Bummer. I always purchased this.

Like their "lifetime" warranty before it, it was probably shut down because people were abusing it. People were probably buying advanced RMAs on their cards as a way to get another at MSRP then scalp the cards while never sending back their original card. Some people are scumbags and unfortunately they end up ruining good things for everyone else. 

Wow, never even thought of something like that happening. I have yet to purchase the Advanced RMA nor an extended warranty. I've only had one EVGA card ever fail on me and that was a GTX 480 Hydro Copper.

There were people openly asking questions "what happens if I don't return my RMA" in the warranty section here just a few months ago. Some people just don't care and only see $$$. In a GPU shortage they don't care if their account here gets banned or they end up having to pay the collateral (which was MSRP of whatever card they were attempting to advance RMA) plus shipping. Cards are selling for 2-3x MSRP on auction sites. Unfortunately scumbags like that and up ruining a good feature for honest buyers who just want the protection of not having to go days or weeks without a card while they await a replacement. 

Wow I got in just in time last weekend.

I believe some are confusing the promotional EAR and Cross Ship RMA. We have not done away with Cross Ships - only the EAR program due to rampant abuse of the program and fraud. No plans to reinstate it at this time.

I thought cross shipment was tied to EAR - is that still an option for regular RMAs?  Disappointing to hear that EAR got abused - glad I signed up for it before it went away, planning to keep my current card for a good while.

Wow, glad I decided to get the advanced RMA yesterday.

Annndddd.... yet again, it only takes a few scumbags to ruin a good thing for everyone. Although, if it was being abused that badly im glad they stopped the program rather than let the scum run the whole company into the ground. We have very few good companys to start with and even fewer good tech companys, we dont need to lose one of the good ones.

man....people suck.

Does it follow the same process in non-U.S. regions such as Asia? Thank you

I was literally going to sign up for this today because my 80ti isnt putting out video signal. Damn what are the odds it would get removed today....

We can still assist with a RMA for you. 

I put in a "submit question" for it earlier today if that is how it is supposed to be done? I find the process a bit confusing... Though the last card that I have RMA'd was a step-up from an 8800gt heh

EAR and Cross Ship were identical only difference is it would not require the full MSRP collateral up front and was a paid service. We tried to be vigilant in verifying information but unfortunately some ruined it for all honest customers. 

You should just change the policy to double or triple the cost of the item. Getting rid of it altogether would just alienate any legitimate RMA claim owner. I've never needed to do an RMA but as an owner of a EVGA 980 Ti, 3080, and a 3080 Ti this concerns me. If my video card is dead, having a dead PC would be unbearable. I wouldn't care what you would charge me to do the advance RMA as I know it would be returned to me. Most owners would understand the situation and accept this I would imagine.

Ya you guys should charge 3x the price if they keep the card so it won’t affect the honest costumer.

man so they were able to remove the advance rma program smoothly but I still can't purchase an extended warranty for my 3070ti ftw ? x.x

This is simply a website issue. Go ahead and submit a support ticket and we can open a payment portal on your account and add the extended warranty on the backend. 

Really bummed out that my 3080ti ftw3 ultra needs rma as its running at max 93c anytime i put a load on it and yet when I call after doing these advance rma's in the past without issue I'm told it ended 4 days ago...the day after I got my card from you. If I had just been faster and registered it BEFORE installing troubleshooting and discovering the problem I would have been able to get it.
 
Man my luck is just the worst....now I have "spend" $2800+ on top of the $1400+ I spent for the card just to get a properly working card in my system within a week vs what likely would be a month of cross shipment across the whole country.
 
I don't have it and always relied on advance rma with you guys in the past for my issues and was always diligent about sending back the rma.
 
I get why....but it still really screws me over.
