For the record, I was against including post count. It's too much spam in the forum. ;)

I'm glad they have the option even if it takes forever to accomplish. I wish my 7900 GT and 7950GT I registered in 2007 qualify.

Saying that they will review for spam posts won't work either as the number if new accounts is ridiculous.
Yeah, seems like no reviews. It's weekend and someone became elite https://forums.evga.com/O...what-now-m3276214.aspx
The first post an account makes is manually reviewed and any subsequent posts that are flagged as spam. The post timer is only 2 minutes so optimally you can hit Elite status in 3 hours 20 minutes from registration, not counting the review period for the first post.

EVGA never expanded the Elite Membership, if you are referring to the 100 post requirement. It was one of the options of becoming an Elite Member, prior to EVGA offering the 24 hr Elite Member auto notify advantage. Like I said, even before this new offer, being an Elite Member is very easy to get.
I always thought Elite membership was a type of customer loyalty reward program. It's sad to learn that there really isn't any customer loyalty program at EVGA. If Ferarri releases a new car, they first offer the car to their loyal customers. Isn't that way it should be?

The Ferrari program is horrible. If they ran Elite like Ferrari no one on these forums would be able to buy a gpu. In case anyone is is wondering, you can’t buy a new Ferrari unless you have owned X amount of Ferrari’s. Reason being is that Ferrari won’t let their dealers sell the cars over msrp, so as a work around dealers sell them to their “loyal” customers who get to use them for x amount of time and miles then they sell it back to the dealership who doubles/triples/quadruple the price and sells it as used.

waiting lists,
One question, I signed up for a waiting list for several products even if I am not an elite member they will notify me or only the elite members is the notification,
Next question, what waiting times are being managed in the community, I understand that officially the support and other members do not manage these lists or times but from the rumors among the members?

1. Which ever queue(s) you are in, you will receive a notification. The new Elite member advantage is a 24 hour sign up for NEW products only, before they are available to non-Elite customers. The 3080Ti will be the next new release GPU that is affected by the new program which is why the craziness to get Elite. So instead of one massive queue, there will be two, one Elite and one non-Elite. 2. Forum member "enewt" posts almost daily summary updates on the queue lists for NA. Yes, it relies on member input re: dtg of position in queue and notification. They have done a great job on it and it will give a good idea where you are based upon your queue signup dtg. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NrR71ipaJktCzT1pWj9FWxNHGWAbcxMorvRvEPaPh48/edit

It sounds like elite membership still doesn't help when there just aren't enough cards out there, but we'll all keep trying right?

It opens up a facet of EVGA to new people, growing their community and also still providing what I would consider a positive restriction on the future cards to release.

I somewhat agree that Elite status should time-gated and purchase-gated. One way that I think is fair would be having an account as old or older than the last generation of GPU releases, and that has purchased at least one EVGA PC component product (graphics card or motherboard). Nominally, that means it takes about two years to become an Elite. My reasoning behind this is that I think it has a higher probability of retaining actual enthusiasts who have shown loyalty to EVGA in the past. Then concurrently, they can offer Elite status for forum posts, but with a much higher threshold and with restrictions. I'm thinking 500 posts and omitting the General and Marketplace forums (sorry, but counting to 500 doesn't do much to indicate your enthusiasm).

I love how the vast majority in here think there's always more that can be done to ensure it benefits them more and not everybody else. Were all in here to obtain something for gaming, etc. It's just a way to ensure the Bots don't get their hands on cards. No Bots are going to do 100 posts to try and get a 3080 TI. Will there be some scalpers that do? No question about it. But I think what they've done is pretty commendable

That's not entirely accurate. Anyone with enough cash or good enough credit/income can go buy a brand new 812, F8, or Portofino right now at a dealer and have little to no wait. What you are referring to is limited production models, and special model/trims during the initial launch.

But no 488 Pista. I think I'd much rather grab an Aventador SVJ and continue the Lamborghini tradition of flipping Ferrari the bird. Now I just need to get that winning lotto ticket. :p

To make us familiar with the forum
If you are going to sign up for the Elite Membership Program, I will appreciate if you can use my referral ID: 4BMTH8QB8QTDIDA2N (you
can click on the code). If you do so, let me know by sending me a PM
with your associate code, so I can use it when buying a product, so I
can give back your favor. Thank you!

So what the heck is the point other than a little early access? They are already doing what they can with the waitlist signups, right? This will just be a pre-queue queue

Lol I think you underestimate how big of a difference 24hrs can make with the current situation. The proof is in the queue spreadsheets elsewhere on this forum ;) Also there are obviously other benefits, like store coupons, giveaways, and referral goodies for example.

Yeah it doesn't seem like a good idea, maybe they just wanted to increase forum engagement? It seems like it's just a lot of new spam from people though.
