Windows 10: Customer service run around

Having a problem with wireless keyword received as a Christmas gift Called to customer service The first time waited about 30 minutes and then on hold by the gentleman in Philipines the results were that they could not help me with the issue since I do not know where the gift was purchased from. I called again and This conversation In total took about 2 hours between holds and transfers to 3 different departments. I love the tapes to be reviewed since you record conversations for training purposes. My whole purpose of calls was to either fix the bad USB dongle or how to buy one. and om the 3rd transfer the last guy hung up on me after wasting two hours of my time. It is very strange that there is no leadership listed under customer service which probably shows why such poor and shameful customer service. This is not the end of the world but the end of me purchasing Microsoft products. I certainly hope someone from Microsoft contacts me to change this bad taste in my mouth.

EVGA GTX 2xx series Reinbursement Service

XFX started it and Evga is doing the same. Evga is starting its own reinbursement program for those who bought the Evga 2xx series when they first came out. All you have to do is follow a few steps.

• Must be a new purchase from an authorized EVGA reseller. Step-ups do not qualify.
• You have 14 days to register and upload a qualified invoice to claim your EVGA Bucks.
• Only customers who purhased the EVGA GTX 280 or GTX 260 at the full Manufactured Suggested Reatil Price (MSRP) will qualify for the Reimbursement Program.
• If between June 16th and July 7th you purchased an:

• EVGA GTX 260 you will receive $75.00 in EVGA Bucks* or $60.00 Cash Back
• EVGA GTX 280 you will receive $150.00 in EVGA Bucks* or $125.00 Cash Back

The only thing this doesn't cover is the Step-up program. I'm fine with that because I got the price cut anyway. I just hope to get the card by this weekend if not early next week. I have a itch to bench. *Rockout :rockout:
