I just ordered a BTO macbook last week and will be receiving very soon! 🙂
Everything was fine until I found out that college students can get education discount! And that discount is a LOT of money.
Yeah, it's a dumb mistake but as a new mac convert I wasn't aware of such discounts because I was never familiar with the concept considering that I have never seen a student discount from the PC world.
I was wondering if I could get the discount after I bought the computer. I'm so unhappy with the fact that I could have saved so much money from BTO performance upgrade, apple care discount, and additional $100!
Please share anything what you think I should do. Thanks in advance. I really don't want to live with the fact that I spent extra money than other students on campus with mac did.
 
the long way round

A way i could see to do it if they dont give you a refund of the difference would be to not open it and send it back under the 14 days policy and order again through education store.
