The free gift card is in addition to Apple's standard educational discounts, with students able to save around $50 to $100 off a Mac or iPad. The gift cards can be used towards the purchase of Apple products, accessories, App Store apps, subscriptions to services like Apple Music, iCloud+ storage, and more. Apple is also offering students 20% off AppleCare+ plans during the promotion.Īpple is offering a $150 gift card with the purchase of any new MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or iMac model, and a $100 gift card with the purchase of any new iPad Pro or iPad Air model, with full terms and conditions outlined on Apple's website. This year's promotion offers a free Apple gift card with the purchase of an eligible Mac or iPad, rather than free AirPods like last year.
Apparently it is supposed to be a US program for US students and US university so you have to be able to prove you live here.Apple today launched its annual "Back to School" promotion for college/university students in the United States and Canada. We were told it is in case we are audited. What you REALLY must bring, though, is your driver's license or learner's permit. You can order online whether you're a gas station attendant or a breeder of Springer Spaniels and just lie, or you can do the right thing and only take the discount if you qualify for it according to Apple's guidelines.Īs for proof in the store, you can bring an acceptance letter if you're in high school and accepted at a university so you can buy a new computer for college, or you can bring a badge, or show that you have a school email. So during this summer's promotion where Apple's offering Wireless Beats on top of the discount, you have a choice. This was always maddening to us at the retail level because we repeatedly were told and reminded that it is ONLY FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS (and teachers/staff of ANY GRADE school or homeschool or school board. Apple believes in positive intent they don't verify on the web site. If you go to the store, unless the specialist does you a favor, probably in return for you giving him/her a good review on the survey that comes with your receipt, which negates the whole purpose of the feedback you give and the intent of the survey. I worked at the Apple store in CT for almost three years and, while you can easily use the Apple Store for Education without being verified no matter WHO you are, it is not using the discount in an honest manner.
