So you don't think it would be such a bad idea to go ahead and buy a code off ebay and try to work my magic with a csr?

Now that I realized I could just go and look at the amazon T&C:

You must have a Kindle with Special Offers device registered to the same account as the qualifying purchase.

So you are wrong then I guess?

Thing is, they don't check so no, I'm not wrong. You're taking a risk by buying the code but if you get a nice rep (by nice I mean one that will allow for the code to be used on a mac) and a valid code, it won't matter if a kindle is attached or not.
 
Just got another email from Amazon ... it'll be delivered by 15th now (Yippeee.....)

Surprised though as this morning i got there mail stating the item 11/128/4GB was backordered.

Ordered last Sunday :D:D:D

I ordered mine on Monday (apparently 1 day before they officially pulled the Air from the promo) and it is supposed to arrive next week, as well.

Now if they can just do the same for the MC965LL/A!!!
 
That would be daring. But it sounds like it can be done.

EDIT: I successfully did this. Be patient, I talked to 4 CSRs.

SO THRILLED!

Wait, so can I clarify that you purchased your code off of ebay and none of the 4 CSRs commented on the fact that you don't have a kindle associated with your account?

Again, they don't check, a buddy of mine just bought two MBs with codes from ebay.
 
Ordered 13/256 on Saturday at roughly 2pm Pacific, just got my order updated to an Aug 16th delivery estimate.
 
My 13" 4gb/128gb has changed from Not Yet Shipped to Shipping Soon. (Originally, it was the aug 31-sept 16) Also, the only available actions are Cancellation. Even though the est shipping date hasn't changed, this looks like somethings happening.

(Ordered Sat 8/6)

I ordered my MC965LL/A at 9:45a Friday 8/5. No update for me :(

YES sir. Bought a code on ebay. Applied it to my account saturday. Ordered the 11/2/64 on sunday. I contacted amazon when I found the 11/4/128 was shipping soon (I needed it by august 17th, will get the 15th!), and eventually was able to convince them that I wanted the 11/4/128 changed for the 11/2/64. So the associate cancelled the first one and manually applied the promotion to my account, which I then used to order the 11/4/128. Pumped, and ready to get it on Tuesday!

Same here. I'm thinking it might have something to do with what shipping speed you chose and if you're a Prime member or not....:confused:

I am not a Prime member, and chose the free shipping. I ordered on 8/5 and still see "Not Yet Shipped" with an estimated delivery date of September 1 - 21.
 
I should add that I ordered mine on Friday, 8/5, at around noon. At this discount, I'm not gonna worry about the SSD and display model. I just hope that there are no flaws: I'm unclear as to whether if I returned a defective machine to Amazon that they would replace it at the same price. I suppose that Apple would most likely take care of any problems. Anyway, good luck to everyone! I hope that you get a perfect MBA soon.

Edit: I ordered with one day Prime shipping.

I am not sure if it has to do with Prime or not. I ordered mine on Friday 8/5 and with Prime and my MC965LL/A shows Not Yet Shipped. I even ordered next day shipping for it. My estimated delivery is Aug 30th - Sept 15th

Same deal here. Ordered the 13" base model Friday morning, no shipping updates posted yet. Hmmm
 
Well, my 13" 4gb/128gb is back to Not Yet Shipped. Also, instead of having only 1 available action, I have the 4 back. So, no change.:(
