$200 Refund on iPhone 3Gs?
I just received an e-mail (excerpt below) that looks to me that I will be receiving a $200 refund on my iPhone 3Gs pre-order from Apple. I originally paid $399 plus taxes and fees since I am one year into my two year contract. Then, at 5:54 PM EST, I get this e-mail from Apple:
Update! It looks like this was announced earlier today. I should check my RSS feeds more often! From MacRumors.com: AT&T Extends iPhone 3G S Upgrade Pricing to Many Customers.
To Our Valued Apple Customer:
On June 17, AT&T announced a change to their upgrade eligibility policy and ‘best upgrade pricing’ for qualifying iPhone 3G owners.
Based on AT&T’s updated qualification criteria, we are pleased to inform you that you are eligible to receive a refund on your recent iPhone 3G S purchase.
Your Order Acknowledgment and Shipment Notification emails will reflect the original purchase price. However, Apple will issue you a refund in the amount of $200.00, which is the difference between your original purchase price and the new qualifying price.
Apple will process your refund in the next 5 days, and will send you an email when this has been completed. We will process your refund based on your original payment method. See below for details.
No additional action is needed on your part for you to receive the refund. These activities will not impact your estimated delivery dates.
You can view the most up-to-date status of your order, including monitoring the details of your refund, at online Order Status
. Thank you for choosing Apple.
Sincerely,
Apple Online Store TeamAnswers to many Apple Online Store questions can be found at Online Help
