Powerbook & iPod Education Special

I would call the Apple Store and see what they say. The offers were able to be coupled last year.

Thanks, I'll try that inless I see something about it on the board. If you remember from last year, how did you go about providing 2 UPC codes for each offer? They seem very insistent that there be no photocopies or anything. Maybe the two rebates can be sent in together, that's the only thing I can think of. :confused:
 
530 savings?

I might be missing something here, but why does the link on the apple.com edu homepage say "save up to $530 on an iPod and Apple laptop"? :confused: This is written in the text under Apple Promotions. Just curious.

p.s. thanks for the tip carletonmusic, I held off for a bit just in case you were right!!!

My theory, $200 on PB edu discount, $30 on iPod edu discount, $200 rebate. That gets to $430, the last $100 is the question, possibly the printer rebate? or the $100 iBook discount if you buy both?
 
you get 300 dollars off the pb 17'' with the edu discount, plus 30 dollars of the ipod with the edu discount, and finallly you get 200 dollars if you buy the pb and the ipod. i think that adds up right...

I was wondering why this isn't a new NEWS item on Macrumors!! Much of the readerbase is in the EDU market - why hasn't this story been posted yet?? :confused:

BTW, Chip? Nice attention to details. I totally skimmed past the fine print where it says valid till 9/25, and what that portends for future product announcements.

LOL, thanks. Chalk it up to my living in the DC area. It is always about the details here :(

Can anyone answer this question? I would love to take advantage of both offers-a free printer and a $69 iPod-that's awesome!

Two rules that affect the purchase of a printer also:

This offer is not valid with the purchase of Apple education promotional bundles, used equipment, or refurbished equipment.
Click to expand...

Apple education promotional bundle pricing, education institution pricing, and other education promotional offers supersede this offer. • This offer is not valid in conjunction with any other Apple promotion except as specifically permitted by the terms and conditions of such other offer or promotion.

So unless the rebate rules on the printer forbids it, you should be OK.
 
Well, I had mentioned earlier in the thread that I wasn't going to wait to purchase my computer based on Carleton's hints... So I didn't... I bought myself a new PowerBook *last night* and this promotion started today. Well, thankfullly the helpful folks at the Apple Store, at Mayfair will "modify" my reciept to make me eligible for this promo. Woo Hoo! a $70 iPod!

It seems there is a fair degree of flexibility at the physical Apple stores...I guess the people who ordered yesterday via the online store are out of luck! :(
 
No iPod + PB deal in Canada

Does anybody know if the iPod and PB deal is going to happen in Canada? I can't find any info on the Apple Canada site, and the coupon on the US site is of course only for US purchases. I'm kind of surprised: other than the long-awaited-never-quite-here iTunes, Apple Canada is usually in line with Apple US (except that we can't get Apple Refurbished online here - very irritating... )

For some reason, that makes sense... but I dont' know why.

I'm really looking forward to casing in on this promotion. I have to get up there within the 14-day "return period". Then, they will enter into the computer that I "returned" and unopened computer and that I bought a new one and an iPod on the same reciept. But I don't actually have to return my machine, or even bring it to the store. They were very concientious about it... as I was probably the last person to buy a computer from the store before they closed and the new Promo took effect.

I just got off the phone with apple.
They are not sure whether the deal will be available in Canada.
They said that last year's deal was not in fact available in Canada.
Sucks huh.

OTOH if the Dalhousie already has it in store it might be available through your bookstrore on a per university basis.
 
I just called Apple rebates (1-888-828-9059) to see if it is possible to get both the "Great Looking Deal" HP printer rebate and the "Cram and Jam" rebate and their answer was yes!

The woman I spoke to said that all you have to do is send in a photocopy of the UPC codes to one of the rebate addresses and the originals to the other. In the envelope with the photocopied UPC's be sure to include a note saying that the originals are in with the other rebate form. It sounded like they all end up in the same place eventually.

She also took my name when I called so maybe they keep track of this kind of thing. Hope this helps someone!

Excellent!! I would add that it might be helpful to make photocopies of the receipts showing both purchases - along with the note about the UPC code.

That sucks.
 
i can always buy a printer...

new PB/ipod enroute :) thanks for the info on the promo...
 
In Canada!

Hey... thanks for the tips that the iPod + PB is available in Canada! Now here's a more specific question... do I have to buy it from a reseller? I actually work at a university - does anybody know if I can go through my purchasing department (like buying any other office equipment) and still get this great deal, or do I have to go into my campus computer store and buy as if it was a normal personal purchase?
