The phone’s sitting right next to my laptop as I’m writing this, so I’m sure I didn’t return it - and am now wondering if, in the rush to get this credit out the door, someone missed something in their query for eligible customers.

I’m actually very pleased with the $100 Apple Store credit offer. Some folks don’t care, or are otherwise annoyed, because we have to use the credit at the Apple Store (and you can’t use it for gift cards). That’s fine by me, though - as it will drop the cost of the AppleCare contract I planned to buy next week by a hundred bucks.

**Update** Apple emailed me back and said I received this error due to a bug which had been resolved, and to try again. I did, and received the same error message. Then, they told me to register my iPhone, which I did - and I received the same error message when attempting to register for the credit again. Waiting to hear back on what my next course of action will be.
