can i get discound at the store with just student i.d?

[lewisp]

Hi i have a student id, but because ive never been abroad i dont have a passport, and i dont have any other photo i.d.

im thinking about going into medowhall tomorrow i was just wondering if they would accept just my student i.d in order for me to get discount on a macbook pro.

any help would be greatly appriciated

I have shown just my N.U.S (Student Membership) card before and managed to get student discount.

Failing that use the online Apple Education store for you college.

Can't tell if you're a UK or USA student.

If you're UK I had hassle when showing my student ID, they claimed I could've easily forged it and I needed more proof, I think they needed my course code and uni code. Which unlike a 'forged' Uni ID, can be easily got off the internet... Hypocrites

cheers for the help people,

yeah im british

its not exactly a student id well it is,

its the card i take to gain entry into my exams, and also the card i use for the library, there is no photo but some people have a photo, my card has a box where the photo should be but no photo. Will i have trouble? and what esle could i use or easily get a hold of?

if this fails my gf has a passport but she doesnt have a student id card, is there anything she can use from school other than a student id card?

I would say that would work. Its worth a try

cheers would you say its worth upgrading to 8gb ram for 300 extra ?

 

[stridemat]

It depends on what you are going to use the machine for. It could be more beneficial to invest in an SSD.

 

[Schtumple]

Unless you need lot's of storage space you should go for the SSD. But if you'd prefer bolstered performance when using high powered applications, the extra RAM should be yours.

I bought my MBP in store and got the discount without showing any ID or proof. Just call me a BAMF.

 

[thejadedmonkey]

I was told that you could only get the edu discount online and they refused to give me the discount, even with a valid ID (USA).

I think put the money into SSD 4GB memory is more than you need

school id, school email/login, transcripts, letters etc. or u can go the easy route and buy it online. so easy to get a student discount through the apple.com site.
