Just curious... has anyone ever bought the ADC program from Apple in the US, then used it to buy a computer in another country? Or is the ADC program you buy specifically locked to the country that you bought it from?
Got a tip for us?

Cool... can anyone else confirm this? Reason being I'm currently staying in Singapore and I was about to buy ADC from the US store to buy a MBP here in Singapore.
If anyone has ever done this I would really appreciate feedback

Where to buy the Singapore membership:

The first link in the "ordering information" section takes you to the actual store.

Thanks for the links
The thing is... I go to a US school (on an exchange program) and I want to buy it from the US store to use in Singapore. It's also cheaper on the US store.
Is this possible?

Student memberships need confirmation (fax a photo ID and current registration at a university) and yes, you get a discount right away once you verify. That is what I did, and got my MBP for EDIT: $200 less than the educational store price ($300 less on the ADC site, but paid $99 for the membership)
Oh, I see.. that you may want to call Apple about. They were a little picky about how I used it when I ordered. For example, even to check order status there was a special ADC store number I had to call, the people on the normal customer line saw it was an ADC purchase and forwarded me. Not sure if they are picky about which country the membership and products are bought in but I suspect they will be.
Just curious, what is the exchange rate? Maybe it's cheaper to buy both the membership and MBP in the US store and have it shipped to you?

Holy crap, I hadn't known about this The MBP + ADC is still 200SGD cheaper than the student price for MBP
VPost? I'm thinking about ordering the 15" MBP. Could consolidate at one VPost address. Only thing is, is Apple's warranty international?
The MBP + ADC is still 200SGD cheaper than the student price for MBP I could... but shipping + taxes would probably make it not worth it

1 hardware purchase. Why is that odd? If it wasn't controlled that way you could just sign up once every year and buy something at ADC price and sell it to people who don't have ADC access...
