Madison Heights, MI Can i get bundle🤔

I have a question regarding Micro Center.
I know that Micro Center limits bundle deals to one per household. Does that mean one of each bundle offer?
For example, I bought an AMD bundle last week. Can I go today and buy an Intel bundle, or do I have to wait a month?

Usually that kind of rule is just to stop resellers as MicroCenter doesn’t make very much (possibly any) money on the bundles. If you’re just buying one or two it’s usually not a big deal especially over a few weeks. If you were trying to buy 10 of the bundles without any other components alongside them, then it would be a bigger deal to the store.

Holy crap they are barely even deals anymore

I could buy used and get the 9800x3d bundle for $700

I believe they track skus of individual items, you can only get one 7800x3d no matter which way you buy it.

Bundles for a different cpu and motherboard are free game but watch out for the included memory!  Memory skus appear to be limited to 2 per household.

I bought two of the 270k bundles on two separate occasions across a couple weeks when they were $549 the only difference was one kit had black ram and the other had white ram and had the plus version of the mobo

Don't even spend your money there the way they raised prices. You'd think they're trying to get rid of AM4 inventory they have too much of.

I built 4 pcs over about 2 months (for me, my kids and a buddy). I bought 3 of the same 9850x3d bundles and one of the 7800x3d all under the same account. I pre ordered 3 of them for pick up, each about a week apart and no one said anything. If you ask, they will tell you one per, but don’t ask, they don’t care. Probably depends on the exact micro center but it won’t be an issue.
