If you have the Nikon Message Center on your computer you will also get a notification. I also received An email for a D7500 firmware update.
The notifications I get are about the programs that Nikon offers - have yet to see one about firmware.

I never worry about Nikon sending any emails for firmware updates. I have a pop up notification to check Nikon site every 6 weeks, takes me 3 min to find out yes or no.
This new update was so minimal, I didn't bother

If you are registered with each camera on account on Nikonusa.com, you will always get update (firmware) information. I do on my D800, D850 and D5.

Jeff, I’m registered, my gear is registered, but I don’t get announcements. I get plenty of ads, but that’s it, and clearly I’m not alone.

I get a personal phone call from Japan from the CEO of Nikon for every update. Guess you guys don't rate.

I'm wondering if any other D500 owners we're not notified about the update yet. Maybe they do it in batches?
I have bought 3 Nikon cameras and I don't believe I ever received any notification of updates. I just periodically check the sight and see if they show any updates available for any of them and if there is I just download the updates and install them.

I had problems figuring out how to download it, but I was able to (stupid issue for me). But, anyway, you can download from the Nikon web site without any problems. You don't need an "invitation" from Nikon. So far, seems minor to me as well.

Same here, D70, D70s, D200, D7000, D7100, D500, never gotten an email, and every one is/was registered.
Now, I feel slighted to hear that others get notifications. I'm moving to Canon. (Just kidding)

Do you have the "Nikon Message Center" installed?

I have 2 Nikons, the first one, a D3100 bought in 2010, and a D500 bought in 2017. I registered both with Nikon on their website as soon as I got them and subscibed to get emails informing me of firmware updates and NEVER got one! Was kind of frustrated that I had to continuously check their download page for any updates. Then low and behold!, last week I actually got my first email (for the D500) advising of a firmware update. I was assuming that maybe things are changing, but apparently NOT based on your question....oh well, I guess I'll just keep on checking the website to be safe.
