DAMN YOU NEWEGG [View all]

I bought a GPU that was a bit too inferior for what I thought it could run.

So I want to return it... The Premiere account has a feature where they waive the restocking fee and return shipping fee, WONDERFUL. So I signed up for the free trial. I get the promo code to do the free trial. The code doesn't work.

Now I'm on hold for an hour on the phone, just so I can find out if they can fix it on their end. WATCH, they won't believe me, and won't help me.

FREAKING OUT. Damn you newegg, damn you black friday sales, damn you holidays!!!!
