Well, you posted your inquiry a bit early. Many were mailed out last week, to arrive this week. A couple of friends in the Bay Area got theirs this last Saturday, in the form of debit cards. Many others still haven't received theirs. You just have to be patient.

We received it a few days ago in the form of one plastic card for us both- I assume it's a $1200 balance since we earn under 70k a yr

The ENVELOPE LOOKS LIKE JUNK MAIL SO BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOSS IT

I can't even keep track of how many rounds there have been.
We got direct deposit (or maybe a check) last spring.
A couple months ago we got a debit card.
Two weeks ago we got a letter saying another check or card would arrive within 7 days. (It hasn't.) But the stimulus bill hasn't been passed yet, so I don't know what this one is even for, or if it's legitimate. It's addressed to both of us and says we're getting $1200.

Was this letter actually Notice-1444B from the IRS ? If so, it is a confirmation of the 2nd (and last ) payment you received. We just now got our letter after getting DD in January !! Shows how behind the IRS & USPS is.

Yes.
Thanks. At first I thought maybe that's what it was - a late-arriving letter - but the date on the letter threw me. You're probably right. When the card itself arrived sans letter we were suspicious and held onto it for a while until other friends/neighbors said they'd also received them.

We got a paper check the first time. It was $7 but we did not cash it. Since we qualified for $7 the first time, it seems we should get a check for $3.50 to help us stimulate the economy, but it never came. : (
