Palit is really happy that I'm out posting in forums and such because everyone knows that people savvy enough to post in forums are the same people that are giving advice on which cards to buy.
So I thought it would be cool to do find a way to reward those folks. So here's my idea.
I can generate a coupon code good for $XX off a card at e-tailers. This code would be issued to people via PM , must be requested and would be associated with that person only. That person can then post that code when giving advice in forums or even just talking to people. Every time someone buys a card using that code, the person it belongs to gets one point and the person buying the card gets a discount.
Those points can be saved up and redeemed against Palit video cards at the rate of one point=one dollar.
So if you want a card that costs $250 you redeem 250 points and I send you your card. If you get 500 points you could get two cards. If you get 1,000 points you would get four.
I understand that no one needs four video cards (for now anyway) so the extra cards could be given away or traded to your friends or even sold on e-bay. I understand that some people think swag shouldn't be sold on e-bay but I don't really care. I'd rather you have something you need/want and if the video card you got doesn't fit that bill, sell it and get something you do want.
There is no limit on the number of people that can use the coupon code but it would have a limited lifespan, like only good for a week or just a weekend. You can always come back and get a new code for the next special and all those points would go into one pool. So if you get a code for the 8800GT 1GB one week and a 9600GT 512MB Sonic the next week, all the points you get from people buying both cards go into a single pool.
Points are good for one year and can be redeemed for any video card available at the time of redemption.
So I'm not looking for people that want to do this just yet, I'm just trying to get a feel for what people think about it.
