Yawn, see various other threads where this is discussed

I never meant to put the phrase narrow minded bud, iPad auto thing. Obviously I assume you can see why it would be frustrating for someone that’s spent thousands with them over a decade but then is excluded from there voucher plan scheme

well if you’re got access to those deals I’m not sure why you would feel hard done by? I haven’t and I am in the market for that hardware. So obviously I’m going to feel very differently. But your right it’s brilliant what they’ve been trying to do, I just hope they find a way of including genuine long time customers who might not have been so active on the forums. I wish other company’s would try thing like Overclockers have, instead of just selling the cards at scalper prices. One can dreamI'm sure it is. I've got access to those deals, but I'm not in the market for that hardware. That doesn't mean I feel hard done by, or that I've been excluded because the hardware I want isn't on offer, even though I have also "spent thousands with them over a decade". It is what it is, and I'm actually pleased that some people on the forums are getting the opportunity to buy what they want at this bonkers time, and those cards haven't gone to scalpers or miners.

Everyones spent thousands mate, its not how much you spent. They gave these codes to members who had contributed to the community, helping others solve issues etc. Saying you spent thousands over number of years and therefore i should get a card just makes you sound entitled. Sorry to be so blunt but I've seen this all too often, i also totally understand your frustration too.I never meant to put the phrase narrow minded bud, iPad auto thing.

Well yeh obviously lol, but that can easily fall into an individual’s interpretation. Someone could say I’m trying to be active and post relevant posts to threads to get 50 posts and look at my posts and see they are genuine integration, regardless of intention as they were all relative posts.. Someone else could say well they may have been genuine and relevant posts but knowing you only got active to obtain 50 posts is still classed as spamming in that persons eyes. So no It isn’t that straight forward pal
Can anything be done about this?
FYI OCUK staff - I'm OK with gpu deals via members market - nice little reward for those of us willing to participate in contributing to the community.Hi, I have a long purchase history with Overclockers, going back ten years and have brought a lot of stuff on my account. I didn’t realise but the forums accounts seem to be a separate entity to the main Overclockers account, which means despite my history, I’m am seen as a new member to Overclockers as far as the forums go, which then limits me to be able to get involved in Overclockers new graphics card voucher scheme.

thanks, sorry if it’s a big of a newb question
Do you not realise that OC are actively trying to help members like yourself who've been here a number of years but don't have MM access by drastically reducing the post count of the voucher scheme?There are a lot of us in the same position sadly. Personally I have spent a lot with OCUK over the past 5 years, north of 10k. What I haven’t done is post prolifically on the forums with only a few hundred posts.
I get the impression that they are limited in what they can do by their website and their forums being out of date which means their only option is to target their prolific forum posters for deals over their best customers. Better than nothing but still sucks for those who only visit the forums occasionally or read more than post.
Good idea but for us people who don't go to the forum and only buy instead we can't get it.

I have tried to order a RX6800 in Dec 2020 from OCUK, but payment failed and then the cards were gone. Hopefully can be included in the voucher scheme.
