Yea i got mine from ebay and still got the 100.00 credit...I'm going to buy the New Nano

wow there aint much for the iphone...

i have a corporate account so i activate outside of itunes and it won't let me get the credit.

i just tried an it said i wasnt eligible but i remember i had a different number when i first got it so i tried the old number an it worked but its sent the text to the old number so i had to call apple an get its straightened out so if u changed ur number ur gonna have to call apple.

oh an P.S dont mine the grammar lol

From the site:

"To receive a credit, customers must submit requests between September 13, 2007, and November 30, 2007"

"ill take care of that later" doesn't sound like a good idea on this one.

i bought the bluetooth headset - Im a glutton for punishment when it comes to apple.

I know someone mentioned waiting til Leopard. Guess you cant if it's release date is after nov 30th :-\

It activates, but not legitimately. AT&T doesn't see that I have an iPhone so I can't get the rebate, and I'd like to activate through iTunes so I can get the rebate.

If you don't have an AT&T account, you can't get the credit. If you have had an iPhone just sitting there for months now, you have bigger issues and need to visit AT&T or Apple and have them sort out why it isn't working. Sounds fishy to me.

They prob meant waiting to use the credit on Leopard. Once you get the credit, it has no expiration date.

I activated my iphone I bought on Aug. 21st and it work like a breeze. Then I tried to activate one I bought for my girlfriend the day of the price drop and IT WORKED!!! So I have $200 credit!! WOOT!!! (YES I BOUGHT A 4GB IPHONE FOR $299 ON THE 5TH OF SEPTEMBER AND GOT THE REBATE) I dont know how but I just followed the same steps on both.

anyone know if you still can get this, even if cancel your account.

WOOT I GOT MY 100 DOLLARS!!!!
If anyones wondering you CAN buy Itunes Gift Cards on the apple website.

But I do have an AT&T account, have for years. There's nothing fishy, I got my phone SIM card unlocked (not carrier) just like half the other people on this forum cause I didn't want to sign a two year contract at the time. Therefore I never went through the activation through iTunes, but my iPhone still activates utomatically after a restore. Now I want to be able to activate through iTunes (the option never shows up, even after a restore), so AT&T recognizes that I have an iPhone, and so I can get the rebate..

I have gotten about 3 new SIM cards from AT&T, still can't get the activation screen on iTunes (Just the iPhone saying its activated after a restore). Everything works except visual voicemail, obviously. I have tried calling and going to both Apple and AT&T stores, and no one can help me.

Any thoughts?

Nope. Must have a valid account.

I'd just walk into AT&T and say hey, I've had this thing for months and I can't use it. Make it work.

If they don't know how, have them call the boss. If he doesn't, have him call his boss. Eventually, someone up the chain will know how to fix it. My buddy had the same issue. Took him 48 hours to clear it up, but he was on and off the phone the whole time. Just don't take no for an answer.

Only said it was fishy cause you said you've had it for over a month, and its just been sitting there. No big deal, you're just busy. If I paid $600 for something and it wouldn't work, I'd fix it or return it. ha.

went to link using Firefox, blue getting started button didn't show, used safari and it's there.

noice!! i just went to the store with mine and for a fm tuner, it ******* works awesome, not as good as the highspeed in my other car but still pretty decent.

I printed out my Rebate this morning and walked into my Apple store this afternoon, and looked around for a while trying to decide what to buy with my credit... I wanted the Bose or Shure headphones but they are freaking huge and there's no way they would fit under my Motorcycle helmet.. so I needed to update my Alarm clock and decided on getting This
I got it in black.. just too bad it doesn't dock my iPhone, but works great with my Nano, and it even has a USB port on the top so I can charge my iPhone in one unit..that's nice..

I got the Kensington digital FM transmitter in black

http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPL...nplm=TK885LL/A

it seemed to have decent comments on it. i found a empty station, its working fine, charging. playing the music thru the radio. it even has decent range, i tested on the driveway i had all 5 cars playing the same thing. 2 car lengths behind it started to get not so good quality but the others were okay.

I even saw that at the store.. I was looking for a wireless one.. oh well, may have to look into that later.. sounds like it works great..

well after waiting a while the sms message showed up and I printed out my rebate. I am going to the apple store this weekend to get a airport extreme base station, I'll hand over an additional $80.
So I tip my hat to Mr Jobs , you are good. Of course you would not be thrilled to know I getting the base station to make it easier to hack the iphone.
