When I ORDERED my Mac last August, the estimated ship date was October 11. I found this unfair that I did not receive the upgrade as well, though I didn't exactly qualify. However, I went to the site to see if I qualified for an upgrade, and it said I did! I placed my order and I guess I'll see if it all works out in 9 days, 19 hours, and 20 minutes!
I don't think it will work, if you read the terms carefully... you will see that it says you need to provide them with a copy of the sales receipt showing the Oct 1, 2007 to present date bought.
