Same here. If I recall correctly though, Google said we'd get the codes approx 4 weeks from when our phones shipped. That's about Nov 20.
Not sure why Verizon customers get it first, but maybe Verizon bought the ones for their units and have them so they are managing their own logistics. Optics-wise (pun), it doesn't look great that Google's direct customers have to wait.
Does seem odd.....after I actually got the phone, on the 20th, I electronically did the rebate info right away. It was approved in a week or so, but the email with tracking, I just got. Tracking info shows no information yet however.
I would've thought the Google peeps would've been first though, if anything.

I bought mine from Google as well, and still no email regarding the Daydream VR. I called Google about it, and they assured me that the email is coming soon. I was put on hold while it was researched on the delay. The person I spoke with also had a Pixel and the Daydream already, but he got his phone from Verizon. He got his from Verizon because he had one of the exploding Samsung phones purchased from them, so it was a trade in. He said Verizon, Best Buy, and Google were all running the promo differently, and that Verizon was apparently just ahead of the game on getting the promo emails out. He said they were coming soon, but didn't know how soon.
I pre ordered two phones from Google. One black phone and one silver phone. The black phone got delivered a couple of weeks ago and I received the first email with a Daydream code yesterday. The silver phone is being delivered today. So, hopefully I will get the second code in the next few weeks.
My guess is that they won't send it to you until after the return period for that Pixel expires.
Does anyone know of a list of all the Daydream VR apps that are currently out? I've seen a few "best of" lists, but was hoping to find a place that is regularly (automatically?) updated to show the latest apps that are actually available. And I don't mean this since Google is commingling apps that are out now and apps that are "coming soon."
My View arrives tomorrow, so maybe when VR is enabled and I open the Play Store it will show all apps there? Doesn't seem to be a way to filter the Play Store to only show Daydream VR apps right now.
Seems like there are a lot of apps/games coming out in the next few weeks, so just want to figure out how to stay on top of new releases.
UPDATE: the Daydream app does seem to have a list of apps/games in the "Explore" mode, but still doesn't appear to be a comprehensive list and doesn't indicate release dates.
