Wow... Newegg Financing... There is something scary in this.
Soon we will start to see Newegg retail shops popping up.

im gonna use it to buy me a pair of 6800 ultra for SLI. nothing like getting charged an insane amount of interest while 2 weeks later realizing that a single 7800 GTX will run circles around them.

You could start working as a male escort to pay for those 6800 Ultras, start a blog and never update it as well.

But that's only if you exceed the 90 day pay period correct? For example if you purchase something worth $900 today and make say 3 payment installations of $300 each every 30 days, you wouldn't be charged anything extra and will be paying exactly $900 right? Or is that 17.99% added regardless of how promptly you pay in full? I've always felt the way CC companies word these things very deceitful.

That's the way I read it.

Oh, man, Newegg did NOT need to do this to me. SOOooo.....TEMPTING.....

(No, seriously though - it MIGHT be a good thing. The only way I can *fathom* something stopping me from upgrading every month is if I was still paying off my LAST upgrades...)

Its a standard 'bend me over and rape me' retailer revolving credit card account made available by the professional rapists MBNA, with a 25 day grace period at 18%...that is if you don't miss a payment, then it will probably be 25-30% APR.

(except for the initial purchase, which is a one-time 90 day grace period)

If that sounds attractive, I hope you have some quality jelly handy. :p
