AMD Promotion

[HayHay]

I'm buying an rx 580 (8gb) soon and came across a promotion (https://www.amd.com/en/gaming/raise-the-game). The promotion is listed on RX 580s and 570s on Newegg but the card I want to buy is on Amazon with no promotion listed. I'd get from Newegg but I'm trying to go 250$ and below, but with tax from Newegg the prices for the cheapest 580s are higher than the cards on Amazon. That and Amazon will ship a whole lot faster.

So can anyone tell me if this promotion is for all RX gpus bought and not just the ones on Newegg? If so, how do I activate it.

If it says newegg only, it's newegg only. You can't bypass that.

Idk how this works, but don't they usually give the coupons inside  the box?
If you purchased one from a retailer on amazon that basically have new stock (not old ones), u might get the game???

Usually they will mention it on the retailer's page for the product

Usually if you bought it from a qualified retailer, the retailer has a system in place where they either physically include the promotional thing with what you bought or send you an email.

 

EDIT: Even if it came in the actual product itself, chances are it'll have an expiration date.

I wanna try this but I'm fairly certain it's gonna be a dead end.

Thanks for the info/links guys! 

 

I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to buy from Newegg now which kinda sucks, I kinda wanted a backplate and a higher clocked gpu tbh

Okay I've been in chat for over an hour with newegg to get the game package even though I bought it a week ago.

I finally convinced them to provide it, however they are not able to due to it not being available for Europe.

Upon looking neither the chat person nor I could find any information stating that newegg is one of the retailers that is supporting the action.

 

Where does it state on the AMD website that Newegg is actually one of the supported resellers ?

It is available in the EU region. If you look at the pdf link i've posted, they've listed the system integrator from EU, thus making it available in EU as well.

It is available for select shops. The thing is that Newegg is not listed at all in the PDF from AMD, not even for North America, see below.

It's being discussed internally so we will see what comes out of it. Another funny thing is that they want me to pay 78,50 USD for handling costs when I return the product. While this might be normal for the US ( I do not know ) it's against EU law.

Simply returning the card and buy a new one from a different shop that does have their voucher in order will be a headache at this point. For now though I'd say stop buying stuff from Newegg because if a product needs to be returned it will costs you 78,50USD.

While the voucher is a bit of an annoyance, finding out their illegal return policy has been most informative.

Those are system integrators meaning they sell their Desktop along with the bundled gpu. Those are not the only participating retailers.

The others that AMD lists in another document are OEM's. As stated Newegg is not listed by AMD as one of the (online ) retailers that is doing the program.

 

So as previously asked, where does it state on the AMD website that Newegg is actually one of the supported resellers ?

As far as I can see, it's not noted at all.

I've talked to AMD, Amazon and Newegg support as well as the company whose graphics card I'm buying (from Amazon). AMD confirmed that both Amazon and Newegg are participating etailers depending on the brand of the GPU, but it must be listed on the product page of the etailer. XFX confirmed they are a part of the promotion and buying a NEW rx580 from either of the etailers will get you the game bundle. Amazon previously had a few details wrong in the info page of the product but it will be fixed in time. 

 

Honestly, to know for sure, you just have to phone the company whose gpu you're buying to confirm with them if you'll get the game bundle or not - though it most likely will be yes. AMD also stated that as long as you buy a new gpu from anywhere and register it on their/the companys website, you'll get the bundle. 

 

They really need to iron out the details tbh

In a few weeks all the info will be solid but because the promotion just launched, companies like XFX are talking to AMD to get all the details confirmed so yeah
