I bought my iPhone on July 28 from AT&T store.
Yesterday, I called Apple and At&T to get my money back but their was nothing I could do.
This morning I read a post on this forum telling to call American Express. I first asked Amex to match the price difference. The lady first said there was nothing she could do as they don't offer this service since last year.
My Amex protection plan states that if my item is stolen or broken, they will pay it back. For a minute, I was seriously thinking about drowining my iPhone or pretend it got stolen (this is actually a bad idea since you need to get a police report, etc...)
Later this morning, I went to the Apple's iPhone forum and read a thread about amex paying back customers! I called them again and explained I read somewhere they were paying the $200 back.
I am a gold member and I use my amex for everything I can. I spend A LOT of money with amex and I ALWAYS pay bills on time.
After 2 minutes (literraly) on the phone with a rep, he told me he would be able to credit my account back for $200+tax! He says it will appear on my account online within 24 hours!
I can't believe how easy it was...
He said they received hundreds of calls and for most people, you're gonna have to fill out forms and wait like 3 weeks and stuffs but for people like me who have a gold card (or platinum), they give the money back almost instantly.
This terrible nightmare is over for me but I still wanna fight Apple as much as I can. I hate them for what they did to us. I will never buy Apple ever again and I encourage you to do so.
Good luck everyone!
