These iMac prices are not all that great, given that it’s the previous generation. I’d actually expect those prices or even lower as just the standard price given that these are two year old machines that have been replaced.
 
eBay is once again taking PayPal Credit for the iTunes giftcards, with a limit of 3 per person.

Costco sells them at 20% off and 5 limit per member multiple times a year, not sure if this will change however it’s one of the best App Store & iTunes deals I have found.

Costco doesn't always offer 20% off and when they do it's usually only for the $200 card. Right now it's only 5% off at Costco. The current eBay promo is a pretty good deal.

The iTunes cards? Yeah, that never lasts long. When I start running low, I start peeking at the Costco prices. A few times a year, you can get between 17% and 20% off on a $200 card. They seem to offer that pretty reliably around the holidays.

Not sure about your area local warehouse, here it is cheaper in store $25x4 for 20% off multiple times a year special discount, routinely it is around 10%. Got to look for the specials.

Online it varies on the denomination, $25 gets the least while $200 the most, same thing here look for the specials.

Most of the time you get a better deal in the warehouse, however the difference is a few bucks compared to online.

Holidays, Back to School, usually 4 times a year. Will the frequency and percentage change, it is hard to say.

Good to know! I wasn't aware about the in-store specials. I only pick up my Costco iTunes credit online. I'll have to look for the in-store deals too.

I would have guessed about 4 times a year myself, but have no idea when or why they go on sale other than that it seems to reliably appear around the holidays. I just know that in the past when I started running low, I'd check online every few days and usually within a couple of months I'd find a deal.

In the past, their online deals over the holidays have been better though. I think last year every price tier was more generous by 2.5%. As you said, what they offer varies throughout the year.

The $25x4 at the warehouse make great stocking stuffers or secret Santa gifts ;)
