Apple customers looking to purchase AirPods or an Apple Watch Nike+ have some offers available to consider this weekend. Apple is also running a "Back to School with Apple Pay" promotion on the App Store in the United States.

In the United States, Verizon is offering a free $50 Visa prepaid card to customers that purchase $200 or more in accessories, before taxes and after any discounts. Accessories must be purchased on the same receipt. The promotion is available until the end of today, Saturday, August 5.

The deal can be put towards two sets of AirPods, which cost $319.94 together. The rebate effectively lowers the price to $269.94, or $134.97 per pair.

After purchasing the AirPods, customers must fill out Verizon's online rebate form, and have their purchase receipt and all product barcode labels ready to upload. The form must be submitted within 30 days of purchase. Verizon says the Visa prepaid card will be delivered within four weeks.

MacRumors also received a tip about some Nike+ Run Club members receiving an offer for 30% off any Apple Watch Nike+ model this weekend. The discount is applied at checkout and expires on Monday, August 7 at 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time.

iPhone users with the Nike+ Run Club app installed in the United States can check their inbox, by tapping the tray icon in the bottom menu, to see if they qualify for the offer. Some users on Reddit and Slickdeals also report being presented with the discount, but it doesn't appear to be available for everyone.

The deal lowers Apple Watch Nike+ prices to $258.30 for 38mm models, and $279.30 for 42mm models, down from $369 and $399 respectively.

Rebates are so consumer unfriendly. Verizon is banking on the fact that over half of their customers will lose the form, forget to fill it out, lose the receipt, or otherwise fail to jump through one of the necessary hoops.

No to rebate. I want instant rebate not mail in ones.
 
Checked my Nike app no offer, checked my wife's who logs multiple runs a week with the Nike app and no offer. I wonder what criteria Nike is using to extend the offer because I would have upgraded even knowing series 3 is on the horizon.

Interesting, I have not yet used the Run App, but I got the offer, but I do buy a bunch of shoes on their app and site...
 
I got the watch offer from Nike. That's a good deal but I'm not sure it's worth upgrading my original watch to the series two with the series three on the way.

Same boat...and my S0 still works just fine.

Also it makes sense for frequent S2/Nike+ AW sales now...especially with S3 on the horizon.

$279 for a 42mm series 2 Nike Watch is hot.

Nothing in my tray...but I'm not in the US.

Coupon was in my app, I ordered as my microphone quit working on my original Apple Watch I got at 1st launch. Apple told me $200 to fix it, so screw that $80 more for a series 2 Nike. I don't care about a 3 and not interested in paying AT&T another data plan for another device. E-mail today says watch will be delivered tomorrow.
 
I think this a good indication of what Series 2 watches will be roughly be priced at, once Series 3 is launched.
Likely more like $299.
