Any one else get in store $100 Education Discount??

[tMac85]

So today i went in and bought my macbook. 2.0 version and got a $100 dollar education discount! Not the $50 like online. Was wondering if anyone else that bought theirs IN STORE got the same deal. I probably wasnt supposed to get the $100, but i wasnt going to say anything!

Give me half and I won't tell anyone. (I bought online).

Ooooh, if I could get it for $1199 with my student discount then I'd probably go out and buy it right now, then I could use the extra cash to buy myself a mighty mouse and an ice cream.

lol, I'm being serious too.

If I am interested in the 2.4 which is 1599, if I go in the store to purchase is it $50 or $100 discount? Online it says it was $100 for the 2.4 and only $50 for the 1299. Any one else verify how much discount for the 1599 model instore?

The instore discount is the same as the online discount. So it will be $100 for the high end new MB.


That's why its odd that the OP got $100 off instead of the $50 he was supposed to get.

dam why is it so expensive in canada! $1399 for the low end mb and $1749 for the high end model!!! this suckssss

 

[jUeLz23]

They told me $50 too... but I think thats for the 2.0ghz model. The 2.4ghz model is $100 and they gave it to me. I just pulled up the Edu. Apple Store online at one of the nearby macbooks on display and the sales rep immediately obliged.

They told me the same thing when I called the Apple store.

I got the $100 education discount on my 2.4 MacBook earlier today at the Apple store.

yes, but i got 100 off the 2.0 verison. not the 2.4. I was just wondering if anyone else had this and if it was just an in store- online- difference thing they did.

anyway. guess i got lucky!

If you look at your receipt its because you accidently got the "Individual Educator" discount, and not "Education Discount".

I got it too

 

[angemon89]

Well, just got back from the Apple store and they gave me the $100 discount on the 2.0 model.

I asked 2 people and they both told me $100. I wasn't going to say no to that!

 

[ec51]

To the people getting $100 discounts on the 2.0, what are your receipts saying as far as the educational discount.

Mine just says: Individual Educator ($100).

They apply the education discount at the very end of the checkout process(right before you hand over your cc) and I'm pretty sure they just type it in manually.

 

[hazoomeh]

That's interesting. There doesn't seem to be a distinction between teachers or "educators" and students on the apple store site. They are all lumped together under one link which gives you the $50 discount.

So this $100 in store thing is weird. Maybe some stores arent following orders correctly and are still giving the $100 as they used to for the old macbooks?

mine says individual educator too. and thus the mystery is solved.

yeah she got my edu code out of a book by the register. it obviously wasnt a 'new'book of codes.
so i think you are right about the old macbook codes.

 

[angemon89]

Oh, just in case you were wondering tmac, I didn't get my ice cream. I was too excited and rushed home to unbox my new MacBook. hehe

The high end MacBook is CAN$1749 in Canada which is US$1474.
It sells for US$1599 in the US so isn't it US$125 cheaper in Canada?
