Also thanks cbt123 for the update on the status.

Everyone should get all the quizzes done and collect as many points as you can right now so you can order the second it comes up.

There are lots of new learning available right now, so you should be able to get rockstar status if you are a new member. (Rockstars get better pricing)

https://retailedge.intel.com/

There are 10 mandatory quizzes to do and you also have to verify your employment status to get the deal. If you want a slightly better price, do ALL the quizzes possible to attain rockstar status.

Pretty much any retailer that sells intel computers are eligible.

do you know if rogers employees are eligible for this? I wasn't eligible for the summer deal this year, but I was eligible for last years winter deal.

The only real way would be to try and verify your status right now.

[dscott01]

How many points have typically been required for the holiday deal in the past?

[Fantaz]

What do they have? ***************

I logged onto my rogers linked account and can see the deal announcement... shows the required trainings, ect. so I assume we're eligible.

[Eyeronik]

How many points have typically been required for the holiday deal in the past?

I believe it has been 20 000 chips to get to producer. Only an hour or two of work if you know your stuff/know intel

[Westnylenet]

Would my account from 2008 have expired? probably.

yes it would have expired. If you are still working for a retail company, you can reactivate the employment verification.

Yeah its pretty easy to do the quizzes. I don't read any of the articles or the videos, i just skip to the questions and answer them. Sometimes I won't pass on the first try, so just have to change 1 or 2 answers that im not 100% sure with.

@Fantaz, they usually have CPU and MB for a VERY cheap price. Also SSDs and games and stuff. You can also spend the points you earned doing the quizzes to buy things from the store. Also you keep your status even if you spend all your chips(points).

I usually go afk after the deals and lose my rockstar status. But all i need to do is do a couple quizzes for 2000 chips and i automatically get bumped back up to rockstar status.

[cloakster]

Got the i7 2700k last year for so cheap that it ended up being a free upgrade from the i5 2500k. Hopefully its a 3770k so I can do the same thing again

[Gangsta]

I've never heard of this before. Fill out quizzes and get a good deal on a CPU? wat.

yup, been, it's been posted before for the summer and on other forums for ages. I'm just surprised it was just posted here for the holiday lol.

[I RFD]

how often do you have to verify your employment? Every 6,12, 24months or...?

Edit: heres my answer: retailedge.intel.com/sites/sp/pages/TermsAndConditions.aspx#Verification

Sponsor reserves the right to verify Member’s employment in order to establish initial and continued eligibility for the Program or Program rewards. To participate in Program rewards, employment verification must be completed as determined at the sole discretion of the Sponsor. Verifications are valid for ninety (90) days. Final determination of employment and Program eligibility is at Sponsor’s sole discretion.

[JAC]

If you don't qualify, you can always join the other ten thousand RFD members begging for someone to sell them the combo at cost.

[DJDiggler]

every 90 days just email a pay stub with your name on it. For some employers who give you a email you can just send a email from your company address.
