Timely communication

Apparently IEEE offered some incentive last year for renewing the membership before year end which I had completely forgot about, or not even noticed when I renewed my membership. This morning I received a friendly invitation to claim my free eBook:
"Because you renewed your IEEE membership by Dec. 31, 2006, you are eligible to download an IEEE-USA eBook at no cost!"

Nothing terribly wrong with this, although I wonder why it takes an engineering organization 178 days to send an e-mail with a download link.
