Yes, Biden said something similar, or his people did. Biden himself probably didn't know what was happening.

It was likely that you just got the previous day's DRP late. I just got my day 5 login bonus now.
I was going to announce the DRP before legolas, I got day one before most people knew about it here...not likely. And since in America its ALL DRP and my steering wheel mission, i've been really paying attention.

AWA probably just screwed the time up between regions on the day 2 or day 3 reward and threw me off track.

EDIT:

I actually cheated on AWA and swapped Artifact's after getting all my 'on-site' time last night to another twitch artifact for 2 extra measly ARP mid-watch to push myself over the next tier :LOL:

DRP is kind of trash for me. Dell/Alienware is overpriced to begin with, and I can only use it up to a certain amount off. So it ends up turning a ridiculously overpriced item into a regular overpriced item. Also, it expires. So it's not worth saving.

It might be vaguely useful if I was going to buy something anyway, but I doubt I'd ever buy from Dell. It's also not possible to opt out of, so all it does is make me lose ARP.

In US/CA it's the equivalent of money, and you can keep adding more and the expiry can be reset. If I had my choice, I'd just opt out, since I rarely buy anything anyway. Instead, I'm in the worst situation, where I'm forced to get DRP, but have no use for it.

First off the timer doesn't reset...it shows you when the first amount you added will expire and you lose it period.

If theres a limit to how much I can spend then i'm gonna be pretty pissed off pretty soon since I was intending to cover most lf the steering wheel with it.

I'm actually not buying dell, i'm buying Logitech from their site, obviously i've had my issues with dell hardware...most of my controllers and such (including my mouse--always) are logitech 🤷‍♂️

Now i'm tempted to go put it in the cart and see if there is a limit since I already have over $100 on site.

Canadians on site claimed that the timer is extended when you add more, although I have not personally verified this. Supposedly Canadians also have to solve a math puzzle over the phone, or at least that was in the T&C on the recent artifact raffle.

No, pretty sure in the US, there is no limit, so you can fund 100% of the purchase with DRP. I recently made a 100% purchase with reward points from Lenovo. Dell only lets me pay a fraction of the price with DRP.

The only limit (as I posted above) is that the product has to be over $100 to use points at all...but orher than that--its verified there is no limit.

Its also verified the steering wheel is way more expensove than I remember, I must have picked the pricey of the two because I thought it was $299.99 but its more like $370 after tax :LOL: ouch.

I have enough ARP for another $30 so that leaves me at about half price...but god damn that thing is expensive.

Heres hoping for another 2 weeks of gamer days :ROFLMAO:

Notice how it shows the Calender and $110 instead of $120 below the expiration date? You can view when points expire on the calender. Those Canadians are retarded :LOL:

I also have 2FA enabled there with a text message involved ..so that might be true.

I had to give them legit details to use the points and buy things...might as well secure the accoint.

Right now the steering wheel is $50 off everywhere EXCEPT dell of course, including Logitech :ROFLMAO: 🙄

I just did some deeper research on sim racing (particularly iRacing) and it seems thats an entry level wheel :ROFLMAO: these people are talking $1,000+ setups and configurations. I'm so deep under water even trying this with my broke ass haha.

Got one thing to say...

Seems switching from the free weekend to the real game doesn't work for cheesing the hour...hope I still have time to complete the quest since my daily quests end in about an hour usually.

Speaking of that, I got a foil card from warframe that sold for like half a buck too lol 🤷‍♂️

EDIT:

Thanks bro (y)

Didn't have time to swap over to my steam artifact so I didnt't miss it since I just swapped back...but better than no ARP at all.

I never even looked at what to do with Dell Rewards from AWA, how does this work exactly ? Create an account at Dell with the email address that received the points from AWA ?
Long and short of it, yep. Just like any account link, you'll see your points on the site if its linked correctly.

Theres only so much there i'd really want personally (especially over the $100 minimal) but with how much they've given away lately, i'd find a reason to use them.

After my racing setup I won't be very interested and i'm getting that now even if i'm forced to pay outright for the rest on a CC...then I'll want the shifter, maybe i'll pair it with a spare mouse to make it so I can use DRP if I end up with enough to bother but thats only like $60 not the insane $350+tax lol.

After that i'll prolly stick to the vault and artifacts etc etc like the rest of the crowd.
