How early do they hand out vouchers for the cards?

This shortage is getting ridiculous. I have a 1050ti and was there in like November. Should have just bought a 2080 when I could have.

Are Mondays good days to go? I woke up so early today but everything I am reading says tuesday-friday.

Was there like two Mondays ago and I got there right around opening time. They said they already handed out 4 vouchers. 4!

Greetings. I am sorry we would not have an exact time to provide you. We have seen most customers are going to the store before it opens to see if we have received shipments. Most often we seem to receive shipments on the weekdays. I'm unable to promise when we'll be receiving any new shipments or offer when to expect a shipment will be delivered, but it seems that most have success going in the morning before we open.

The one time I went there was 30ish people lined up at 4am.

They started vouchers at 7am and handed the last one at 8am. There were still 6 people ahead of me at 8am.

This was at the Tustin location.

@Senate thanks for sharing your experience. I'm just curious, but since the one time at the Tustin store, have you been able to come across a GPU?

Senate

No sir. Trying online retailers using discord notifications, close but no luck yet.

@Senate sorry to hear that. Online depending on what card you are looking for, you may pay about $200 more online than local retailer for GPUs. If you are open to a 1650, see below. Otherwise you're already aware of the process for MC and GPUs.

Anyway good luck to you.

@machinist0613 Hey there!

The voucher system is really dependent on the store location. At the Columbus location, we have only done vouchers for launch days. We really have not used the vouchers since the initial launch. We now run on a first come, first serve basis.
