Education Discount

[ohheyitskeil]

I'm looking to purchase my first mac this weekend at my local Apple Store. I was wondering if I could use education pricing there or if I could only do that online.

If they do, all I need is my ID card, right?

Correct - take your student ID and yes you can get educational pricing at the Apple Store.

Can you be a student in high school?

Depending on your level of education (at Establishments negotiated rates) you will get a discount, even if is the basic amount.

If you wish to qualify for the edu discount in U.S, you need to be currently attending a U.S college (regardless of your citizenship). So, if you were a German citizen attending a U.S college, that would work. Otherwise, you can't qualify for edu. I had a brazilian professor ask me for edu discount, when i worked at apple retail, and we couldn't offer it to him because he isn't affiliated with any U.S college.

thats bad


generall is there a list of companys who offers discounts in apple store?

It's all dependent on who you talk to....

If your German uni ends in .edu you'll prob not have trouble.

If it is edu.de. It might work but it depends on the salesperson.

And most of them don't know what de stands for bc they are dumb.

Tell them you talked to apple on the phone and they assured you that you would get the discount

In the UK, will the NUS Extra Card be enough to prove student ID?

As long as it's valid it should be ok.

If you're going to buy in Mexico, you can do it online from Apple web page, choosing "store para la educación". And have it shipped for free wherever you are in Mexico. The discounts apply. However they are not as high as in US. It is still cheaper, though, than in Germany or elsewhere in western Europe.

generally, no. The "Find Your School" is for teachers getting the discount.

You could always sign up for an International Student Identity Card (ISCC) and you can pretty much get the student discount anywhere in the world.

I am a Canadian but studying in the UK at the moment and have used this card for discounts at the Apple Store. I could def use my student ID from my uni but have pulled out my ISIC card for some reason.

MacBook Sale $799

The current white MacBook is on sale at Microcenter for $799

Much cheaper than the $949 student discount.

MacBook 13.3" MC516LL/A Laptop Computer

* 2GB DDR3-1066 SDRAM
* 250GB 5,400RPM Hard Drive

This might mean there will be updates next week but I'm not sure what they would update the MacBook specs to... unless they also update the MacBook Pro
