i believe the promo is only done through retail but im not 100% on that. you can get the education discount online anytime but im not sure about the gift card ordering online.

the promo is only for a computer you buy and you must show your college acceptance letter to be eligible. when you show your letter you get the education discount and this year will be a 100 dollar itunes gift card. of course if you are a teacher or professor i believe you just have to show proof of that and you get the discount.

you can configure your machine anyway you like and still get the promo.

it is available until sept 20 as of the rumor.

You can take advantage of the promotion by buying from a Retail Store, the Online Store, or a Campus Store.

The terms and conditions state...

Products must be purchased from the U.S. Apple Online Store for Education Individuals, from a U.S. Apple Retail Store, by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE, or from an Apple Authorized Campus Store on the list at www.apple.com/promo/bts/participants.html.

the promo is only for a computer you buy and you must show your college acceptance letter to be eligible.

Or just a school ID from any of the qualifying institutions (find your school and shop) will work equally fine.

However if you order from the online store. Apple doesn't really have a way to verify you are a student. Oppose to in-store, the rep may ask to see your student ID or other verification.
