I called Customer Services in case they were able to offer any ETA (had a spare 20 minutes at work).
 
She couldn't give me an update or my position in the queue, unsurprisingly; I knew it was a long shot.
 
But her s****ing throughout the call kinda reflected the companies stance on this; they don't care. Understandable again, they have a business to run, but surely the smart option would have been to not allow Step-Up on cards purchased following the release of 30 series, as a lot of us used this as a way of getting around the scalper/bot situation.
 
Disappointing.

The boat to get an Ampere card with any semblance of SRP has long since sailed. Prices are just ridiculous in the EU now. 1.1-1.4K for 3080s, 2-2.4K for 3090s, 700-900+ for 3070s... There is no choice but to stick with this atm unless you want to purposely want to fuel these retailers ripping off everyone at scalper prices.

Based on the new red warning message in the step up system, basically saying "please dont ring, we dont have answers", im guessing 99% of their phone calls and emails are probably dealing with people like your call 

Could someone please look into this post?

Started step 1 of the step-up on january 25th. Let's see if I'll get my card before RTX 4xxx series hits. :P

Do not trust on hope, it has forsaken this topic....

Seriously, this is getting really really sad :-(

Everything is still cool. 6 Months my last StepUp from 980 to 1080. And I got 50+ days left till the 6 month mark.

My 6 month wait would be 3rd week of March... It's still before April the 16th price increase. I really do hope they deliver though. It's sad we have no news from those next in line from last year. It's been over two months and zero movement.

At least you guys saw some movement in the beginning. I'm in the 3070 queue from launch day and it did not move at all, there were no 3070's shipped in over 3 months.

I said earlier in the thread, they'll wring every penny they can out of this and I wouldn't be surpised if there was no movement until the price increases.
