Well, I have mine being shipped to me as we speak...and they did not ask for a credit card...has anyone else had to provide a credit card to get their MBP mattery exchanged?

Personally I've never had to provide a credit card number for a replacement part. On the form attached to the box it states that you'll "be charged" if you fail to return the defec…
