Anyone bothered by the mail in rebate being offered?

I saw this article on AOL and it reminded me of the Verizon $100 mail in rebate for TP2

I don't know if its the same for other carriers or not, but I was a little annoyed that I would not be getting cash but a prepaid credit card, even though its advertised as a $100 MIR. The cash itself is more important to me than what I can buy with it, as I use most of my cash for a lot of cash necessary purposes such as poker and bills. Just wondering what others thought of this. I was thinking I could try to use the card at the casino like a cash advance to get the cash out but I highly doubt it would work.
