Free £70 gift card

[Will-R-W]

Hey there,

So I just ordered my Macbook pro from the education store last weekend, and the first thing to arrive has been the "free" gift card. I say "free" because a quick look at my online bank statement reveals I've been charged for it. Should I be concerned, or is it some sort of rebate thing that I'm not aware of?

Thanks for any help.

It's free. Not sure where you bought your device but here's the info for UK:

That's normal. The £70 is deducted from the price of the device when it's billed.

Thank you! I only just noticed that this morning. They really should warn people about that.

I wasnt billed £70 when I purchased my MBA?!
I was just billed the total for the laptop, and the £70 came in the same box as the unit.
