newegg, bring it back! bring back the 266!!!
Odd...it was supposed to last till Monday.
Yes but this was a special offer promo code sent in the newsletter to those who signed up. I don't think these promo codes are meant to be for anyone & everyone. Sure anyone can use it, after all, how would Newegg know people outside the sale circle were using it unless it was posted in some forum somewhere and they ran across it.:) Has anyone checked to see if the other codes work?Quote:

Oh, well...I guess there's a message there, somewhere, that I should be paying attention to.
I really don't see Newegg pulling the deal because it's posted on a forum, after all, their intention is to sell. I think Irev is correct, they were down to like 20 kits.Quote:

... and you get exactly the price it says on the GeIL setting next to the Tracers, $289.99 but only with the promo code and mail-in-rebate (not something less than the promotion says).
EDIT: The final price on thE GeIL now appears to $295.98 after the $20 mail-in-rebate, so something is screwed up there too.
In short, the base price of these Tracers was supposed to have been at $375.99 (or raised to it), not $325.99.
Somebody at NewEgg screwed up in our favor.
I believe that the previous post is correct, and those of you that got them earlier for the $270 got a Christmas gift in January. :D
Wasn't just the Tracers, the GEIL used to be $250 after its promo code. :-/
Seems like they put up a couple of deals that were too good to be true.
think if i still have this in my cart, in an open web browser at work, with the code applied.. it will go through on monday? lol
When I tried the GeIL today before I ordered the Tracers, I got a price that was much higher than $250. Now, I get $315.98 after entering the promo code (which appears to be working and gives $30 off). However, with the mail-in-rebate of $20 the final price on the GeIL is $295.98, not the $289.99 advertised so something is still screwed up (the base price should be $6 less).Quote:

Wow, damn, thank God my order got processed and credit card got charged before they bumped up the prices to $315 AR. My order reads:

So me > Newegg.
I think they reserve the right to refund your money and keep the item if they screwed up the price, afterall it was advertised at a higher price, and it was just an error that it got calculated to $~270. Hopefully newegg just fixes it and takes the small loss.
Well, my orders got to NewEgg's "step 3" today which mean my credit card was charged and that they should ship on Monday.
I think you're probablly right. I got the exact feeling when I was doing the check-out and found the discrenpancy.:toast:Quote:

I think if Newegg, or any etailer, makes a pricing error that isn't unreasonable, it's their fault and they should honor all the orders placed when the wrong price was posted. It's not like they're taking a huge loss, anyway. And really, honoring their errors only makes customers happier.
Guess I got in in the nick of time too. I paid the $266, and thanks to Newegg's amazing efficiency, the RAM was shipped within 2 hours.
It's nice having a mistake work in my favor every now and again!
A little credit card snag kept mine from shipping on Friday, but because I ordered two sets and I knew this deal wouldn't last, I was quick to contact NewEgg when it appeared my orders were stuck at "step 1".
NewEgg is very concerned about keeping their customers happy and very liberal about paying to do so (but, of course, we know how NewEgg screws people on shipping). I was easily able to get money out of them because they indicated the wrong specs. on the 5400UL deal in November: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...d.php?t=123720
So, I think it is clear that NewEgg intends to eat it on this one. It sounds like most of the RAM already shipped anyways. Otherwise, they should have cancelled my orders on Friday.
