I went with the Barclay Credit card option that is listed on the Apple Store buying page. It will allow you to pay it off within 18 months with no credit charge!. I have used it before. If you blow it and go past the 18 months you get hammered, but if you pay attention, it kind of takes the sting out of coming up with $1300+++.

Seriously? The sting of coming up with only $1300? Clearly you can't afford this thing if you don't have $1300 laying around. It's called earning before spending. Not to turn this into a economics/finance class but if you are looking for points you can just use a charge card instead of a credit card. If you are in college you should be more concerned about reducing your student debt rather than spending money you don't have.
