Dear phreakwarz77, I can confirm that your request is processing and that your backplate will be shipped through the US postal service once processed. The tracking information will be available on the promotion page once available. http://www.evga.com/articles/00876/EVGAs-Got-Your-Back/ phreakwarz77 I got approved just hours after registering. It says the item will ship by mid November. ITS MID November here in Texas and have no notice of shipment. Are all these backplates shipped via UPS or others like US mail.

Yeah, my message too has changed from "will ship in Mid-November" to "check back soon for tracking info." This has progressed faster than expected - WTG EVGA!

lol, that's not assuring anything...Most of us already have Tracking # for Days and some for Weeks ...The problem with USPS, there's No Tracking Information Updates at all You just get the same lame message on their Website : Example Product & Tracking Information Postal Product : First-Class Package Service Features : USPS Tracking Date and Time : November 10, 2014 , 1:05 pm Status of Item : Shipping Label Created Location : BREA, CA 92821 A shipping label has been prepared for your item at 1:05 pm on November 10, 2014 in BREA, CA 92821. That's it............What's the point having a Tracking # if you can't Track the Package!? even after a WEEK

That's strange, mine shipped USPS on a Friday, and I was able to track it and see the anticipated delivery was on Monday, and it came. Almost sounds like in your case the shipping label was created , but not yet left the facility.

Woohoo! The status has been updated to "Your backplate has been shipped.". There is no USPS track info for Brazil though and I haven't received any status update by e-mail yet.

My EU status has changed to this, Your request was approved. The free backplate will ship to you approximately mid-November. I bought the GPU without knowing about the free backplate promotion, therefore one must be content.

I don't mind waiting... The backplate is just a bonus. I'm having so much fun with my new GTX 970 and temps are low. This card is so much quieter than my old EVGA GTX 570HD 2560MB too so, I'm a happy camper. The only game so far that made the video card sweat like a pig and reach 74 degrees Celcius was Crysis 3. Most games stay between 67 and 71 degrees Celcius temp.

Count me among the waiting, too. Received the ship notification on 11/15. Nothing delivered, yet. and the tracking link now leads to an "EVGA Under Construction -- Down For Maintenance" page. USPS has no record of the tracking number, either. I've been waiting to install my new 970 FTW until the back plate arrives. My games are getting impatient.

booo.. I got my card a couple days after this ended. :p At first I thought it was just the exhaust plate, but now I see it was to cover the bare side of the board. Me wants! Are there 3rd party plates?

I just ordered an EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SC ACX 2.0 and i just read about this backplate. I know im a bit late to get one for free but is it possible to buy one somewhere or was it only produced for the free give away? At least ill have the 5year warranty and free Assassins Creed Unity :) //Niklas from Sweden

Ordered my backplate and it was being delivered by USPS. They say it was delivered this past thurs but i never got it. This is whyi hate when orders are fulfilled by USPS. Now i am out a backplate. Definitely a bit disappointed. Since this was free, is there anyway to report this? ***Update Even though the tracking site says it was dropped at my front door, in actuality it wasn't. After a brief neighborhood hunt I located my package.

Man, EVGA needs to torque test the screws before they package them. Someone must have screwed on that corner screw with the nut with a freaking impact gun, I could not get it off for the life of me with a pair of steel forceps, needle nose pliers and my t-bone screwdriver,which allows me to get more torque than a normal screwdriver. I damn near stripped the inner thread and finally just decided to leave the thing in, kind of annoying though. Hopefully it doesn't matter...

Same situation here Full_Clip. #EU It's still showing shipping will be mid november. Guess the only valid option is to wait :)

Still haven't received any of my 4 backplates. I sincerely doubt that they will ship mid-november. Just another marketing gimmick.

I request the backplate on 10/22/2014. The status: "Your request was approved. The free backplate will ship to you approximately mid-November."

My backplate request was approved on the 5th November and was due to ship approx. mid November. Heard nothing more and now the EU promotion page with my order status details just says promotion has closed. What's going on? I'm in the UK, has anyone in UK received theirs?

Yep, same here. I'm slightly confused too. Maybe someone from EVGA could comment on this, please.
