Nearly ordered one when the deals started a couple of weeks ago. Then Gibbo posted yesterday there were no more discounts coming this weekend, so I nearly purchased one last night.

Glad i waited, on my lunch break at work and just managed to place my order.

This was in my inbox from MSI this morning, seems they had some last minute decision over night in Asia to run campaign.

Have OCUK provided any support to you guys? They seem very quiet on the page of late and as it was a promotion pushed by them they should really muscle in on this.

Yes, we have pushed them on this matter, but MSI UK has had staffing changes and in short the service levels have dropped.
At least they finally seem to be paying the cashback now and they have calculated the amount the same way I did, so £42.50 is the correct amount.

Where are you working out £42.50 to be the correct amount?

The cashback form states:

"The cashback amount will be 20% back off the price paid on the qualifying MSI Graphics Card at the place of purchase as stated on the invoice."


My invoice total shows £254.99, for purchasing a MSI RX 480 Gaming X 8GB. 20% of 254.99 is more than £42.50....


There is no mention of any other fees, such as VAT being deducted.

20% is VAT, card was £254.99, exc vat that is £212.49, difference £42.50, the thread title states £212 after cashback, add £42.50 and your at the advertised price. That is how I worked it out and clearly MSI have done the same. If you feel that is wrong discuss it with them and see what they say but they have clearly made the same calculation I made when I made this thread and it was advertised as costing £212 after cashback on OcUK meaning customers are owed £42.50 by MSI to meet how this thread was titled/advertised.

Thanks for weighing in Gibbo, I did think the original amount was going to be more than that, but as you've explained it is indeed 42.50. Hopefully they pull their fingers out and actually get the cashback to all of us by the end of this week!

We pushed after Christmas, then again in January, MSI were giving pretty much no response. But like I say UK staffing has changed and things just seem to have taken a turn for the worse. MSI should have worded the campaign better such as "get the VAT back" because it is clearly they have calculated it based on the excluding taxes amount. But in fairness this thread was made and clearly titled £212 after cashback, meaning MSI owe £42.50 to fall in line with what OcUK advertised. Anyone assuming they think they are getting more or less is assumption and well assumption is the mother of all **** ups.
