Is anyone still waiting on the free Borders gift card?

Do you remember the Sony Reader pricing snafu a couple weeks back?(Borders had intended to price the PRS-600 at $199, and they actually priced it at $100.) All the sales were cancelled (of course), and Borders promised a $25 concilation gift card. I don't have mine yet.

Is anyone else still waiting?

I got mine, but it was electronic (just a number) rather than a card, I used it to buy a PRS600 (that they were/are selling at $199) so I only paid $174 for it.

I was happy with that ...just not happy with the screen on the PRS600 ..:-(

I did receive mine. It was a card and not just a number.

I think that all Non-US buyers were supposed to receive an electronic card and those went out pretty quickly.

I'm US and I got a plastic card in the mail a couple of weeks ago.

I contacted Borders, and they promised to send me another card.
