I had gone back to the page and I could get the offer; my best guess is that the age of the device is an issue. Originally I had selected an older device to trade in and got a "you'll get your discount once we get the device and evaluate it"; once I tried a more recent device, it was willing to give me the gc and discount immediately. Which was better for my purposes anyway, since the gc amount was so much more and I also, as you said, have until some time in January to send in the old tablet.
So, glad enough to be getting a newer HD 8, as my only real beef with Fires is that they get slower over time. And I'm still taking the lesson for the future, that if I want to trade in a dinosaur I should get the process going a couple of weeks before a major sale.
