Some iPhone gift certificate applicants deemed ineligible
Some users attempting to get their US$100 coupon from Apple for iPhones purchased before 22 August 2007 are being greeted with an error message stating that they “may not be eligible.”
The person is got the error message at right is none other than the PowerPage’s Rob Parker and I know that he’s eligible because I purchase my iPhone with him on launch day–29 June 2007.
I didn’t have any problems receiving my coupon and we both purchased our phones from an authorized AT&T store and activated them at the same time.
I haven’t redeemed my US$100 coupons yet so I don’t know if they’re going to have a $0 balance when I go to use them as some have reported. Luckily there’s a solution–re-apply and reprint.
Anyone else getting the error?
