I called today, and the rep told me that all reader orders should be shipped by Sept 10. Tonight, I got home to find an e-mail indicating that mine shipped today (ordered August 17th, card ordered around a week before that). So now I expect it to arrive some time next week, but I wouldn't mind if it showed up Friday!
While mine was back-ordered, I noticed that I could add another one to my cart at the same promotional price if I had another 50 points to play with. I created a wish list (guess what was in it?!?), which gave me an additional 50 points, and would have allowed me to place another order. But then I decided that I didn't want to risk jeopardizing the order I had in.
Now, it's offering me a promotional price of 16,000 points ($160 if I buy it with dollars), which would still be a good deal. But I'm not (yet) that desperate.
