Oh geez. I think I made an educational discount mistake. I searched but did not find an answer and don't want to start
another new thread on discounts drawing attention to my very real error.
I purchased a MBP last week; the school my kids attend (catholic k-12) was on the list and when it came up, the option was to "purchase for yourself." So I did.
I am a very involved volunteer at the school and have been asked to help with yearbook, website, print material etc because it is a small school & I have an art background. My current computer buckled under the photoshop load and I had been waiting for the new MBPs to come out and felt this was a perfect scenario. I wasn't even aware of the edu disc until another parent informed me, but alas I did not read the fine details....I selfishly "purchased for myself"!
Yesterday I began looking for Adobe software and called the 800-my-apple regarding the edu discounts and the rep read me the fine details regarding verification for the Adobe....and then casually mentioned the Apple edu disc details and my heart sank....I am not "faculty" at the k-12 school! I am a volunteer and I am on a "board" but not the PTA or PTO. I did not put it together until I hung up the phone and took the time to read the fine print.
So, I am in a dilemma and the "catholic guilt" is setting in.
How long after purchase does Apple call/email to get verification?
I want to make this right. I do not want to "abuse the system" and ruin it for anyone else---I have read so many of your posts on this topic.
I am thisclose to picking up the phone and coming clean. I need to check the status to see if the computer has even been shipped! I guess if it has then they can just charge the card for the difference? Please don't flame me--I understand it was my responsibility to read the details and I did not. I am a parent and should know better!
