Ok, I hope this clears up your questions. (Whether or not you like the answer is another matter entirely.
)
There is no way to get a discount at the time of purchase of SEIV Gold. In fact at purchase it doesn't ask you if you own a previous Version of SEIV. You pay your jack and wait for the box.
When it arrives you eagerly tear open the box and find, 1. A CD, 2. A manual, 3. A rebate form.
Fill out the rebate form and mail it to shrapnel, along with a piece of your old SEIV CD, or the whole CD if you can't bear to break it.
As far as what forms the rebate can take. Quote from Tim Brooks, aka "The MAN". He has not contradicted this in any later Posts as far as I can tell, so it still stands.

PLEASE READ:
At this point it looks like we will do the following:
Send us the CD or a piece thereof that includes the Shrapnel Games logo, and include the rebate form that comes with the GOLD Version. On the form will be three choices (you must select one):
1. $15.00 Check
2. $15.00 Store Credit
3. $12.00 Credit to your charge card.
We also, if space allows, will include the original Version of SEIV on the GOLD CD.
The point is the rebate comes after you buy and receive the Gold Version, not before.

P.S. The reason for the 3 dollar difference in option 3 was not some evil plan to buy Tim a new Lexus. It's simply because that is what the credit card company charges Shrapnel for a transaction. That option (Credit to charge card) was not originally going to be offered. They decided to include it as a show of good customer service because of the issues raised by a very few people in this forum.
