Unless I missed somewhere in my searches. I just learned today that Upgrade for Life program was not in fact, for life...
I asked of sales today and was informed that both the 40% reduction card program (which I knew finished in 2021) and the 25% for life program are closed.
If anyone had heard otherwise please comment below.

If anyone had heard otherwise please comment below. Both are "closed"... But for UFL, if you made a qualifying purchase before the program officially ended, you are still entitled to the benefit and will be for Emotiva's life (or yours... whichever ends first). |

It's an old thread and sometimes newer employees just don't know...  |

Just a reminder, though, that the UFL discount only applies to processors at full retail price. The current G3 processors are already heavily discounted... So the UFL discount may not apply in this case. |

So the UFL discount may not apply in this case. Where do you see heavily discounted prices on the G3's, the XMC-2 still shows $2499, I remember looking at it in 2023 and was calculating what it woul;d be for me to buy one with my UFL, it was $2499 at that time as well, gets one $624.75 USD off Chad |

The original prices were as follows... XMC-2: $2,999 USD RMC-1L: $3,999 USD RMC-1: $4,999 USD |

It seems the RMC-1 has already been discounted the same amount as UFL would offer, but the other two have a smaller discount. Possibly Emotiva would honor UFL against the original final retail prices, which would save a little more on the XMC-2 and RMC-1L? |

I do vaguely recall that and which might have been the price right before the current price reduction. And yes, I do think that it's worth inquiring about the "UFL pricing". It never hurts to ask... especially if the UFL pricing were to be even just a little bit lower. |

Not much point in UFL if you can just wait for EOL discount hahaha, I mean I'm in Canada so add 35% in exchange rate alone, even the internet direct stuff is no longer affordable, I mean by the time I pay the exchange and taxes on a XMC-2 I could buy a used car, I don't remember the XMC-2 being $2999 or $3199, that's insanity to even think that, the XMC-2 would be over $5000 to me up here  |

I would likely use a receiver from Denon, Yamaha, Marantz, Onkyo, etc connected to amp(s). I'm thankful for the upgrade path that is getting more expensive with time. Just my .02. |
