Back to School GC + Employee Discount

I'm looking to purchase a MBA (13" 256gb, 8gb) and I'm trying to use my employee discount and get the back to school gift card (I'm working and going to grad school). The education discount takes a flat $50 off all airs and some money off the upgrades. My employee discount however takes a % off airs that comes out better than the education discount.

For the air I'm looking at w/ upgraded RAM, it is about $1539 after the education discount. It's about $1503 with my employee discount.

When going through the education store, you get the screen for the free back to school $100 gift card. Going through the store with my employee discount active however does not have this screen, and I can't see any way to add it. I would like to use my employee discount and get the $100 gift card, has anyone else been able to do this, or know if you can?

 

Figured as much, guess I'll bite the $36 bullet

 

Yeah I'm going to try calling before. I will likely be waiting until July (Discover gives bonus cashback during your birthday month) but I will update the thread with my results then.
