This credit is extended to end-customers who own a qualifying iPhone purchased from Apple or AT&T prior to August 22, 2007. To receive a credit, customers must submit requests between September 13, 2007 and November 30, 2007. Requests will not be accepted after November 30, 2007. The program is for a $100 Apple electronic store credit in the form of a numeric code consisting of a credit number and PIN. This program is limited to one $100 Apple electronic store credit per eligible iPhone. Customers should record the numeric codes that are presented electronically through the web browser. Apple will not replace lost or stolen codes. Only iPhones activated through AT&T are eligible to receive a credit.
Some iPhones will not qualify for a credit. They are:
• iPhones purchased from Apple from August 22, 2007, through September 4, 2007, as they are subject to price protection.
• iPhones that have been returned to Apple or AT&T
• iPhones for which a Gift Card, rebate, or other consideration have already been issued
• iPhones that Apple provided to employees, either for personal use or for departmental use
• iPhones provided by Apple for product reviews
• AppleCare Service iPhones
• iPhones registered to customers whose addresses are outside the United States
• iPhones for which Apple or AT&T already has extended price protection under applicable sales terms
• iPhones purchased by corporations or education institutions where Apple has provided alternative accommodation.

MacDailyNews Note: For an 8GB iPhone purchased on June 29th, we successfully received a $100 Apple Store credit in under 1 minute.
Didn’t work because I used a new number for the first few days and then ported my Verizon number over. Now I have to send an e-mail to Apple and wait.
@ Terry
I did the same as you, new number first week (purchased iPhone August 21) then ported my number from Sprint to ATT.
I entered my current, updated iPhone number (my original Sprint number) wondering if the number change was gonna foul up everything since the phone was registered with the interim temporary phone number.
No problemo. None. Literally 20 seconds for Apple to process the info once entered.
Glorious!
Got so exited about my iPhone credit that I applied for it using my iPhone, took less than a minute. now I can’t print the coupon. Oh well, guess I’ll just do it the old fashion way and write it down.
“the old fashion way and write it down.”
You’re going analog? Crap. That sucks, man. Good luck with that.
for me it took less than a minute. then i got in my car, drove to the apple store, and used it to buy another iPhone for my wife =) now we are one happy iPhone family
Got mine! wow, that took less than 2 minutes from start to finish…way to be on the ball….
Nothing better then free $$$, I’d agree with a previous comment and I wasn’t expecting anything from Apple. Way to get this rebate in place so quickly IT department! Now for the hard part… what to buy?
Uh. Wow. That was simple. Took longer than others here are mentioning — more like 3 minutes — but probably the server is getting hammered about now.
Thanks Apple! I was happy with my purchase, and didn’t expect, and certainly didn’t demand, anything like this. But, I’ll gladly take it! Hmmm… what to get at the Apple store… hmmm…
MW: Clearly, Apple knows how to treat customers better than any other electronics manufacturer.
Just noticed this: “Only iPhones activated through AT&T;are eligible to receive a credit.”
Teh h4xorz that unlocked their iPhones are gonna be pissed. LOL!!!!!!!!!
While the text message things is great, it is flawed in that if you bought two iPhones as wedding gifts for someone. So I bought one for me and my spouse and sister and two as gifts. Thats
How nice is it to go to the bride and groom. Uh, hand over your iPhones, I just tried to get some store credits off the gift I got ya.
Send Apple an email with receipt. Hope they give the store credits to me. It would be nice. But then again, a gift is a gift.
But dang if those credits don’t add up!
I am an Early iPhone Owner and I donating my $100 Apple Store Credit for Early iPhone Owners to a PC user who would like to start using a Mac.

Didn’t work for me, and I can’t figure out why. I meet all the criteria. I’ve had the same number from the start, which I ported over from Sprint. So I had to write to them…and wait.
