I made PM for the first time around October and got my packet by mid-November which included tags and six PMUs. Doesn't really matter when you actually get the 2008 PMUs whether it is mid-November or mid-February. The PMU's are good from the end of Feb 2008 through Feb 2009. In checking in for my flight to AMS on Jan 26, in addition to other issues, when I handed over my PMUs (FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER), I was told that I couldn't use them yet. So I burned 50K miles. Not the end of the world.
