I bought my iPhone launch day, activated with a prepaid plan and then cancelled it to use it just as a Web Browser, iPod, Photo Viewer, and Calender. So now it doesn't work as a phone, can I still get this rebate?
I tried several times before I figured out the 'S' in my serial number wasn't a '5'.
NOT Pleased!!
Ever since I heard of the credit, I thought "Cool! iTunes store, here I come - time to pick up another hundred songs!" Then I read the terms and conditions:
Customers may not redeem their store credits: (1) at any iTunes Store in the United States or elsewhere, (2) Apple Store locations outside the United States; (3) at Apple resellers; (4) for cash; (5) to purchase Apple Gift Cards, or,iTunes Store Gift Certificates, to give iTunes Store content as gifts, or to create iTunes Store allowances; or (6) as payments on Apple accounts.
Sorry, Apple - but THAT blows chunks.

gosh darnit! I activated on iDay ( june 29 ) and chose the month to month option. I let the month expire and used up all my minutes. Since I still have a contract with T Mobile until Dec 5, I ported the number back to T Mobile so they would waive the early termination fee. Which they did.
I was planning to go back to ATT on Dec 6 but now the fine print says this store credit must be done by Nov 30!
I have been using my razr and enjoying my iPhone as a "revolutionary internet device" all this time.
What to do? What to do?...

lol, sneaky. Apple barely make any money on those so I can sort of understand this.
My dot mac membership is scheduled to auto-renew next month. I tried changing my settings so that I could pay most of the bill with the iPhone credit, but it only wants to take credit cards. Anyone know how I can pay for my .mac renewal with this credit?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Don't think it's gonna work. I bought two phones. One for me and one for a friend (who is currently out of the country). I was able to get my refund, no problem and have the serial number of her phone from my receipt.
I used a non-iphone at&t number from one of my other phones and her serial number but can't get the credit to go through. Guess I'll have to wait till she gets back from overseas.
Going through the rebait process was very simple and very fast. Good show Apple!
Now I will use the $100 to help purchase a copy of the new Logic Studio 8 bundle (what a deal!) tomorrow.
Lets see, Apple gives me a rebate and I give them $399 more...who says Steve is dumb! ;-)

Very easy to get the credit. Now what do I spend this on?
Read the terms and conditions to see what you CAN'T spend it on first.
Okay, so what if I bought an iPhone as a gift for a friend? I have the receipt which I assume has the serial number on it, but how do I get the ATT message?
Awesome
For those searching for ideas... I bought 4 $25 iTunes gift cards - the shipping is free and since tax is assessed later it's tax free so you really only spend $100 If I manage to hold on to any of them long enough I can give them away as Christmas presents! haha

You don't. You don't own the phone, your friend does. The friend gets it. Tell the friend to give the rebate to you. Prepare to lose friendship.

Umm - I just did it and didn't have a single hang up... You might try it anyway...
What to buy, what to buy.
I could use it for Leapord (anyone know when it's due out?), but I was planning on getting that anyway.
Maybe a nice Apple TV is in order.
