I got my iShuffle today! Am I the first?!

As soon as I got my card a few weeks ago, I made a purchase at Staples (ink cartridge $15) then called Charles Schwabb to inquire if my purchase qualifies. I was told, yes it qualified, and she checked if my card was under the iPod promo then told me I should receive the iShuffle 8-10 weeks. It didn't take that long!

Thank you GTFan! Thank you anandtech!
 
I got my card and made a purchase on the 18th of this month. I guess that put's me at the 11th of Nov. if the trend continues.
 
Got the ipod today (10/27) Thanks for letting us know of such a great deal! (so nice I finally had to sign up on the forums to thank you) 🙂 Took approx. three weeks from initial charge.
 
I applied for the card a day after this thread started. Can't remember when I received the card -- maybe a week or less. Following day, I made the purchase at Staples. So couldn't have been 3 weeks.

A colleague at work applied for the card a day after I did. He got his iPod at the same day I did (yesterday).

Gee, thanks for the useless thread crap. Now go be a nice boy and play with the rest of your friends.

Did you read the OP? That's very common, and you'll probably get the card within 7-10 days anyway if you have decent credit. Make a purchase and then 3-4 weeks later the goody shows up. Very easy deal.

 
I just got my Shuffle yesterday 🙂 Looks like it was about 3 weeks from when I first purchased something with the card, so anyone still waiting, keep your eyes out!

I did. Just complaining anyway. I have great credit accoding to the finance guy at the car dealer a few months ago😉
 
I was wondering what UPS was trying to deliver yesterday and today while I wasn't home. It must be my iPod. The slip says its from MBNA. Can anyone confirm that MBNA sent the iPod?
 
Yep,

It's from Charles Scwab --MBNA
Newark DE

So that's your IPod...

I must admit it took me some time to understand how this works with Itunes. I have two other MP3 players I just copy and paste what I want on them. Here Itunes does a whole group at once. I guess I never took the time to understand how these things can really work.

Got my ipod on the 11th. Exactly three weeks from my first purchase. Pretty cool, this is the first MP3 player other than the one I bought for my wife, that I've owned.
 
one question, when i plug it into my pc, the orange light just blinks. is it supposed to blink orange? i thought it'd be a constant orange. also, does it ever go to green? mine hasn't after about 4 hours...
