Mine was amidst the few paper items in the N800 package I got from TigerDirect (fully sealed). Easy to miss as it's basically a business card sized piece of card stock. Colourful Skype logo on one side, promo code on the back.
I haven't used mine yet, but will before a month long trip to Asia later this year (provided it doesn't expire, I'll have to check the card again, but I don't remember seeing an expiration date).

Good thing I read this! I was so excited to get my n800 I forgot about the Skype offer. It was still in the bottom of the package.

Origination point is always IP, which is location agnostic.

Skype's offer is essentially the old Skype North American Unlimited plan, but for 3 months. I've used this plan to call home/friends in Canada/US from all over the world.

Sorry about the misinfo.
