You will get rebates for both of them, as long as you are a student.
 
But what this mean?:confused:
I'm a student in CT.
"Residents of Rhode Island and Connecticut who purchase in their state of residence receive an instant rebate and are not eligible for any additional rebate; additional Terms and Conditions apply. "

Drive to NH if your close enough. No tax there either.
 
one more question, does anyone know if it is a cas rebate or store credit?
 
If you live in Connecticut or RI you don't have to deal with a rebate. Apple charges you the price for the free items but you get an instant rebate so that they are only a penny or something. Laws there prohibit mail in rebates or something.
 
Mail in rebates are stupid anyway. They only serve to take advantage of the more forgetful customers.

I think it means that your state has a law that says there cannot be a mail-in rebate.

i think they just refund you the price on the spot so you don't have to mail anything in
 
just to explain further, mine was meant to take about 6-8 weeks to go into my bank account. no instant rebate there

but in fact when i mailed it in to apple thet had 'rejected' my mail. i was very lucky for someone from Royal Mail (similar to The Postal Service in the US?) to actually open the mail, get my address and send it back. i then had it send it off again with everything to prove i had actually sent it in within the 30 days, as it was now out of the 30 day window.

so, I can not buy a printer at the same time and get the printer's rebate? maybe that's why they said "not eligible for any additional rebate":eek:

yeah, it's seems there Laws here:
"Connecticut has two laws concerning manufacturer mail-in rebates. The first makes it an unfair or deceptive trade practice to advertise the availability of a manufacturer’s rebate by displaying the net price of the item unless the retailer provides the amount of the rebate to the consumer at the time of the sale.........":rolleyes:

Thanks

But what if I'm not a resident of CT but I make a purchase there...
