I placed my order the day BTS was announced, got my computer a week ago but still haven't received the gift card in the mail. It shipped 10 days ago. 🙁
Got a tip for us?

When does the Back to School promo usually start each year?

Still haven't, ordered on the 28th and received (BTO Air) on the 2nd. Believe I called for it on the 3rd or 4th and still haven't gotten it.
I know they said it would be within 3 weeks on the phone, so I have another week or so left. I just figured it would have been here already seeing other people who called in had already received their's.
That's what I thought too, but whatever its only been 10 days max. Still have another 11, it'll come.

Does anyone know when this typically ends?
I want to get a 15" rMBP, but if possible take advantage of BTS and tax free weekend in August...

It's been 2 weeks and 1 day since I called. Betcha I'm gonna have to call them in 6 days.
Ordered custom macbook air on Thursday, received back to school gift card on Saturday and computer on Tuesday.
Crossposting from thread I made.
I have to brag on Apple CS for a minute. I ordered my 2013 13" Air on the 24th of June. The Back To School promo started the 2nd of July. I called them today, and was told by the wonderful lady who helped me that they, unfortunately, could not hook me up with a gift card. After a short talk with her supervisor, she offered me a coupon on a future order, then asked if I needed any accessories for my new Mac. I told her that I could do with an HDMI adapter or Magic Mouse. She happily sent me both of them, and they'll be here Monday/Tuesday.
I didn't realize that the original promo was for App store stuff. I feel like I really, really lucked out on this one. $105 worth of actual items, not crappy apps. 🙂

What's aoc?
I ordered on their store and picked up and my local Apple Store. Didn't ask for proof or anything.
The guy was actually really nice and just asked me if I was using it for college/if it was my first Mac.
So you got yours with about a week to go on the 3 week period? I've got 3 days left and still nothing 😛
aoc = apple on campus. They allow you to save even more money than apple edu. In the end when i sell the 80 Euro itunes card for 70 Euros i saved nearly 300 euros over the normal store price on the air
FINALLY got my giftcard today 🙂 And I ordered about 5 minutes before the WWDC keynote finished hehe xD
