So my brother just got a new MacBook and did the Mac + iPod Touch promo. The thing is, for all the mac orders in my house, we use my Apple ID. Now I'm going to be buying an iMac in the next few weeks and I'm not sure if I can still do the promo. Looking on Apple's Promo FAQ, I found this:
If I buy more than one pair of qualifying products on the same receipt or Sales Order, do I need to submit multiple rebate claims?
That is not necessary. You should claim all qualifying pairs of products at the same time. Check the Terms and Conditions of the rebate for the exact number of products allowed. You must include the required documents, including original UPC labels, as specified from each qualifying product.

But looking at the Terms and Conditions of the Back-To-School Promo I don't find any mention if you can do this promo more than once or not. Does anybody know whether or not I'll be able to do it?
 
I'm pretty sure you can only "purchase" one computer per year with the student discount but I might be wrong.

Actually, you can purchase one laptop, one desktop, and one Mac Mini per school year with your student discount. Also the "school year" is July 1-June 30 (My brother ordered mid-June). Also, my brother and I are both in college so we have separate student discounts. The only thing is that it's the same Apple ID for the Rebate.
 
have your bro sign up for his own apple ID and do 1 rebate per apple ID (and 1 per student ID linkage). then you dont have to worry.
 
i gotta second the thought.. just create a second apple id.. solves the problem..

That's pretty cool, wish I had known that while I was in school, I guess I'll have to use my little brother now for my next computer:D
