"Due to high demand, American Express is no longer offering the Stand-Alone USB Reader or CompaqTM Reader Keyboard. If you are still interested in obtaining a Smart Card Reader free of charge, the Stand-Alone Serial Reader(s) are still available (while supplies last)."
 
received my reader today in the mail. It has 2 connections, keyboard passthrough and serial. Have yet to test it with anything.
 
Got my serial reader today, 2day UPS. Not sure what to use it for yet; it's not standard ISO format as far as I can tell.
 
I got my card reader. Now I need to find some place to let it collect dust because I have no use for it.
 
Got my keyboard yesterday. It's a very nice, quality unit that replaces a cheap one I got for free about seven years ago. I'm a Blue cardholder, so maybe they're cross-referencing requests for the keyboard with account holders...
 
I'm not a BLUE user and I got my keyboard + reader.

Flame me all you want but I really thought it wasn't going to come until it both came today via 2nd day Air UPS. =)

keyboard + reader
 
Got mine via 2nd day mail from Amex... but they sent me the crappy serial port one.... no more keyboard ones left to order I guess. 🙁
