VOUCHER CODE DEALS CONCEPT PLAN!

[Nexus18]

How can we tell what your gonna do with the card when you buy it? The simple answer is we cannot! Which is the issue, it is impossible to know!

Yup I get that, I meant more for how are you limiting it i.e. "The deal SKU is 1pc per customers and limited to UK only customers."

Is that tied to their forum account or their shop account? As if it is just the shop account, then they could just create multiple shop accounts to get around this where as if tied to the forum account, it would be much harder to get around.

Unless you could have it so that shop accounts with less than a certain spend are excluded from using the voucher code?

So there’s still no way of anyone knowing exactly what time they’ll be going up for sale?

@Gibbo your should make the code unique, have the person reply in the MM thread and they get sent a message via trust with a personal use once code.

Stops people buying more than one card, and stops the code from being shared regardless as it only has one use.

This!

Probably too labour intensive.

Management of multiple codes gets messy, maybe after trialing the idea, as it would require development or purchasing an off-the-shelf product.

This is great, I hope it means some of the guys who have missed out on drops can actually get something.

Can't wait for the FB group posts "OMG have you seen how much OCUK are asking for a 3060!?!?!?"

well at least we know its

Looks like it might be some time before I get a new card with my post rate...

We need a process which doesn't require us to hire someone full time just to handle issuing of codes.

You are only using one of SKU, so unless you literally have hundreds in stock I can't see it being a full time job.

Also maybe if you just add £5 to every card you sell them you could in fact hire a contact based employee to do the job at zero cost to OCUK, until you sort out a better automated code system.

I don’t think 6 months is long enough myself. Many people only joined six months ago when the cards were released. Never contributed to the forum before, only jumped on because of the difficulty in getting a card. If there’d been enough cards, you’d have never seen them. For me, it should be 3 years and 2k posts minimum.

Fantastic idea @Gibbo, all but given up hope of getting a card. Now I actually have a realistic chance of getting one. Would love a deal on a 6800XT

 

[XeNoNF50]

That's about as fair as you can do it. Well done.

 

[Martini1991]

I'm game for this.

Can I get a card for my brother and or girlfriend? Like say a 3060ti for my girlfriend and a 3070 for my brother?
I've already got a 6800 from yourselves

Sure, 1000 of your english pounds to you Sir.

 

[batfink]

Nice idea. I'm a long, long, long way from 1,000 posts though!

 

[robaylesbury]

280 posts ove several years for me. I float in and out. It's good that loyal members are going to be rewarded, and anything that enables genuine gamers to snaffle a GPU is fine in my book. I shall plod on through the barren hellscape we used to call GPU land. . . .

 

[exhashdotdot]

Sounds like a good idea.

I'm assuming this will be posted in the PC Hardware section of MM?
