Apple's Back to School Promo to Start Tuesday

I purchased my macbook 3 years ago with this deal, I think it's time for an upgrade!

I don't remember if it was possible w/the previous promotions, but could you purchase more than 1 mac product and still qualify for the 199$ rebate iPod for each mac purchased? Or would it be limited to one per customer? Would be nice to get the iPods as an early xmas gift for the niece and nephew.

You're eligible for 1 Desktop (iMac), 1 Laptop, and 1 Mac Mini under the normal educational discounts per year. For each Mac you purchase under said discount (with the exception of Mac Mini) you can get an iPod.

Therefore, it is possible (and I've seen it done), to get an iPod with the purchase of one desktop and one laptop. However, two laptops will not qualify (the second one won't even get the regular educational discount).
 
Apple are literally giving iPods away and people are complaining. We're the worst generation that's ever lived.

I think this is awesome, I'm ordering mine tomorrow with a heavily discounted iPod Classic thrown in. Cheers, Apple!

if i buy a pro labtop, can the credit be saved and used when the new touch is released?

No, and if you wait till the new iPods are released in September to purchase the Mac you will only be able to get the older model iPods that are available now.
 
well that sucks, i have to go to college on september 5th and was hoping to take up a redesigned ipod touch and macbook pro, this ****s my plans
 
You could always get the iPod touch, keep it sealed/in its box, and try re-selling it locally and use that money towards the new iPod Touches when they come out.

Sweet, thanks for the clarification man! 27" iMac and 15" MBP here I come! :D:apple:

thats a good idea. would the apple store accept the return?

I doubt it. Your best bet would be to try selling it on craigslist. If it's still sealed in the original box you can probably sell it for almost full price. Since they wont have to pay tax on it :p Only deal locally/in-person, accept cash-only, and don't ship to anyone. Never use pay-pal either (it's popular with scammers).

Anyone know if I can avail the $199 discount on the iPad instead?

You want to get a Mac and an iPad? :rolleyes:

Seriously, the promo clears iPod inventory before the new ones come out in the fall. iPads are flying off the shelves; there would be no point in cutting the price on it.
 
So can I use the Ipod rebate to get a $200 discount on a 32GB Ipod Touch or do I have to use it to get a free 8GB Ipod Touch?

And is it still possible to get a free printer on top of all this?

Yes and yes. You can pay $299 upfront and receive a check for $200 for the rebate.

You may also get the printer and receive the $100 rebate.
 
Shouldn't apple.com have announced the promo by now? Or do they typically wait until later in the day/morning?
 
Refurbished

Typically, in the past, the deal has not applied to refurbished units.

Also, raydsr is incorrect, the deal only, specifically applies to iPods.
