Don't worry about it, you are definitely one of the 40, as I mentioned before, you get varying degrees of knowledge and skills when you cal the 800 number. Nissan cut the system down once the transaction ID number hit 10000040. So if they took your money, you are good.
There seems to be a lot of confusion out there. Again, I hope you're right, but I really have my doubts.
My confirmation email said "Reserved on : 27-Aug-2011 11:47", which is bizarre because that doesn't make sense in any time zone that I can think of. They definitely have charged my credit card, so supposedly I'm one of the first 40. But...
I called the Ohio call centre today to request the assessment waiver. At the end I asked about the process, basically whether it was first-come first-served or if there were other criteria. I was told I was #116, and the email invitation should probably go out in October.
So, do you think that was totally pulled out of thin air, or what?

They only opened the RAQ process to certain areas thus far. For example, if you are in eastern Ontario or Quebec, yours is most likely open because 'the Tour' has gone through....if you are in the GTA/west, not so much.
I believe the thought process behind this was to not open orders until the Tour got underway and through the east. If you are in Ontario (other than Ottawa area), the tour opens on Tuesday...so your up this week. Sit tight.
It's funny to refer to everything west of Toronto as "GTA/west".
Here in the extreme western end of the greater Toronto area (Victoria, BC), the dealer already has a car. I've driven it. So, I'm not sure what the point of waiting for the Tour would be - the car is already here!
