Hi everybody, I really want to buy a macbook pro with the back to school promotion. I graduated from high school, and I've applied to college. But I haven't received an acceptance letter yet. I'm looking at buying online as well.
Thanks in advance.

Usually you don't need identification.

They do random checks - not sure in the US though, but in the UK they do.
 
But do you think buying a mac with this promotion would get me in trouble if I'm caught? I'm going to be a student, I'm just waiting on the school. Or would it be best to wait for the acceptance letter?
 
When I used my education discount... I needed to provide my school I.D or be able to login into my school website account. I didn't have my school I.D. with me so I signed into my school site and showed them my schedule and so forth. So I think that you'd have to wait and get an I.D. from the school you have been accepted to.

no you wouldnt get in trouble , apple rarely checks for online purchase
 
How are they supposed to check if you order online? Without your SSN all they have is your name? Thats pointless since if your name is like Sarah Brown then theres probably like 20 people at the school named that.
 
They don't check online orders. Period.

(They may check your ID if you buy at an Apple store or authorized reseller. Best Buy makes you log into your school's website before they match Apple's edu pricing.)


Unless you have moral resignations on the basis that you don't technically qualify, go for it. You'll qualify in a week or two. We won't tell.
