If you’re one of those on the cutting edge of Apple technology and got yourself an iPhone soon after the launch, that $100 Apple Store credit Jobs offered you in lieu of a $200 price reduction is now available online. The process is pretty simple and gives instant gratification (no snail mail involved); just follow the instructions on the website and enter in your iPhone phone number and serial number and then Apple will message you with a special access code. Once you enter that in you’re good to go.

If you’re wondering if you qualify, the $100 credit applies to anyone who bought the iPhone from AT&T or Apple at full price prior to August 22. But, rumor has it that some of those who have purchased the new price-reduced iPhones have been able to enter their number and get the credit anyway. No confirmations on that on – you might expect some recourse if you do get that to work but hey, it’s worth a try.

There was also some confusion that the credit wouldn’t be good towards iTunes music, but apparently that was a mistake. The $100 credit can be applied towards iTunes gift cards. Also, in small print, you must take advantage of this deal before November 30 but the credit is good forever. So, if you haven’t done this yet, hit the link below now before you forget (AT&T activated iPhones only… bummer).
