Acer expands its Windows 8 - Upgrade refund promotion

Acer believes that its customers should have access to, and benefit from, the latest technology, which is why Acer has been an active partner in promoting the official Microsoft Windows 8 Upgrade program. In addition to this program, in June, Acer introduced a unique promotion, offering to refund the cost of the official online Microsoft Windows 8 Upgrade, on all Acer Ultrabook purchased between 2nd June 2012 and 31st January 2013.

Acer is pleased to announce that this offer has been expanded to include selected Notebooks and Desktops. Specifically, the promotion will now include Acer Aspire Notebooks, Acer Aspire Desktops originally supplied with Windows 7 Home Basic, Home Premium, Professional or Ultimate.  It will also include Acer TravelMate Notebooks and Veriton Desktops that were originally supplied with Windows 7 Home Basic or Windows 7 Home Premium. This part of the promotion is valid for eligible products purchased between 1st October 2012 and 31st January 2013.

Acer has set up a dedicated webpage to guide customers through the promotion (acer.com/windows8upgrade). The promotion offers to refund the customer for the cost of the official Microsoft Online Upgrade, so once customers have completed the online Microsoft Upgrade, they should visit acer.com/windows8upgrade and follow the link to the claim page. Here the customer will be asked to provide information to confirm they have completed the Microsoft Upgrade Program and to identify themselves and their product. Once this has been verified and the customer has met the requirements, Acer will then refund the customer for the online cost of the Microsoft Upgrade Process.

Full terms and conditions are available at acer.com/windows8upgrade.
