I just checked. It did save me about $10 in taxes.
I ordered the Apple TV several hours ago and have not received the gift card. it says it should only take an hour. Order still showing processing.
I don’t know why anyone is paying tax for gift cards. I have never been charged for taxes on a gift card from any retailer ever.
Anyway, yes, taxes should be cheaper since you’re purchasing a discounted product.
Received gift card in less than hour. Already redeemed. I’ll let apple hold it a few days though. No desire to deal with Black Friday nutjobs.
Could be pickup vs delivery. Mine was ready to pick up at 845am.
Damn most of the Apple Store and Best Buy near me are all currently not available to pick up Watch SE, what about y’all?

Sucks that this can't be combined with the education/veteran pricing or refurbished products. Was going to get the M1 11" iPad Pro but ended up doing the 2nd Gen 11" iPad Pro from the refurb store.
$799 w/$100 gift card vs $548 and not having to bother with a gift card. Couldn't justify the price difference when I likely wouldn't have come close to using the power of the M1.
Especially since if the 11" iPad next year comes with OLED or Mini LED I'll trade-in for that.

I was able to hit Apple Cherry Creek at 8 am (mst). Was there for an AppleTV 4K, 64GB. Store was rockin’. Def worth it for that $50 gift card. Combining it and another $25 gift card for a new Watch band (stocking stuffer).
this is a little silly - i bought 2 ipad accessories yesterday and now i can't buy the 4-pack of airtags at all, because i've exceeded the gift card limit for the promo.
as far as i can tell there's no way to decline the promo gift card, so i just can't buy the airtags until the black friday promotion ends.

I bought an iPad Pro and Pencil online yesterday with my Apple Card. 20 hours later, I finally received the gift card for the Pencil, but no gift card for the iPad yet.
if you follow this link to Apple's EDU store, will it let you order the AirTags now? https://www.apple.com/us-hed/shop/buy-airtag/airtag/4-pack
or why not just have a family member or friend order it with their Apple acct?
thanks for the link to the edu store!
i could, i guess, but then would lose the 3% cash back since i'm the only family member on the apple card. still it would be worth it for the GC.

I purchased 3 items and it says the gift cards were sent to an old email that is no longer active. I was not even aware this email was still on my account. I called Apple and they told me there was nothing they could do. So I guess I am SOL when it comes redeeming the gift cards.
Be careful how you redeem the gift card. I got the email today, clicked on "Redeem" thinking I would get the code, but doing that caused the gift card to be added to my iTunes/App Store account. So now I'm stuck with $50 there that I wanted o use on hardware.
I got it figured out. It’s because I have two Apple IDs and I didn’t sign out of the wrong when when I did it. If only I could merge them…
