Found out about the EA "help" just the other day from some friends on xbox live, and after waiting my obligatory "time out" before being allowed to post on these forums, as the EA Tech insist that I post in them, here I am.
Award winning support...

you:
But the packs never are added immediately after completion, they are always added after completion and after the operation is "expired"
Rahul:
I am sorry but as the operation is over now, we can not add those packs.
Rahul:
In that case, you should post your issue on our official game forums so that our developers can help you with it.
you:
So, if I participate in the next op, the packs should be added instantly?
you:
That's what you're saying, right?
you:
That the packs are only added while the operation is going on
Rahul:
Yes, you are correct.
Rahul:
However, if you do not get them somehow, you can contact us.
Rahul:
But ensure that you contact us before expiration of the event so that we can manually add the packs for you.
you:
So, the next op, "Operation MASTIFF" from "June 8-10", upon participation and completion, I will get the packs in that time period?
you:
And if not, to contact you?
Rahul:
Progress tracking and Commendation Packs unlocks are only possible if you have data tracking enabled.
you:
Right, I know this
Rahul:
Operation Mastiff begins at 6pm PST Friday June 8 and ends at 4am PST Monday June 11 and packs wil be distributed Tuesday Evening if the mission is successful.
you:
Ok, well... Tuesday Evening is June 12. That is AFTER the op has EXPIRED
Rahul:
For detailed information regarding this event see the link below-

you:
So you're saying I can have the joy of this BS again when I don't receive anything after the op is expired on tuesday
you:
YOU just told me I can not get the packs I earned and did not get because the op is EXPIRED
Rahul:
If you do not get the packs for this event, you can contact us for further help.
you:
YEAH, I'M DOING THAT NOW!
you:
I did not get the commendation pack from Operation Sheildwall
Seems like they're throwing the devs under the buss, don't know why or how much the devs are involved in EA's in game store packs... I realy enjoyed the copy/paste answers over and over, and unless it's recently changed because of this SNAFU, the packs only had an expiration after receiving them.
