They do the plaques in waves, so every quarter they go out. If nothing appears on your dashboard tips after a couple of months you'll need to send the email to the prize claim page people, in my case they said my code went out a month ago but i never received in on dashboard, but once i emailed them with my channel info they emailed me the code straight and i was able to redeem it. Grats btw, it feels really good to get the thing in your hands (mine hangs right by my fridge).
