grr must resist. I've been pondering a 1GB 4870 since the pricedrops but the best one is the Sapphire which is OOS. I wouldn't really use the card's power right away but idk if my 4850 will last a year or so which is when I'd next want to upgrade. New stuff coming soon...must...not...buy now.
You could also do a promo code stack on the MSI GTX 260 (192 shaders) and end up at like $150 :o *It also has a $20 MIR that you can find on the MSI website :o

rofl, I did a refresh and that Sapphire card was listed as in stock :o went through checkout as fast as I could but I got an email from Newegg claiming it was OOS :( It's been charged to PP but I'm sure that will be reversed, idk if I've used up my one chance for 15% though. And there's about 140 people in queue for live chat Lol.
Yea I made my order @ 5:00 am eastern so far no problems.

Well, it worked fine except for the stock status being false, or maybe they had like 2 and someone else got them :p Could have gone for the HIS standard cooling 1GB 4870 model instead but it's now showing OOS as well. Ah well, I keep telling myself I'm better off keeping what I've got ;) especially since I've got a game backlog as it is - I need to spend less times reading forums.
I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get more ram, OCZ 2x2GB DDR2-1000 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227280) for $15-16 after rebate, 15% paypal cashback, and 2.75% live cashback.

Wow, that GTX 260 Superclocked 216 shader card (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130400&nm_mc=OTC-PayPalHoliday2008&cm_mmc=OTC-PayPalHoliday2008-_-DesktopGraphicsVideoCards-_-L1B-_-14130400) for 249.99 AND free shipping is mighty tempting . . .
why do they do this when I don't have any money???

Thanks...I snagged an Acer 20" LCD to replace this Samsung 17" CRT...ought to be a great upgrade.
How do you know when funds have run out? Do you know before you click order or is it a surprise 2 days later when the cash never goes to your account after it's too late?

One of the terms is 'as long as it shows on the Newegg website.' So in other words, when you go to the main Newegg page and the banner under the item menus still shows it, it's good. Atm it's still up.

Awesome. Placed an order for some Christmas presents. Thanks for the find.

Also since it's only a two day wait you can hold the package unopened and refuse delivery-return it if you don't get the money :p
That's one vastly better thing about this year's promotion, the cashback is very fast.

Receive 15% cash back on purchases, excluding tax and shipping ("Offer"). Offer applies to transactions at www.Newegg.com when you use PayPal as the payment method. Offer valid on December 15, 2008 and only as long as the Newegg.com website indicates that the 15% cash back promotion is available. The maximum amount of cash back per PayPal account is $50.00. The cash back will be deposited into your PayPal account by January 31, 2009.
Says Jan 31 2009 here???

Yeah that's like Paypal's standard terms. If you read the Newegg Email promo that had the offer at the bottom are the terms and it says refund is by Dec 17th. Also it says that any refunds will be minus the cashback amount so they are covering themselves that way rather than delaying the payment. Probably something Newegg did special by fronting the cash or whatever.
Here are the terms from Newegg's promo email, not much time left and it looks as if there are still funds available:
Newegg customers are eligible to receive fifteen percent (15%) cash back on certain orders placed on December 15, 2008, subject to the terms set forth on this page.
To be eligible for this cash back offer, your order must be placed on the www.newegg.com website between 12:01 am and 11:59 pm on December 15, 2008 (Pacific Time) and before the funds for this promotion are depleted, whichever occurs first, and you must use PayPal as your payment method. For purposes of this promotion, your order is deemed placed at the moment you complete the checkout process.
For each qualifying order, the cash back amount shall be equal to the lesser of (1) fifteen percent (15%) of the order amount (net of taxes and shipping/handling charges), or (2) US $50.00.
If you place a qualifying order, you shall receive cash back in the form of a credit to your PayPal account within 48 hours from the date you placed your qualifying order. You are limited to one cash back credit (not to exceed $50.00) per PayPal account, regardless of the number of qualifying orders you place.
Please note: Only a limited amount of funds are available for this cash back promotion. If your order is placed after all of these funds have been allocated to other qualified orders, you will not be eligible to receive cash back - even if your order is placed on December 15, 2008.
The decisions of Newegg Inc. shall be binding and final with respect to all matters relating to this promotion, including the determination of which orders are eligible to receive cash back.
If you are otherwise entitled to a refund or credit for an order for which you received cash back under this promotion, your refund or credit shall be reduced by the amount of cash back already credited to your PayPal account.
Any order subject to this promotion is also subject to all terms and conditions contained in Newegg’s standard Policy and Agreement, except to the extent of any express conflict between the terms of this promotion and the Policy and Agreement.

I was going to be placing the order anyway, this just sweetened the deal.
The thing is, you have no idea when they will run out of funds or if they already have. Just because the banner is up doesn't mean the offer is still good.

Anyone know if they still have funds

Since today is December 16th and the promotion was for December 15th it doesn't matter, it's over.

I guess they ran out of funds cause I didn't get 15% back.
did anyone get paid? I don;t think i did either. anyone here got paid or not paid?

'By December 17th' for the cashback so I'm going to treat it like banking stuff and wait until midnight at least. In the meantime I'm going to chat with a Newegg rep to see if my order made the cutoff. I just wish I had looked at what I ended up getting earlier in the day when I knew 100% it was still good.
The other way to know if your order qualified is if it showed the 15% discount during Paypal checkout before finalizing the payment. Like so:

I almost clicked on that gtx 260 216 sc but restrained myself at the last second. Holding out for the 55nm's and the revamped ATI's in Jan.

Hello my name is Pheobe. How may I help you today?

Hello. I have a question regarding the order # {0} I entered in to the chat.
6:53:30 PM me
This order qwas placed during the Paypal 15% cashback promotion. Was it submitted while funds were still available so that I will get the 15% cashback?
6:54:14 PM Pheobe
We have been informed that any Paypal order that was successfully placed on the 15th should qualify for the cash back offer. my edit, not in the chat: I don't know about that since it was one order per Paypal account but probably just a misinterpretation
6:54:19 PM Pheobe
The refund is being issued by PAYPAL, not Newegg. Unfortunately we cannot control when the refunds will be submitted as it is not taking place on our end.
6:54:24 PM Pheobe
The refunds should be submitted by the end of today. Paypal has informed us that are going to send a confirmation email tomorrow after all of the funds have been disbursed.
6:55:55 PM Pheobe
Is there anything else I can help you with today?
6:56:02 PM me
Ok, great. That's all. You've been very helpful.
6:56:10 PM Pheobe
Thank you for contacting us. I hope you have an Eggcellent day!

You too. Goodbye.
