went to Microcenter... pretty much everyone in the 1st group got a card.

    I don't really have any sources except gossip, but I've heard bad thing about the Tustin location from the past handful of months. I'm not gonna waste my time.

    I hope this helps some people get a GPU @ a "normal" price. Thanks for sharing, I'm three hours away from a MC...
     
    I like your rigs! Hope you are feeling better, from the Rona.

    living in Ohio is one of the worst things i can wish on anyone. However i do like how i have micro centers all over the place. 30 Min away from one in Cle and a couple hours from the flagship in Columbus, where i was told most of the GPUs are shipped to and kept first before shipping some to satellite stores. If it was not for EVGA queue, i would only buy at micro center ( still EVGA of course ).

    Must be nice because you're camping out for days here in SoCal for a chance of getting a drop at microcenter.
