Same, got the step 3 email yesterday afternoon and made the payment this morning.
 
I'm sending in a 3070 FTW3 for the 3080 FTW3. Originally it was for me, but I got my hands on a 3080Ti FTW3 HydroCopper, so my wife gets to upgrade from the step up. 

My son got his step 5 email today for step up from January 22, 2021.  Will be sending it back tomorrow.  

Nearly dodged a bullet when you don't check your mail for two days. Got my step up for the 3080 and got the mail for step 5.

Seriously, I signed up late Feb when those rumors of the 3080ti was being thrown around so I wasn't expecting a response to this until like late next year.

Just received Step 2 email! Signed up on 01/26 :)

Yeah, the step up que just started to really move in the last month. I was thinking my son's 3080 step up was going to be after Christmas at the earliest but here we are a few months ahead with his 3070XC3 boxed up and ready to be shipped on Friday back to EVGA overnight to be there Monday morning.  Here's hoping to a quick turn around.

From taking my GPU out of my computer to putting the new one back in (assuming no delays occur during transit) will be 12 days. This is with ground shipping both ways across the country (5 days each way) EVGA Received the card on the 27th and the new one left their office on the 29th. (today) - Can't ask for quicker than that!

You could not have signed up late February. They still on late January.

My 3080 according to UPS is set to arrive 11-3

How do you know your psu was stolen and not something else?

I got a UGLY AS HELL Kettle, in the box marked as my EVGA RMA... with someone elses shipping address in said box and NOT my 1300W.

EVGA in the end made it right, and sent me a 1600W but it was ultimately to big for my Lian Li 011 Dynamic XL.

Pulled my son's GPU on the 28th, shipped it on the 29th via next day air.  Should get to EVGA on Monday morning as I paid an arm and a leg to get this overnight next day am delivery.  You don't want to know how much the shipping was, but he needs it for college so I guess the 50 bucks extra could be worth it to hopefully get his gpu back by Friday.  
 
I've done step ups in the past and they took about 2-3 days from delivery to getting the new gpu back out to you.  Sometimes you are lucky and get same day delivery/send out, but for the most part I've seen them take a couple of days.  I'm crossing my fingers to see if his gets out on Tuesday.  
 
 

So when you get your step 2 email, you just wait for an approval with a new bill email?
