As an FYI, a $200 gift card isn't the same as $200 off. You aren't spending any less to get the graphics card - you're just ALSO getting a $200 gift card, which you can't use in the same purchase. You may not even want anything else on Newegg right then and there (or for a long time, especially if you're not doing other upgrades).

Beware of this kind of fuzzy math - it's how stores want you to think, but is a trap.

They also count on a certain number of users not ever redeeming it, or redeeming it completely.

The pricing on these cards is absolutely absurd.

EXACTLY! That's called gift card breakage. It's a line item on the P&L of a lot of companies.
