[flaris]

https://retailedge.intel.com / https://retailedge.intel.com//sites/...ages/deal.aspx

they've unveiled what's being offered, it starts on the 30th.

in a nutshell, if you work at any company i've listed below, you can join the Retail Edge, verify your employment, do enough quizzes to get 10k (it took me 30 minutes to get 10k points) and then you can buy either package. i read somewhere shipping to canada is $20, don't quote me on that.

Since I need another job anyway, I now have the specific list of where to aim.

Don't forget, you have to do some work on the RetailEdge site too!

So how do i get this?

[cquilliam]

This is the one of two reasons why I miss working at Future Shop. This, and the staff discount. What a deal this always is.

So how do i get this?

You have to be an employee at one of the listed stores, it's to support people who sell Intel products. It also sells out really quickly (some parts did last time, anyway) so get in fast if you are!

Also, apparently don't mention anything even remotely relating to not working at the store and trying to get this, my post was deleted simply for alluding to the fact that everyone will be looking for someone to buy this for them.

Too bad no good deal on SSD yet again.... Intel keeps failing their supporters!!!

[Eyeronik]

So i work at the source. How do i go about purchasing a processor?

[cloakster]

Thanks OP for the tip.

Anyone know at what time of the day these sales usually start?

[PanzerIV]

Nice! I work at walmart in Quebec but how exactly do I get to purchase it. Where is it, when exactly and will it be out of stock within 24h?

[UberN00b]

You also have to do about 3 hours worth of quizzes to get 10,000 points to become a 'member' if im not mistaken.

Lucky Retail people.

so,

are there correct answers to choose? will anyone post answers? haha

it's a multiple choice out of 5 or less questions (10 on some but i never did those), when you submit it tells you what % you got correct (only need 80) and you can go back and change the answers. this is not difficult at all, i got 10k points in less than 30 minutes.

Is it possible to get this deal without being an employee?
