Pathetic. As I've said before you're becoming every other manufacturer. My loyalty is dead.
 
And btw, not letting ME choose the charity? That's extremely asinine..I don't' want donate to some leftist garbage, thanks.
 

Wow dude, you're terrible.
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospitalis leftist garbage? You're crazy.

Yes, I confirmed with EVGA that for folks over a certain amount (I believe it is $600, but don’t quote me on this specific number), EVGA will require a 1099.  

PayPal is also required to issue a 1099 if payments received for sale of goods or services exceeds $600 over the calendar year.     Hopefully, EVGA and PayPal have this worked out so you don't receive two 1099s.

And if you cash in less than $600 hoping to avoid the 1099 but you received any other PayPal payments during the year, the combination of payments could exceed the $600 threshold and PayPal will issue a 1099.

That is easily handled by an accountant when filing. I had 1099s referencing the same transactions from paypal and another service last year. Paypal will not do a corrected 1099 btw I asked.

You report the income on both like normal and then you add the paypal as a deduction under other expenses as an adjustment I believe. (Not an accountant just trying to remember what mine did last year.)

How does this work if you're in Canada? I never really use Paypal for anything; does anyone know if I will get hit with any fees or taxes or anything over here?

Enewt, did you broker some sort of deal with EVGA? I think you would bankrupt them if you cashed in all your EVGA bucks 😂

Contact EVGA they may be able to set up alternatives such as a wire transfer, check, or direct deposit.

Zotac is king once again

I used to participate in EVGA's folding team but stopped quite a few years ago. At least I can get some cash with my points now.

Nice ride while it lasted...I will remain here. for there are some really great people here...well worth knowing...EVGA still has great support and excellent products.  While other companies gouged prices, EVGA kept theirs realistic and didn't offend.

Well, didn't have any EVGABucks to give up in the first place, so no big loss.

We were lucky evgabucks program lasted this long. 

Very true.

I feel the loss of the Associate program

The silver lining, if you can call it that, is that a certain someone can't beat his troll drums and call you a shill any longer.

I do like that they're keeping the discount program going, however.

Yes, keeping the discount program is the real value to the community. Getting a discount off of retail for ordering direct; both EVGA and consumers benefit.

No, I haven’t and I don’t think I am the one they would be concerned about. Probably the Element35Gaming folks (who did that commercial queue tracker with the registration and giveaways) or the Associate account for the PC forum on Reddit…. I imagine those accounts could appear on the EVGA cap table after this.

Mr. 'EVGA doesn't pay me anything', what did you cash out at? $10,000?

Maybe they got the idea from you — in which case, thanks, I guess.

By the way, nice job staying on brand. At least you’re consistent.

more like $100k+, and good for him
 
Personally, I can't thank EVGA enough for keeping their Associate and EVGA Bucks programs active throughout the pandemic. Many people, including me, desperately needed some type of camaraderie to keep their morale boosted. We found it here in the EVGA forums, supporting eachother, during the worst chip shortage in the history of this industry. EVGA kept their prices at MSRP, while other manufacturers and resellers made deals with resellers to overcharge based on stock. Best of luck to all of you. I am a 15+ year EVGA customer, and my loyalty is confirmed.
 
Outstanding Work!

19 years is a long time for a program like this. When the supply chain issues hit, necessitating the queue…so much of their sales moving to their direct-to-consumer channel, I thought was inevitable that we were in the final days of the EVGA bucks program. The fact that the program say 2022 is amazing, in my opinion. And I couldn’t agree more: having this community (including ty_ger07) kept me sane during the long wait for a card…I really appreciated the virtual companionship. I hope that part of the EVGA forums never ends.

that's sad to hear, but what's more sadder is that this is happening at a time where there's literally nothing in stock at the EVGA (EU) store, so you cant make the best out of it even if your forced to use it to a deadline.
sure a few keyboards, a mouse and a capture device... that's it (checked on 14-06-2022)

Is there a way to cancel the cashout request? Didn't see that it would be sent in October and I found something on the webstore that I'd like to buy.

suggest you Call Customer Service

Well evga support got back with me. They have no options for people that can’t use paypal other the to buy something or donate it. This will definitely influence my future buying choices. I mean just about every bank has zelle and its free…

But not every company has Zelle. As a matter of fact, Zelle is tied to personal account and is not allowed to be used for business transactions, so it wouldn’t be an option.

That's the least amount of money I've given to a cat house. Usually it's about $70 but all to a good cause.
