What is an AR?

Advanced Replacement.

Both HP & Dell offer the service. Dell words It as Advanced Exchange, which Is basically the same thing.

Surely doing EB on same address will eventually get me banned?

Of course It will.

The same also applies to other methods when you SE carelessly without forethought.

AR is like for WD? when you receive the new item first and then have 30 days to send yours?
