They're not refunding you the money though. They're just giving you store credit so you can buy more Apple items. It is likely that you'll buy something that costs more than $100 as well.


I know, and it's part of the disappointment that they didn't even go as far as offering the full $200 back as Apple credit since it's not a real refund. However, I do plan on buying other Apple products in the future, so the $100 won't go unwasted. Leopard comes out in October, so thats $129 right there.

I did also call American Express to see what they were doing, and I have a claim submitted at this point for the full $200 refund along with the tax on the $200. Quite a few people have had success going this route already it seems.
