A Retail Chain or individual location may be disqualified and removed from the Program due to chain or store closure or if they become incompatible with the Program as determined by the Sponsor.

Once a determination of disqualification has been made, members of the store or chain will be sent an e-mail, providing a 30 day notice of deactivation of the chain or location and all member accounts registered to that chain or location.

During this 30-day period, Members may continue to participate in the Program, including Account access and participation in Drawings, Live Events, Purchase Programs and the Online Store ("Rewards"). Participation in Rewards is still subject to all stated Terms and Conditions including employment verification and any eligibility limitations for specific retail chains.

Any Rewards transactions will be rendered inadmissible once the Member account has been deactivated.

If a member has obtained employment at another eligible retail chain or location, they will need to update their account with the correct information within the 30 day period to keep their account active.

I work 8+ years in retail 2 with CompUSA (back when they were the good ole compusa till the end in 2007) and 6 with Office Depot , im a rock legend btw & I am a very active on IREP... I was hoping for the 8 core sku to be part of the deal but looks like its only 6 core one. still not bad of a deal but I may end up getting the 4790k unless u all say DO IT get the 6 core chip you freak

This next part is to the others on here that are ruining it by asking where can I buy one, you know what I mean:

Thy have repeatedly said ( Carl and Aida ) on Official IREP forums that you can't buy one for someone else as its against the ToS

Anything thy offer on summer/winter deal is marked, aka serial #'s and/or part #'s and if they find out who sold one via ebay/cl will get banned and kicked from IREP program. It can and has happened in past. this kind of this ruins it for the rest of us that take part of the program.

its upsetting me what im reading on this thread as I work hard to get where im at, altho not as where I want to be, luckly my store manager appreciates my work as im one of the few employees he has that's good with customers. even tho I wotk freight for last 6 years he moved me to sales floor to help out...

and btw if any1 here sends me any kind of email or pm to buy it for them, I will drop the ban-hammer on you and forward it to a mod too....

I remember before this Intel used to offer their Intel Channel partner offers. Picked up an i7 920, intel board for about 199. Was an amazing deal since at the time the cpu was 300 and board was 150. Having said that, a 5930 for 150$ is amazing as well.

I went 4790k because i did not want to pay overinflated ddr4 prices, its just a luxury epeen item to me still. It would be cheaper to buy the 4790, a good z97 board, and fast fast ddr3 and smarter but if you want to go all out.....then hell go ALL OUT max every cc! Lol

They're basically giving you a 50% discount to be indoctrinated in Intel knowledge, can't they just as easily make all the information publicly available and do the same thing? Why hold it back to just retail people. Why not brain wash the masses?

I don't think you understand what this program is for... And its pointless to complain about it.

Its designed to educate people who sell PC parts and PCs to drive their sales... is your research going to drive sales? no? OK then, stop complaining.

Whatever the reason, it is a godsend for those of us who do have access period. plus, 60-70% of the people who work there probably have no idea about the irep program, nobody at staples did...or bestbuy who I talked too...or tiger direct store! then on-top of that maybe half have the proper access to get the chips for the lowest price intel is offering! they are double teasing most everyone.

But those who know, who can this time of year is the time the intel angels descend from the heavens and let us upgrade for a price that does not murder the bank from the horrid commission based retail chains that are listed, Im pretty sure everybody would cry if they saw my W4 from last year from tigerdirect....and I can assure you its not very pretty
