No Summer Promotion?

[Lady Arwen]

I got a MacBook four years ago. I got the education pricing and a free iPod.

Wrong.

If you get educational pricing on your computer, you are NOT eligible for the promotion. If you don't get education pricing on the computer, you ARE eligible.

no, YOU'RE wrong.

Edu pricing has ALWAYS been eligible for the promotion, i have done it several times.

Also, how could Apple justify having "educational pricing" for students, AND a "back to school" promotion, and not let students take advantage of them? It wouldn't make sense, and they don't do it that way.

The whole point of the promotion is to get education pricing for your Mac + a free iPod (base iPod Touch price applied) and printer ($100 towards a printer).

I got it 5 years ago and I'm just waiting for Apple to announce it so I can pull the trigger on a new 13" MBP... I wish it would happen already

When did it start last year?

Do we know when the BTS promo started last year?

I saw a rumor that maybe iPads would be included in the $200 rebate? Any basis for that? That'd be great.

Just for general reference, Apple's rebate is paid back quickly. Best rebate program I ever used.

BTS started:

2010: Tuesday, May 25th
2009: Wednesday, May 27th
2008: Tuesday, June 3rd
2007: Monday, June 4th + New MBPs released on same day

So Apple may indeed be waiting until the rumored June 14th and release new MBA's/MB's on the same day, so as not to replace models during the promotion... just a guess!

Wow thanks for the comprehensive insight!
