So I wanted to enter my 3090 XC3 Ultra into the Step-Up Program for a 3090 FTW3 but I was wondering if I should enter the original MSRP that was for sale or the exact price paid. I purchased my card from Best Buy which had an original price of 1699.99, but I used $100 worth of Best Buy Rewards to knock $100 off the final price so the total before taxes would be $1599.99. Which would be the appropriate amount to enter?

The MSRP. Those rewards points are your money. Don't include tax or shipping.

https://www.evga.com/support/stepup/ CALCULATING STEP-UP COSTS
Simply put, the cost of EVGA Step-Up is the difference between what you paid for your original product and the new product listed at the EVGA Store. To calculate what you paid, follow these simple steps:
Add line-item price
If you purchase a product as part of a Bundle or DIY from EVGA.com, you must subtract the discount applied to all items. See the above FAQ or example below for an explanation on how to determine the correct cost for a Bundle or DIY item.
Do not include taxes.
Do not include shipping.
Subtract rebates from the line item-price.
Subtract from MSRP as listed on EVGA. $1699.99 is what you paid , no taxes ,etc..

The only thing is matter: price in your proof of purchase(receipt). If there $1699.99, then this price will be used for Step-Up. If there $1599.99(and it probably it is, because you didn't pay taxes on full price), then you out of luck. As example, I Step-Up from 3060 with MSRP $389.99, but I used associate code and my "Original Product: -$378.29".
Also you have to pay sales tax based on full $1869.99 amount. If your tax rate around 7.5% like mine it will be another ~$140.
Use associate code to save 3% on your EVGA GPU purchase! And up to 10% on other products!

Nick_shl, you used a discount code, which give your result. The OP was asking about a gift card, which doesn't reduce the price at all. So their MSRP would still be $1699. Hope this helps clear that up!

Hope this helps clear that up! No, he asking about reward certificate, not about gift card. According My Best Buy terms: " Reward certificates are coupons for discounts on future purchases and may be redeemed only for a discount". Also this certificates is non-transferable. Any gift cards is basically money and always applied on top of full price + tax. In this case: NewSlang22I used $100 worth of Best Buy Rewards to knock $100 off the final price so the total before taxes would be $1599.99 Which mean it is not a gift card, it is discount similar to affiliated code discount. But it is all theoretical without receipt. As I said, only price in receipt matter: " To calculate what you paid, follow these simple steps: Add line-item price".

Thanks for all the help everyone! I just went ahead and entered 1699.99 as the "line-item" price for the GPU, ignoring my discount used. Hopefully I'll be eligible for a FTW3 by the end of the year.

Rewards certificates are money to be spent at Best Buy, earned by spending money. This is the same as points on a credit card. The price paid is $1699, the rewards certificate is the OP’s Best Buy money.
Associate code is a discount, not the same.

To clarify, EVGA bucks are counted as real money and reduces step up cost, but discount % from either an associate code or elite wheel spin does not reduce stup up cost. Correct?

EVGA Bucks are good only for new purchases made at EVGA's online store. The EVGA Step-Up is considered a promotion and cannot be combined with EVGA bucks in any way. https://www.evga.com/support/stepup/What I meant was calculated the cost owed if bucks and codes were used on the old card. They mention rebates on the site which I don't know if they classify the same as codes and evga bucks. For example, old card msrp is $400 and new card is $800. Cost owed is $800 - $400 = $400 owed to evga, +Tax, +Shipping.to EVGA, +Shipping from EVGA But: For the old card, if $40 EVGA bucks were used and 3% associated code for -$12 was used and 10% elite code for -$40, do any of these affect how much is owed for the new card? Is it still $400 plus tax and shipping, or is it ($400 +$40 +$12 +40 = $492 plus tax and shipping) or something in between?

I have always figured that EVGA bucks would count as a promotional discount and be taken off of the price paid for the card. I could be wrong of course. I just have always figured that if I saved like $60 on the graphics card I would put it as $60 less then MSRP when stepping up. Of course the EVGA bucks can not be used to cover the difference in what the Step Up program calculates the difference as. It only allows to the price paid for the original graphics card.

Looks like EVGA bucks are not counted as promotional discount but the %off coupon codes do count. This is for calculating what is owed to EVGA for step-up, which must be all local currency. Answer from evga rep: ( Hello,For the Step-Up Program the cost difference will be of what you bought the card for after all the discounts/promotions included and then the price of the new card. EVGA Bucks aren't considered a discount. For example, if the MSRP of the old card was $400 and then after discounts the final price was $350, then you would owe the difference between $350 and whatever the new card costs. If you have any other questions let us know and we'd be glad to help! Regards,EVGA) Good news if you used a lot of EVGA bucks to buy the old card.
