EVGA step up program question

[chriscaruso8]

So new to PCMR, and I bought a GTX 950 FTW 2.0 from Newegg on sale for $130.00 bucks with a mail in rebate it will be around $100, One of my friends was telling me that it was a good idea that I bought EVGA Card since I can use the Step up program, So I checked it out on there website and it seems really good, but and im curious if I could just upgrade to the GTX 1060, but unclear on how the price reduction part works.

 

If I bought the card for 100 bucks do I follow the price I bought it for or do I follow EVGA MSRP price, since thats 175 Bucks and the GTX 1060 are like 250 I would totally be down to spend the extra 75 bucks to upgrade to a much stronger card. Or do I have to follow the price I bought it from Newegg.

You paid $100 after rebate, so to get a 1060, you have to pay the difference + shipping, so probably $170-180

Right okay It makes sense that way I was just curious to see if they used there MSRP to take the price deduction.

You're good man. I just went through the step up to get my 1080 SC, it's a confusing process at certain steps but hey, you've got the option of trading in a GPU without taking a hit for selling it second hand.
