I sure am sorry you got cheated out of this deal while some of us in the "special groups" category ran patrols halfway around the world in 130 degree heat, sleeping where we could, while you slept in your own bed with AC and a clean comforter. I feel absolutely horrible for you since you don't qualify.

The military and Coast Guard are always recruiting so how bad do you want this iPad?

As others have mentioned, you can join the military. I believe that recently, some of the services have expended their maximum entrance age to 40-42 years old. If you have specialized skills (Ex. cyber, medical, engineering, culinary, etc...), in some services, you can get a direct commission or enlistment. Additionally, if you cannot join the services due to other reasons, you can always become a civilian gov't employee (not a contractor) of either DoD or DHS (USAJobs.gov [usajobs.gov]) Further, you could always volunteer and join the US Coast Guard Auxiliary (https://join.cgaux.org/eligibility )and get access to being able to shop at the CG Exchange. At this point, being able to shop at the military exchanges is open to millions - similar to trying to join a Credit Union with special group access - there's always another way in.

Quote from teeitup :
The NEX Black Friday ad shows this model for $249 plus a $50 NEXt Level Rewards gift card effectively making it a better deal to wait.
I agree, but this is the best deal if you don't shop much from the exchange. You don't have to sit on a gift card.

I agree. Gift card isn't equally the same as cash. Liquidity vs illiquidity comparison here.

I ordered from AAFES and really didn't want to waste DoD money in the return and buy when the supplier is probably the same. I was able to call AAFES and they price matched shopcgx. $20 back makes this smokin.
Aafes is self-funded, for-profit. You wouldn't be touching DoD dollars.

Nice find! I just bought the $400 ipad Air from CGEX and returned my $270 vanilla ipad to the Nex yesterday....

A $230 ipad has some awesome utility just for being a thing that you don't have to take such good care of.... but I'm not going to do any more returns and flip-flop again....

Slickdeals is not good for me.

Hmmm. I went back through "VetVerify" which verified me but I still can't get to any products on the CG site.
I'll try again tomorrow, thanks.

Also didn't know about the Coast Guard Exchange (only AAFES and NEX). Thanks to OP for enlightening for more military purchase choices.

I might have to think about doing this were there any hoops to jump through or was it pretty simple ? Not trying to make a stink

So, just so I'm clear - Did you order this iPad from AAFES the other day and then called them to ask them to pricematch the CGEX deal and they gave you back $20?

If that's the case, that's awesome! Maybe all the other AAFES buyers could do the same as you. If so, that is smokin HOT!

I just tried to price match one I bought at Aafes and they said the coast guard exchange is not on the list of companies they price match. Good luck!

If you Android phone can serve as a WiFi hotspot, you can definitely connect an iPad to it — same as connecting to any other WiFi network Smilie
