I can offer some perspective, I tried them both and kept the Studio Display. The Samsung M8 is a fantastic monitor, and you'll be surprised to know that the image quality was very equivalent to the Studio Display for most applications. The reasons I kept the Studio Display were: 1) It had way better audio, 2) Construction quality.
What exactly did you try? This promotion hasn’t started yet. I looked at the terms of the promotion, and the only relevant restriction I found was
Except for ACMI, this offer cannot be combined with other Apple promotion(s) or financing offers that are directed to individual end-user customers in the Qualifying Location. This offer also cannot be combined with the Apple Employee Purchase Plan or business loyalty pricing.
Education pricing is not a “promotion” and is not explicitly excluded in the terms.
Two years ago, I was able to get 4 or 5 cards from Target with separate orders. Last year, since they are paying you $15 ecards from Target themselves, they limited this to 1. Plus I was using Target red card to get the extra 5%. I couldn't figure out how to get it without opening 5 accounts.
Shopping Event Terms and Conditions
From November 28 through December 1, get an Apple Gift Card up to $250 when you buy an eligible product. Read the terms and conditions for Apple’s Shopping Event.

A few years back I bought ten $100 gift cards in-store; this was when it was $20 Target Gift Card for every $100 Apple.
Earlier this year I bought eight $100 gift cards online w/$10 Apple Gift cards (Discover had a 5% bonus cashback for Apple Pay and I was also able to stack a unique Target Circle offer -- IIRC it was make 2 purchases over $90 and get $20 back).
Made separate purchases for each $100 gift card in-store and also online. Had no issues using them.
Then use the gift cards with education or military discount to save even more.
Terms are different in the U.S. this year.
Black Friday & Cyber Monday Shopping Event - Apple
For a limited time, get up to a $200 Apple Gift Card when you buy an eligible iPhone, Mac, iPad, Apple Watch and more. Starts November 24.www.apple.com
In prior years, it would say "offer cannot be combined with educational pricing"
Really? Fair enough.
This makes it sound like you can opt for a discount to the same value instead of the card, unless i'm missing something
Don't think that was an option previously
This is a great way to pay for Apple One or any other Apple subscriptions.
Thanks, I'll be picking up five of these to pay for that during the year and give my wife the Target cards for shopping!

These annual Black Friday gift card offers never include the education store. You have to order off the regular store. You won't be able to combine the education discount and get this gift card. The only time you can double dip in education is the annual back to school promo.
Apple released the M1 13" MacBook Pro, M1 MacBook Air, and M1 Mac mini on Nov. 10, 2020 and they were eligible for (a $50) Apple gift card during Apple's 2020 Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale.
This year Apple is giving $0.
Like I said, stingy.
I just confirmed through a call to Apple that the gift card promotion does not apply to purchases made from the Apple Store for Education.
I've bought as many as 10 in store at Target when the promo runs in store. Is it online only?
Just remember you can only redeem up to 8 at the Online Store at Apple so more than that needs to be done in store or from an Apple ID account, IIRC.

Do third-party Apple sellers sell any Macs with more RAM than the base configuration? I have never seen that, but I may be wrong.
