Apple doesn't ask for any proof. Literally ANYONE can get the discount. The fine print, if I recall, even says parents can buy for themselves.

Load up Apple account balance using Apple gift cards from Target at close to 14% discount and wait for Tax free weekends

Does anyone know the date this deal ends? I couldn't find it in the fine print. Debating on holding out for more info on the new MacBook Pro. I think last year it went til October but that was due to covid.

Quote from SlickStealz :
I too bought a macbook air about a month ago. The terms say it is valid within the "promotional period". I cant find details on this promo period…
I just contacted support and they said you're only eligible if your order falls on or after the date of June 3. The customer service agent suggested that I can just return the Mac and get a new one if the Airpods are super important for me. I said .. sure .. let me do that. It's counter-intuitive for them to make me do this... But sure. Free Airpods are free Airpods

Quote from NYCDealguy :
I see $10 target GC with $100 Apple GC offer. How do you get to 14%? Redcard 5% apply to this?
Yes. You will be charged 90$ for Apple gift card minus the 5% redcard discount (so $84.5) and $10 for Target card. 5% red card discount applies to Apple card only.

So $100 Apple card and $10 Target card for $94.5

Lol, so wrong. Go to the edu website and order with any email address. I've done it countless times.
Seriously. It was more STRICT in the past and is now much more payed back. Anyone think Apple cares about a $200 discount? They just want that sale.

Direct quote from the fine print (there's also the same exact quote in there about grade school and kindergarten etc):

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

My son will join high school this year. will he be eligible for this discount? TIA
The official stance seems to be no but you've got some replies in this thread that says yes. https://www.apple.com/us-hed/shop

At the top it says "Available to current and newly accepted college students and their parents, as well as faculty, staff, and homeschool teachers of all grade levels.*"

There seems to be people in this thread who said they have not had to get their information verified. What you decide to do is up to you.

Just found the full terms and conditions, valid dates are June 17 through September 27, or while supplies last.

I'm hoping to wait and see if a new MacBook Pro 14 will be announced before then to take advantage of this offer.

Great! Thank you, yes that's my plan as well... or maybe the new Air will be out by then too. My 7+yr old Air is holding on by a thread right now though, so we'll see how long it will last lol.
