This is what has happened to me, so I have started the email contact process because no phone number is provided for this.
Good luck everyone.
I am going to save mine and use it on the 16Gb 3G version coming out before X-mas
I just found out that you may have problems if you have had your iPhone replaced by Apple support or exchanged at the Apple or ATT stores because this system may not have your new SSN on file.

I am haveing the same problem, did you try using the original serial #? I also sent an email. Maybe we are getting more back because we had to deal with the dead screen issue
Can't wait to sit back and watch the fury of all the crybabies as they pontificate about Apple being corporate swine, etc. It should be interesting.
Not sure about the ethics of that......
Ummmm.... why would it be unethical?

No I am going to try that when I get home tonight after I locate the old #. I will let you know if it works.

Yea, I don't think it is unethical because you have to wonder if someone didn't buy an Iphone sign up for ATT what exactly are they doing with it? I bet whatever it is it is not what Apple wants consumers to be doing with the Iphone.
I bet the population of people who have Iphones and are not on ATT are fewer than 5,000 out of the 1 million sold. I doubt we would here a peep from these people.
Oh well, AppleInsider stole it anyway and gave it a crappy photoshop job to boot.

No iTunes store purchases
Where did you see that info.... I just got mine, and somehow missed the info on what was/was not eligible. Darn, I'd like to have spent 30-40 bucks some ringtones......

It will be interesting to know if those with unlocked iPhones can receive the credit?
Anyone with an unlocked phone tried yet?
Any success??

WORKED! Use your original serial and your good to go!
I read the FAQ and I did not see anywhere that it is transferable or not. So I maybe you can sell it on ebay, or donate it to a charity.

You need to read slower :-
"Customers may not resell, transfer, or otherwise assign the credits."
