Just a heads up. I ordered a BTO 11" MBA on Monday and was charged $100 for the "free" educational gift card promotion. It took two calls to Apple to sort it out. The first time they claimed that the $100 was taken off the subtotal for the computer, I didn't have the numbers in front of me so I accepted this. I then went to the online store and configured the MBA on both the normal and edu store and it turns out that I was indeed charged $100 for the card. The second call to Apple resulted in them making the same argument, after pointing out that the normal price was $1649, the edu price before putting it in the cart was $1544, and if the $100 was already taken off, that meant that the edu discount was only $5. The CSR finally agreed, and escalated it to a "high level manager" and after 10 minutes on hold was told that I shouldn't have been charged and will be credited the $100.
I'm sure it was just a software error with the store but please check your invoice! I can't be the only one.
