UPDATE:
just got off the phone with my regional distribution center and an online representative.
the lady at the distribution center told me that my state's BB warehouse just got in a shipment of the cards on the 17th, and incoming shipments dont show up in the computer until the 18th, and that she though that there wasnt any reason she could think of that my card wouldnt ship within the next few days - a week. She then told me to call the 800 number and ask BB.com why it still showed as a backorder on my order, so i did, and the man told me that the shipment just came in, and that theyve been updating their systems and that a day or two of a delay is exected, but to keep checking for my shipping information today, tomorrow, the next few days. Here's Hoping...
Anyways, just thought I'd update all of you who have held onto your orders. The guy told me that I was at least in the front half of the list, despite a large number of orders being placed on the card. So if i ordered on the 21st, im sure all of you ordering before me will get your cards / shipping information in the next few days. I expect that if my state warehouse got a shipment, most, if not all, of yours got one too. hopefully this information helps you guys
Sometimes it pays to pester a little bit here and there. I'm sure BB.com's 800 number representatives have blacklisted me, but that woman at the center was incredibly nice and understanding. She actually seemed like she wanted to help me. Crazy...
Anyways, Good luck. Hopefully all of this is the case, and that guy wasnt just sh*tting me.
