Couldn't get me to use it if they gave it away. I did have it when they gave it away. It was worthless then and it's not even that good now.

Just thought I would mention that I bought .Mac from Amazon for $79 and entered the code and it worked just as expected. Didn't have any problems and it says my account will renew in how ever many days it is.

How do I get my $30 off with new mac?

When I first fired up my new MBP a couple weeks ago, it asked if I wanted to signup for $30 off, but I said No at the time. Now, I'd like to sign up, but it wants to charge me the full $99. Any idea how I can get my discount?

Did you read the thread?
Go to the store and ask or buy off Amazon.com!

Unfortunately, my closest Apple Store is over an hour away. It's doable, but not optimal. I was hoping to get the $30 new Mac discount instead of the $20 Amazon.

Woops! I see now! Maybe I should follow my own advice.
Call the online folk and ask them. Im sure you have a good reason why you forgot to do it or got tied up, right? (hint hint)

I would call and say you were planning on signing up for $69 and now it won't let you. Then say oh well I guess I will have to pass at $99 and see what happens! At least thats what I would try, esp after "forgetting"

Also you have to excuse my ignorance. I live in the Bay Area (near SF) and don't realize that others dont have 4-5 apple stores within a 50 mile radius!

I don't care what .Mac costs. I'd get it if it cost ten times as much! You have to do your part you know! I mean if you really believe in Apple. Otherwise you can run a PC.

Thanks!

Thanks gang. I just ebayed the family version of .mac for $102. I was disappointed with the free trial (2 years ago), but am excited to start using the gallery! This thread was paramount in my decision making.

I agree. IMHO .Mac is worth every penny I've paid

I've never understood why one have to pay at all, Apple could offer it free instead and have lots of users and therefor advertisment for their computers and software products. And their users would see it as a special exclusive service.

Personally I will do anything I can to set up my own ".mac" with more or less unlimited storage and better bandwidth ;/
