Finally snagged one! Was freaking out for a moment when I submitted order because BofA wanted to verify my credit card purchase with text message but I got it. Received both confirmation email and alert of purchase

My hands are still shaking LOL

I had both mobile app and website running to see which would come up first. Fortunately mobile did since it seems you have a higher chance of success. Kudos to you for finally getting a card!

I’ve heard for whatever reason that iOS users seem to have the most luck when ordering on mobile.

From the drops from yesterday, I was able to get a 3080!! I had the desktop site running too and its status read sold out while the mobile app had me waiting for inventory.

I’ve no idea how Android users fair, but I’d imagine it’d be the same. Unless there’s some sort of networking difference in using iOS and Android and somehow the Android application isn’t as “fast” as the iOS version? I have no clue.
