Apple Store: 6th Anniversary Discount

MacRumors · 10:27 PM

Apple is emailing some of its customers with a special 6th Anniversary Promotion celebrating the 6th year of their online Apple Store.

Quote:

Thanks to your continuing support, we're celebrating our sixth anniversary at the worldwide Apple Store. You've helped us grow into the premier online destination for Apple products, and the digital lifestyle accessories and software that make them even more useful and fun. Because you're one of our loyal customers, we're offering you this special discount of $XX off your order of $XXX or more when you shop online at the Apple Store by December 15, 2003.

Discounts have not been consistent with one report of $25 off purchases above $250, and another $100 off purchases above $999. Customers are being emailed specific Claim Codes, so this offer is not available for the general public.

It's unknown which customers are being offered discounts.

why wouldnt they be advertising this more?

G4scott · Oct 28, 2003, 10:17 PM

I've bought an iPod from there. All my computers come from CompUSA...

macboygrey · Oct 28, 2003, 10:18 PM

Damn! I just missed making the first post >_<...

I ordered my G5 through the Apple Store... This baby wasn't cheap. (That's right... it was decked out...)

I haven't received anything yet. I want a discount on... something. :shrugs:

tazznb · Oct 28, 2003, 10:18 PM

I didn't get one!

MacManDan · Oct 28, 2003, 10:22 PM

I got the one about $100 off an order of $999 or more. I don't know if I'd use it though .. I'm just a poor college student after all. My friend down the hall received the $25 off of $249 or more, and we don't really understand the discrepancy.. Any clues?

Toppa G's · Oct 28, 2003, 10:23 PM

Eh...never mind. Curious about this offer though. Wonder what their basis for recipients is.

Foxer · Oct 28, 2003, 10:23 PM

I got a $100 off of $999 this evening. Excellent....

I also got a $25 off of $250 a coupe weeks ago for shopping at ITMS, which I thought was weird since I've only speant about $10 there ever.

I hope i can combine them (and my .mac renewal). Almsot $150 off in total. 15-inch PB, come to papa.

FYI. The text portion reads, "Thanks to your continuing support, we’re celebrating our sixth anniversary at the worldwide Apple Store.

Edit: Hmm .. originally he wanted the full text.

I've bought the following from the Apple store in the past year: 15 gig 3rd gen iPod, some accessories for it, QT Pro, and Panther. I haven't purchased a new Mac or anything. I don't think I've come close to $1,000 in purchases.

I edited after I saw that what I figured was the full text was at the beginning of the thread. Thanks for the full text and image though

Waiting for mine

billyb · Oct 28, 2003, 10:33 PM

I've bought an iPod from the site, but nothing bigger. I got the $25 off coupon. maybe they give the smaller one to people who've bought less than a computer? a guess, when more people post i'm sure we'll figure out if there's a pattern.

but i'm in the market for a new powerbook right now, and $100 would actually be a big deciding factor in the purchase! anyone have a code i can use for $100? Or does it work that way? would it even let me use someone else's code?

bb

edit: i just read the terms and they're not transferable. darn.

mkjellman · Oct 28, 2003, 10:36 PM

I have ordered three computers from the Apple store, .Mac, two iPods, many games, bose headphones, three xServes, Jaguar, I got panther from ADC, QuickTime Pro 4 and 6, two cinema displays, and finaly two new sets of iPod headphones and dock cords (dumb dog!). I think I would have gotten something but....NO???? I can't understand how they are deciding who should get it and who does not get one.

ITR 81 · Oct 28, 2003, 10:37 PM

I hope I get something I bought a 40GB iPod from them, a floppy drive, a FM tuner, Panther OS, Learning language software, Studio MX, and Mac Office.

alia · Oct 28, 2003, 10:58 PM

I've never purchased anything from the Apple store online, although I have received those kinds of coupons from them before. The best one I ever got was after I registered my iPod. I got a coupon for $100 off a purchase of $250. The most recent was $25 off of $249 or more, but I didn't use it because I purchased my powerbook at the store.

I haven't received this most recent coupon yet though.

Great Pulp references! But it's actually "I heard an old girlfriend", not "my old girlfriend." And, "church" is misspelled.

BTW, I just received a $20 off coupon for renewing my .Mac account.

shakespeare · Oct 28, 2003, 11:11 PM

I received two gift certificates within ten minutes of each other: the $100 of $999 and the $25 off $249. Very cool.

SilentPanda · Oct 28, 2003, 11:14 PM

I may be buying an iBook this week... man oh man it'd be nice to get one of these happy lil' e-mails.... please please please...

brogers · Oct 28, 2003, 11:27 PM

Got my coupon just now. Thanks Apple.

TommyC · Oct 29, 2003, 12:13 AM

Any international customers get one of these or is a US only thing?

Toppa G's · Oct 29, 2003, 12:24 AM

Anyone get them who are education customers?

Yes. I only buy off Apple's online store if I can get a good education discount, and I received the $100 off of $999+ purchase coupon (see my post above).

...what did you buy from the Apple store to get a coupon?

candan9019 · Oct 29, 2003, 01:14 AM

I didn't get one yet and I don't want one. I just got my $20 .mac coupon and bought a wireless keyboard.

If I get another coupon I'll be totally broke.
