VOUCHER CODE DEALS CONCEPT PLAN!

Not open for further replies.
@Gibbo any heads up what time the MM code drop might be today in order to save us refreshing ever 10mins? I ordered a 3060 yesterday but my card got declined. Why I don't know, there's more than enough in the account to cover it.

Looking at HUBs 3060 review made me very glad I might be getting a 6700 XT instead (fingers crossed)

Also to warn you guys the moment a voucher code gets leaked, this all ends, which makes us very worried about a more public deal, so you all really need to understand you see the code it’s for your eyes only. If you share it the deal will be pulled and the deals likely won’t happen again so you spoil it for yourselves and everyone else as we’re offering large volumes at prices hundreds of pounds cheaper than elsewhere so by all means buy but use and keep the card for yourself and if in three months time you want to upgrade and sell it on that’s fine but selling something before you have even taken delivery shows your intentions to scalp and we will look upon anyone doing this very poorly and also including those who try to sell on within a few weeks.

Just remember the reasoning behind doing this guys, it’s to help you gamers out, we’re going to a lot of effort to make this work.

Unfortunately someone will ruin it for everyone as some are so self-entitled that they don't care!

That is what we did with Zotac, several staff members monitor Ebay and other sale mediums and when we spot it we cancel orders even when not doing forum deals but as this is a forum deal it needed mentioning.

Isnt there a way to make the forum codes account unique? I know student beans does it with their ones.

We’re trying to help you guys out by offering you cards at extremely cheap prices compared to the rest of the market because you all keep telling us how you can’t get cards and want to upgrade to play games. We want to try and help you out to game and not have to pay over the odds to do so and we have found a system which seems to work.

It is great to see OcUK supporting loyal forum members by offering cards at fantastic prices.

Hopefully everyone on the forums will support this move and not try to take advantage.

Thanks OcUK and @Gibbo

How hard would be to release codes in batches? and only for people that reply on the MM, so they get the code via PM.
Let say you release the code for 20 cards, people post in the MM, you send the code via PM... sell 20 cards, change the code.. rinse and repeat.
So if a code gets leaked, you will know that was one of the 20 people

Unfortunately I’ve got my day job to get on with too though it might seem it I can’t be none stop active on the forum otherwise the warehouse would empty. :p

Also setting up codes takes two people and they are very time consuming, we can literally only do one code a day.

well...look at it this way we waited five hours for the code to be properly set up for the test yesterday.
Managing this could quickly turn into a full time job

True, but wouldnt OCUK like to have the reputation of being there for its loyal customers and actively fighting the scalpers and bots?

For two people it’s simply not possible hence why it’s one deal a day or every couple of days.

We’re really going out of way to do this for you guys it’s not a simple few minutes job, it takes a long time and requires two people to interact and of course we’re all working from home......

Right... I thought was just a matter of setting up the stock for 20, setting the price + voucher and putting it live.

Was just trying to give ideas to help
 
IMO the voucher code deals should continue to be posted in MM. Put them on the public forum and they'll be on every scalper discord and twitter within minutes.

I completely agree, you guys don't have to do this, but it is very much appreciated by most of us.

Id say we already do, don’t see anyone else doing what we’re doing. :)

Thats very very true (and ofc, theres a lot of butt hurt discord surfers / bot owners). Cant see the situation changing anytime soon, 2022 or even 2023 maybe.

Edit:

Just want to say `Thank You` for trying !
