So I broke down and purchased an 64GB Air 2 on Amazon. With a 75 dollar gift card it brought the total down to $460. So the price was $540 before the gift card was applied. It's funny how the prices fluctuate on Amazon.
Got a tip for us?

Save yourself even more money by buying used.
Lightly used, same great taste!

Where could I get a used 64GB iPad Air 2 for $460?? Nowhere. And the only "used" iPad I would buy would be a refurb from Apple. Used on Craigslist or eBay... forget it.
$60 discount isn't great but isn't bad. The iPad Air 2 was $100 off all models as early as the first Black Friday after launch.
Thank you! Staples had them for $50 off last week, was tempted but held off. I just finished ordering a 128GB Space Gray Air 2 for $599. Great price. Thanks again for the head's up!
I really don't think we will see anything better than the current $100 discounts, especially with no Air 3 being released. I still can't decide between the Air 2 and the new iPad pro though.
Wow, my deal is still better. That makes me happy. However, I am going to kick myself hard IF an Air 3 comes out before the year is out.
Right on Amazon ($440). You could have used the gift card, too.
You keep saying "your deal" was better. But you act like that $75 isn't actually money. So, no, a $540 64gb isn't really a "deal". They are on sale at Target right now for $524. If you use your redcard it brings it down to $500 even. That is kind of a deal, but still not the best one I have seen.
Yeah - it was "my deal" because I had a gift card that took down the sale price to $460. Do you have a link to the $440 64GB iPad Air 2 on Amazon?

Technically you could've used $75 to buy a Staples gift card from Amazon, and then get the cheaper price from Staples.

Then add your state's tax (California is plus an additional $50) and you're right back up at regular price. I just received one off of eBay for $515, no tax, last week. Of course then you need to be careful who you're buying from.
If you really want to save money and have a Discover card, starting tomorrow you can add Discover card to Apple Pay and use Apple Pay at Staples (in store only) to get additional 10% Discover cash back. For those who signed up for double cash back, you'll end up getting 20% cash back.
Why? Maybe because some people think that the difference in price between used and new doesn't make the used one worth the price.
It's on sale at Staples for $150 off now.
