Didn't get that $200 rebate from Apple for the iPhone 3GS? Wait a bit longer

File this under "From a poor, overworked customer rep at a contracted call center," but when I asked an Apple customer service representative today if I would qualify for that $200 refund that some early iPhone 3G adopters were getting for upgrading to the iPhone 3G, she consulted her supervisor (or took a smoke break) and returned to say, "We've been told that those emails are going out in stages and it will take another week before they're all sent." I hope against hope—that would make my 3GS upgrade basically free (if you ignore my renewed 2-year contract with AT&T).
