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.

Better deal through here if you are trading in an Apple device. You get $100 off on the 12.9" pros AND the airpods for free. 2018 11" iPad Pro trade-in value is currently $450

Well if it's not on your receipt then.. or if it wasnt announced at the time you bought it good chance it's a no. How do they know you even want it, for them to simply just toss in there for everybody.. It wouldn't make sense.. but excellent question though, mind boggling
just worked for me

Some 16 or so states have a weekend where there is no sales tax collected. It's usually one weekend in July/Aug. Google "tax free weekends 2021".

Did they give the reason for cancelling your order? Did you use the .edu email to order?

Quote from iTom :
If you can use the AirPods, the education deal is probably the best you will get. I believe the best price for AirPods (2nd gen) last year around christmas time was in the $110-$120 range. If you want to resell the AirPods, it may not be worth it due to so many fake ones selling for around $50.

IMO, second best deal is their refurbished ones. Right now the M1 MacBook Air with 256gb storage is $849. Best part is their refurbished products have brand new batteries, look new (not so much as a single scratch on them), and they still have the same warranty as brand new - 1 year. You can even add AppleCare to them just like new ones. it's a no-brainer IMO.
Is that Apple selling the air referb or another retailer
