You can also get i think it was $200 off for your spouse if he/she is enrolled with your atena insurance. Prices for a series 3 38mm gps only starts at $25 and $50 for the 44mm plus tax at msrp. My final price was $80 for me and about $110 for the second watch both for the gps only series 3 44mm.

If you didn't get the email, contact aetna or goto aetnas springboard marketplace site and register. Limited time and quantity on the deal.

Dear Aetna Member,

We are so excited to have you back for another year! Together with Apple® we are bringing the ease of healthy living right to your wrist. You've got this! If you enrolled in a medical plan & didn't purchase your device last year, you may be able to get an Apple Watch through your employer's Aetna health plan for as low as $25 plus tax. And, if your spouse is also enrolled in your medical plan, they can get an Apple Watch for as low as $50 plus tax.

Here is how to get your Apple Watch:

1) Login to SpringboardMarketplace.com or create an account if you haven't previously accessed (see information below)

2) Click the "Shop Now" button on the landing page

3) Select the device of your choice

4) Pay for the remaining balance and tell us where to ship it

5) After you purchase your Apple Watch, an additional 'Shop Now' offer will appear for your spouse/partner to purchase their watch (if eligible)

6) Once purchased, you will receive a confirmation email & tracking information when your watches have shipped

It's that simple but hurry: Your panel will open 45 days before your effective date and remain open for 90 days. If you don't purchase within that timeframe you will have to wait to use your Apple Watch subsidy until your next renewal!

Note: If the Apple Watch banner doesn't appear on your Springboard Marketplace home page, you may not be eligible for the Apple Watch.

Short-term you get a free watch long term insurance Jack's up the rates as not employees are getting enough exercise. It doesn't seem like free, you pay for it over time much more.

Really.. No one is going to switch to Aetna for this deal. Its just a YMMV deal shared by the Op might be applicable for a few who are already with Aetna and eligible.

Is your company less than 25 employees? That's the only way you can have that particular plan the aetna funding advantage plan that qualifies you for this discount. Most members probably have standard ppo plans. Thanks anyways

Mine came up with the same error at first but it was because for some reason they had my work's zipcode as my home zipcode. When i typed the work Zip in, it worked.

I called, I know not to call for limited items but I can play dumb, and was basically told this was for a specific class of plans AND primarily employers with a 100 or less employees. Got third degree on how I got website and phone. And I'm an Aetna Plan person....

This is for anyone having trouble registering or logging in on Springboard Marketplace. The thing is that you are probably already registered and have never logged on. I work for a company with ~45 employees.
  1. Identify which email address you use for health insurance.
  2. Look through your inbox, spam, and other folders for a message from [email protected].
  3. One of those messages will have your user name. It's probably your first initial, followed by your last name, followed by a random number
  4. The same message will tell you that your password is your birthday in MMDDYYYY format
  5. Use these credentials to login for the first time and change your password.
Other info:
  • You will qualify a $224 to $254 discount/subsidy off of MSRP on any Apple Watch Series 3 or Series 4 available.
  • It looks like the only unavailable ones are the Series 4 Hermes editions. All of the standard and Nike+ models appear to be available.
  • If you have multiple people covered on your insurance plan, you will qualify for a $199 to $229 discount/subsidy on a second watch.
