I been trying to figure this out and seem to cant find the answer. I noticed in the Hot Deals section there is a 7900GS on sale for 109 after rebate. Im thinking of buying this card for my brothers computer as he needs a upgrade from a X300. I want a 8600 when it comes out. Since EVGA has a stepup program I want to use this 7900GS as the stepup card and then ill give my brother my X1900XT.

Question is, how do they figure out the what price they go off to give you in credit? When I step up this card, am I going to get 109 in credit or 189? Im trying to budget my new computer, and I need a good estimate on how much extra im going to be paying for the 8600.
 
So I found this, that I missed the first time:

A: The Step-Up™ Program is free; you are required to pay the difference between your original invoice price, less any applicable rebates, and the price of the new card, plus any applicable tax and shipping. The program itself has no cost associated with it.

Im confused on what, "Less any applicable rebates" means. Just the wording I think it throwing me off.
 
It means you'll get $109. You need to mail back all of the packaging from your 7900GS for the Step-Up, so they'll see by the missing barcode that you got a rebate on it.
 
All they will ask for is the invoice to show what you originally paid for the card.However,I beleive you have to return the card in its original box and if its missing the UPC code they may ask questions.Give them a call as they have great customer service..
