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

Which option would you guys choose?

Mac Book Pro M1 (8GB) $1297.92

Or

Mac Book Air M1 (16GB) $1168.02??
I think more memory any day. Main advantage of the pro is cooling fan and battery if you don't care about the Touch Bar

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

Actually, I chatted with them and they gave me the deal. Instead of taking the free regular airpods I paid $90 to get the pro...

When you add the items to your bag it shows the cost of the AirPods as a discount off the mac/iPad.
When you return the mac/ipad and keep the AirPods you only get the discounted price back. What if you return only the AirPods? Do you keep the discount on the mac/iPad? Has anyone tried this in the past? Or will they not let you return the AirPods alone?

I also have similar question. As I am new to AirPods, what if I want to exchange for pro. Can I do that?

For iPad Pro educational pricing it looks like bestbuy is 50 bucks cheaper but no AirPods.
I believe those are previous models(2020).

I got my third order denied. However I was able to get more gift cards by varying value of cards.

Order a $100 gift card twice, then two $50 gift cards twice, then four $25 gift cards twice
you can also try to do it a different day too. I ordered 2 $100 on sunday and then ordered another $100 on saturday.

I wanted to get the iPad Pro 12.9 inch(The one announced in May) the only thing stopping me from doing it is this whole "Blooming" thing I keep on hearing about..otherwise this is a great deal..Was going to trade in my 2018 ipad pro to get the new one..as far as the airpods go, aren't they supposedly going to come out with a newer one soon? As far as the 14 inch macbook pro I guess the rumor is that will be coming out in October/November after this promo ends

I just ordered iPad Air 4.
Reason to choose this over 8th gen ipad:
Comes in Blue Color
A14 bionic processor vs A13
Fingerprint scanner is cooler
64gb storage vs 32gb (didn't went for 256 gb. Not needed for me)
10.9 inch display vs 10.2
4gb ram vs 3gb
12 mp cam vs 8mp
Takes 4k video
Has Usb-C port
Resolution- 2360X1640 vs 2160 X 1620
And on top of that free AirPod. I won't use that since I got that and pro already but can gift it to someone.
