the lady was completely uninformed. She told me to contact apple to see when they were going to ship to amazon, and then give them a call back so they'll know!And that's all I get for spending 50 minutes with them... most of it on hold.
I don't actually think that anyone at Amazon telephone or chat support would know when they will be getting more shipments.
I finally had success this morning after 5 tries last night. It came down to me basically asking "are you gonna fix this on not? stop wasting my time." He was giving me the script until I asked him to decide, then he went away for a minute, came back and said OK. He wouldn't price match to last night when the 13" 256GB was $50 less, bummer.
I really don't need 256GB but I'll take it for the price of the 128GB anywhere else. If anyone wants to trade their 128 when these things finally ship pm me.

Okay guys, what's the best ~$20 tight fit sleeve for MacBook air 13"?
I use this one and like it a lot: http://www.myincipio.com/MacBook-Ai...o-MacBook-Air-13in-ORION-Slim-Sleeve-Case.asp
Thanks! That looks great! I'll just get a cloth to protect the top of the computer.
I spent about 30-40 minutes on Amazon live chat this morning trying to get the promo code applied to the new 11" 128/4 Macbook Air.
I only spoke to 1 CSR. The following things happened during our discussion.
I'm not sure if I was fortunate or if I just asked the appropriate questions. Either way I thought some of you might like to know my story.
To make it all a lot better, I bought a Time Capsule (1 to 2 months delivery time frame) with my MBA (1 month delivery time frame). I contacted Amazon via Live Chat a few hours after my purchase and requested that the items be separated from one another and made into 2 orders. The CSR separated the items and upgraded my shipping, for free! My Macbook Air now is schedule to arrive next week instead of September 15th!
Good luck!
I only spoke to 1 CSR. The following things happened during our discussion.
1. She looked into everything (took about 5 minutes). She found the model number I wanted and she pulled up the promo code that was sent to me.
2. She sent me a link for the "approved" computers (which didn't have the MBA) and told me to select a computer from the list. I clicked the link and told her that the computer I wanted wasn't on the list. She told me again to select a computer from the list.
3. I began asking her if the list was modified from this weekend when I received the code. I had to ask her 2 or 3 times if the list of approved computers was revised from the time I received the code on Sunday. She dodged the question a couple of times and told me to select a computer from the list.
4. I told her it wasn't right that Amazon revised the list of approved computers AFTER sending me a link of approved computers containing the Macbook Air I wished to purchase. I told her all I wanted to do was spend $1,000 on a computer according to the deal that Amazon sent me.
5. She paused for a couple of minutes and replied that Amazon is allowed to revise promotions whenever they wished, but she would apply the 20% discount manually!
6. I bought the computer and sent her the Order Number. Within minutes, the 20% discount was applied.

1 Code that was messed up when MBA was available + 2 Days of amazon run around to fix my code + 11 Online Reps + 3 Kindle Support Reps + 2 Marketing Reps + 50 Minutes of Kindle Rep phone time = A now working code, but a useless one now there are no macbook airs available. This is what "Subject to change" can do for you.
ordered 8/6, rec'd MBA 11/4/128 today! got a 10% gold box discount plus the 20%..samsung ssd+display......love amazon!
had a kernal panic on my 2007 black MB - did a back up on TM that morning and transferred my pics to my iMac a few days before, phew!

You can get the discount still, you're just going to have to do another run around with chat reps.
You have to be pushy. Show them links to all the people here and on slick deals who have successfully done this.
What did you say to them?
Edit: I gota take a break and get something to eat, than get back right at it while watching Top Gear.. UK version of course.
Hah, I was on the 8/6 ordering crew, for the base 13 MBA, and was initially 8/31-9/16, and my status updated!! To change the range to 9/21.
Cruel Amazon. Really cruel.

Interesting. I ordered the base 13 on the morning of Aug 6th (11am) but my estimate has always been 8/30-9/19. No change here.
For Whomever It May Interest
I ordered my 13"/i5/256GB 2011 MBA on Sunday around 3pm in the afternoon. I received an email at 4:18pm today that my shipping estimate had been changed from 8/31-9/16 to August 16th.
So I'm excited! And hopefully this helps anyone without an update to place when they might see their MBA.

This makes me
Ordered a base 13" the day after you. Don't have any updates yet though from the Orignal Aug 30-Sept 16.
Thanks for the update. I ordered mine on Monday afternoon so hopefully i'm not too far behind!
Haven't posted in a while, but I got in on this as well and ordered today. I called about three people and that did not work. Second chat was great. I bought my 4/128/11 MBA and the discount was applied after purchase. It's arriving tomorrow with $3.99 overnight
It's day 5 with my new MBA from Amazon at the screaming low price.
I'm still amazed that I got this computer for 20% off, and received it the next day after I placed the order. Once again, Amazon comes through.
What a great company to do business with.
