Wow, Apple's customer service rocks. It wasn't even their fault. My BOA card kept denying Apple from taking payment because they thought its fraud since it was a high charge on the card...
I called BOA and they removed the freeze and said it should work. But Apple still was having trouble. I called Apple three times, and each time I talked to them they added something free.
First call.. I didn't even request anything and they said they'll throw in $30 worth of iPhone accessories I had ordered in addition to the laptop will be included free.
Second call.. I asked if shipping time will be delayed since I placed my laptop order yesterday.. and they said the shipping dates is still on track for the same time period.. but to show they are sorry they offered me a case for my new laptop. When I said I want the incase one that costs 59.50 they said thats for the old MBP. I said well the dimensions are pretty close it should be no issues. But they said just in case they won't do it, and instead gave me a full 59.50 credit from my total.
Third call.. Finally got the credit card payment to get thru. Asked them about overnight shipping option since im so anxious now. I had 2-3 day selected already. Since im getting mine customized (2.8ghz/320gb 7200RPM) they said its coming from overseas and quickest is the 2-3 days I had already selected. But they'll not charge for it and waived the shipping fee.
So that was $100 of free stuff right there. Plus I got $100 for student discount. By the way, if you join eBates.com they offer you rebate (paid to you every 3 months) on most websites including Apple. They only give 1% for Apple but thats like $25 more free off! So i got that too.
Whoohoo!!
