I can't believe it. AMEX, American Express, just gave me $200 back for my iPhone purchase.
Tuaw updated us saying that AMEX is now giving iPhone customers, who used their AMEX card, the $200 back.
I just got it back!
I called the American Express Return Protection line at 1-800-297-8019 and the nice customer rep said:
Do you want a credit or a check in the mail?
I said a credit is fine!
I should get the credit in about 14 days!
AMEX, you finally came through for me!
Digg users, I turned off comments - the comments were killing the server. So go back to Digg and comment there. Thanks.

That's very cool. Maybe I should go back and get an Amex card, I used to have one like 10 years ago.

That's awesome! Congratulations though I don't know why... you have an iPhone and I don't AND you just got $200 back for it. Them dropping the price was the only retribution non-iPhone adopters had going for us. Dammit. =)

I just found out that Apple is giving a $100 credit. So, does that mean that if you were an early adopter you get $300?

Either you spend more than I do, or you got lucky because they filed a claim for me and did not give me the credit right away instead said an examiner will review it. I signed up for this particular card I put the phones on only two weeks before it was terminated.

Now if you get your $100 back off Apple, you've got $300 back. You could buy an Apple TV.
