They usually offer back to school promos at some time in January which has been free AirPods for the past few years. They have a discount of 10% for students all throughout the year but for back to school they add on a pair of free AirPods.

Last year it was January 18th that the promo started and it was free AirPods and you could choose to upgrade it to pros for additional cost.

Thank you so much for this. Do you know how long this promotion will run for?

What the actual fuck.... I bought an ipad on student discount like 2 days back...

got several edu account dm me for more info.

I’m pretty sure it lasts until September.

They don’t give out AirPods anymore, at least not for the past 2 years. Now, you get a $150 USD Apple Store gift card/credit as well as 20% off apple care only if you purchase it at the same time you buy the MacBook. The gift card can be used on all apple stuff like in the App Store or towards anything u wanna buy online from apple (and probably at a physical Apple Store too), u can even use it to buy apple care. I still have my gift card sitting in my apple account from last year funding my iCloud and music subscription. But I could also use it to buy a case or towards another device or whatever….

These are two separate things. the education discounts (your title) are all year round, whereas the bundle offers are during the back to school season. Not sure what the offer is for this year but you should definitely be able to catch it in August

No, it isn’t illegal at all. Your friend is just buying it and then selling it to you. It is not illegal to sell a MacBook that you got at a student discount to someone that isn’t a student.

And yes, Apple has already factored this in with their pricing.

We went into the Apple store to buy my wife a new iMac. They didn’t have the one she wanted in stock so the rep told us to order it online. We are both very obviously not students.

The rep told us to make sure we use the student site to get a discount and the free airpods.

No evidence was ever provided and the discounts and airpods were both received

This is totally ethical. The discount is microscopic because they don't care if you're actually a student, they just want to say they have student discounts.

As a 40year old, they don't believe me

theu asked my dad what company he was working for just say like shell or some orger big one and you get like 20% off

If you work for a large company, you can also check to see if that company has a discount. I got 10% off and no tax because my company had an account.

that is fraud, isn't it?

Rn they have a discount na 25% on select product so make sure you ask for that instead of the student one kasi afaik, 10% lang pag student discount

Alam ko before may discount ata sa switch (when it was still inside sda) and the loop (I don't know if it's still there sa 12th floor) pero just recently, I tried asking about it sa switch in another branch, di sila familiar sa discount. They weren't even aware of the school itself.

Alumnus here. Nabasa ko sa alumni card ko na may discount sa switch among other brands pero yun nga yung naencounter ko.

Yes, we do. Just mention it when you buy an apple product (tho, they might ask for proof that you study in benilde) and it's only limited to some apple products. Also, there used to be a store inside SDA (12th flr, besides caf) but idk if it's open since I haven't been inside campus for a while

They reserve the right to do so

no

Nope, they don’t ask when you receive it either.

For people who are still interested in this question, the short answer is yes.

To be more specific, the device you want to purchase the AppleCare + for should be directly bought from Apple with student discount.

I just headed to an Apple Store early today. One specialist scanned the serial number of my new MBA with their sales device. The AppleCare+ with the student discount option was automatically shown on the screen. And sales device also recognize my gift card without any problems.

So the Apple‘s system definitely accepts this operation. And they have no reasons to stop you to do so. Because the customers always have the option to return their device and purchase again, which will bring additional cost to Apple. But they may somehow hide it so that some online specialists don't know how to make it happen.

Therefore, the safer way is heading to a local Apple Store and purchase the service asap after you received your student discount device.

Finally, I directly quote the footnote about the AppleCare+ student discount on Apple's online education store webpage below.

>The promotional Apple Education Pricing on AppleCare+ is available for eligible products purchased during the promotional period only. Apple offers Education Pricing on AppleCare+ at different rates from this promotional rate throughout the year on certain products if purchased within 60 days of your Apple Product; eligible products may vary outside of the promotional period.

>Apple Education Pricing is available to current and newly accepted university students and their parents, as well as teachers and staff at all levels. Quantity limits apply.

Just chiming in with my experience - I was able to add Apple Care with the education discount after purchase, but Apple Support told me no, an Apple Store associate told me know, but she said she would ask someone else to make sure, and he said yes. So if you are in this situation, be persistent!

Bit of a necro post But got applecare put on my MacBook pro, was 4 months after purchase so had to go into apple to get it screened for apple care and then the sales representative scanned the serial number and checked student ID. 3 years apple care £219

Edit to add: the MacBook was not purchased through apple education store either. I purchased it from Currys

Yes you can buy it after purchase. I think it’s within the first 30 or 60 days though.

Ya only during purchase but get the monthly and then it lasts longer since it goes till you cancel.
