From what I’ve seen last year apple had a promotion on top of educational pricing where you got a $100 apple store gift card with the purchase of a mac. Will this still happen, and when did it start running last year?
It usually starts in Aug.
Last year the promotion was from July 1 through September 9: https://www.apple.com/promo/pdf/BTS_2014_Terms_Conditions_US.pdf?aid=WWW-AMRUS-com-BTS14-aos_tandc
The year before that, it was July 2 through September 6: https://www.apple.com/promo/pdf/BTS_2013_Terms_Conditions_US.pdf
In 2012, it was June 11 through September 21: http://www.apple.com/promo/pdf/BTS_2012_Terms_Conditions_US.pdf
So honestly, it’s a bit odd that it hasn’t begun yet.
@juliet thank you, at one point I was going a bit crazy because I was sure that it usually had started by now. I am trying to patiently wait to buy a laptop. When I called Apple both in store and their general line they said they don’t know and only find out when the promo actually starts. I wonder if they are thinking of doing something else… I’m honestly clueless and a little annoyed.
