The incompatible message for root means nothing more than google covering there butt if an exploit VIA root is carried out. I got my $40 5 days after I got the phone, with root. I bought mine in a Sprint store launch day. My wifes has not gotten it and she got online from radioshack. So I'll give it another week and see if it comes before I raise hell.

I finally got my extra $40.00 today and I was one of the pre-order folks who got my phone the Friday before launch. Also, I am actually running CM9 AOKP and I still received the extra $40.00 fine so being rooted/running custom ROM's doesn't seem to make any difference in receiving your extra money (assuming that every time you flash your phone, you use the same google account for wallet).

The deal has always been that the extra $40 will be sent within 3 weeks of your phone activation.
If not there by then, call the Wallet.

I am quoting and correcting myself.

The $40.00 will be in your account within 3 weeks of your Google Wallet activation, not your phone activation.

Sorry for any confusion.
