I tried in 2 stores in Atlanta, then called the Apple store, which then transfered me to the iPhone rebate dept, then transfered me to sales support. None of which could tell me why, only that it is not an eligible item for the iPhone credit.
I asked in the store, what if I wanted to give the credit as a gift and they said you can give them the print out to use.. I thought it was pretty ignorant personally, but like Big John said, it's a credit so I guess I shouldn't complain much..
Along with all the other Apple BS, I tired to swap my 2 iPhone Apple store credits for an Apple gift card and they said Apple specifically said they can't, but no one can tell me why. I remember when Apple used to go out of their way for customers, but now they seem to be going out of their way to piss them off..
