Hey guys,
So I purchased a GPU from Superbiiz.com
Specifically a GIGABYTE AMD Radeon R9 390 8GB GDDR5 DVI/HDMI/3DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card
I then later noticed (2 days later) newegg had updated its pricing for the same card for $299 with a $20 mail in rebate after that instead of Superbiiz's $330 card. I know, it stinks that I bought the card a few days to early (Pricing updates came from pcpartpicker.com) anyways, the rebate form states this:
Only Valid at Newegg.com
Which I'm guessing means the rebate would only be valid if I purchased the card through Newegg.com . But on the directions for sending in the rebate, it seems as if It wouldn't check for Newegg being in here, just my UPC code, and recipt (Which would show I purchased it from superbiiz and not newegg.) My question is: Would I still be able to claim the rebate even though I didnt purchase the GPU from Newegg.com?

yeah, but why I'm wondering is because in the terms and conditions, there doesn't say anything about it Newegg

If you visit https://gigabyte.4myrebate.com/ and look under the 'video cards' product category you can see all their current rebate offers. For each rebate offer a specific vendor is mentioned (sometimes newegg, sometimes a different vendor).

From this we can deduce that the rebate will only be viable if linked to the appropriate vendor.
