I was going to wait until black Friday to do this, but being out of town and not having access to all the goodies online, I went to my local camera store and explained the problem.

I purchased the D500 and a phone call on black friday (they do the paperwork shuffle) and they will send the the multi battery pack. Sounded like a good deal to me.

I think this is the benefit of having a good local camera shop. When I bought my D810, Nikon had a deal on that gave $200 off if I bought the 70-200mm f/4.0 with it, and I reserved that combo with my local shop on the phone. When I came in the next day, they didn't have a 70-200mm f/4.0 in stock. I told the owner I'd rather buy from him than New York, particularly at the same price; he promised he'd give me the $200 off the 70-200 as soon as he got one in, and he did in about three weeks. I don't know what kind of paperwork shuffle he did, but I'm a re-confirmed customer who only orders from New York when my local guy just can't get it for me.
