If you watch the
TeamEVGA Twitch podcasts regularly you gain E-Points just based on duration spent watching, and you can then
redeem those E-points for Elite membership. 5,000 E-Points = Elite membership. Easy. Doesn't take all that long, and certainly less annoying to everyone than spamming the forums, plus their podcasts are usually entertaining and informational, with different guests and some celebrity types, and usually some giveaways (keyboards, mice, sometimes GPU cards!).
Note: they often go beyond the scheduled times, particularly on Fridays the stream can easily go for 2+ hours. Also stick around at the end of the stream as you get 250 E-points for joining their raid to some other stream when EVGA's stream finishes. Friday nights are the best, but here's their
schedule:
Tuesday 8am - 9am pacific time (11am - 12pm eastern time) - "Tech Tuesday" - talk show and podcast.
Thursday 1pm - 2pm pacific time (4pm - 5pm eastern time) - "Throwback Thursday Gaming" - this week they're playing Hitman: Codename 47.
Friday 3pm - 4pm pacific time (6pm - 7pm eastern time) - "EVGA Weekly Live!" - anything can happen, and it usually does..
