What a challenging scenario this was. I thought for sure that this attach/SKU was dead but I figured I'd invest some time to confirm because the Internet has no proof this is still a thing. Anything I found out there referenced M1/M3 MacBook Pros but nothing recently except $14.99 a month or $149.99 a year.
After over an hour talking to 3 different Apple Reps, I finally purchased it this morning for $399 which works out to $11 a month. AppleCard purchase so I got $11 back (3%) so first month was effectively free. You have to call up and ask for the Fixed Term Plan of $399. They don't know how long it is. 2 of the reps assumed it was only for 2-years which obviously is wrong because 2 annual plans would be just $299.98.
I persisted and now I have a 3-year plan on my MacBook Pro. I can't confirm this but on my M1 Max, when the 3-year expired, Apple's System Settings gave me the option to extend it for 1 year for $149.99 and it renewed again for another year so you could extend it annually after your 3-year plan expires.
I put together a blog post with link to terms, pricing and more but it's just my personal blog (no ads, no spam) but you don't have to read it, just call them and they can attach it...just prepare to spend time on the phone waiting - https://adamchandler.me/blog/2026/0...ecare-for-your-new-macbook-or-macbook-pro-m5/
I'm only posting this here and on Reddit so hopefully a future version of me who is frantically googling for how in the heck you do this can get some help and Know that YES at least for the M5 generation, you can still attach a 3-year plan and it's cheaper than annual.
