I just received an email from AT&T saying that I'm "not qualified" for the $25, because I'm on a prepaid plan. I wasn't even given that option when I signed up at the Apple Store! Has anyone actually received their certificate yet? I'm going to call customer service in a little bit.
Got a tip for us?

the e-mail si right, prepaid plans don't qualify for the $25 credit. Nor do most people signing up on FANs (because technically your employer is the one referring you, not the other person wanting a $25 gift card).
People on FANs can refer other people though (as long as they're not signing up on a FAN).

I did
Here is the email I received... which is total BS, as I had a 450 min plan originally, then swapped to a 700 min Family Plan.
