Apple Recycling Programme

Has anyone used it before? Or know much about it?
http://www.apple.com/uk/recycling/computer/

I have a MacBook that I was looking to sell, but checked on the website and Apple are giving me a good price. It says they credit the bank account, does that mean that it is not like a gift card where I can only use that credit towards a new product from Apple? As I understand they just credit your bank account and thats it...?
the monetary value of your device will be transferred into your bank account and you can use it to purchase a brand-new Mac, iPod, iPhone or iPad

Thanks

    From reading the website, I'm sure they credit your bank account and that's it, like you said.

    But Apple assume that you are going to replace your MacBook with a new one (or other Apple device) because once you have fallen for their siren song once you can never resist it again!
