Even better to buy $250 gift card and get $25 on Amex and use another card that has 5% cashback to pay the balance to maximize savings

Just a heads up with Amazonโ€ฆonly buy an iPad if you're 100% sure you want to keep. I bought an iPad from Amazon that I wanted to return. They won't let you take it to Kohls or UPS to return. Amazon had to schedule a UPS pickup from my house. Then they require you to wait up to 30 days before issuing a refund since they have to inspect it due to being a high ticket item. They received the iPad I returned on 11/14 and still no refund. I never even removed the seal from the iPad box. For me it's a lesson learned to avoid Amazon when it comes to Apple products.
Someone here on Slickdeals commented the same thing before and I thought it was just that person or they were exaggerating. Nope. According to the multiple Amazon reps I spoke with this is standard practice for Apple products.

I did the same but then Best Buy cancelled my order last night without explanation. They still have them in stock for the color, capacity and condition (open box / excellent) I chose. Trying again today.

Dang that sucks. I do think the M1 is the better buy over the A14 so hopefully you get it this time around. Good luck!

Can we still take advantage of the Target deal or are you just reminiscing?
No, the Target deal has passed. I'm giving context to how well this deal stacks up to recent deals. It's an decent deal but not a lose-your-mind fire icon deal IMHO.

Quote from kida182001 :
If I buy $250 BB gift card to get the $25 amex credit, I'd apply that 250 to the $654 total, making it $404. Then pay the remaining $404 with Paypal/Chase Freedom card and get 5% cashback from the $404 amount.

Can you elaborate on the 5% cash back on the chase freedom card with PayPal purchase? I have that card but don't see a 5% offer for PayPal/Best Buy?

It's part of this quarter's 5% category and you have to activate it. 5% cb if you shop at Walmart or checkout with Paypal with your linked card. Maybe it's ymmv? Not sure.

Quote from spec2 :
Originally Stage Manager wasn't supported on the 64GB model, allegedly because it didn't support virtual memory swap. Of course there was a huge outcry that a current M1 model was gimped because of that so Apple backtracked and included Stage Manager for the model. Of course Stage Manager runs slow on it so it's of marginal use (not that it's exactly a break out feature on higher models). But, for me at least, the question remains regarding "future proofing," is how many features in future iPad OS versions will also require virtual memory swapping, or run much slower because it's absent? That's where I'm afraid this comes into play rather than 3rd party apps.
I see your point. I'm a bit surprised Apple needs more than 8GB to run something like Stage Manager, which seems like nothing more than a desktop interface, to run. Apple has always been resource efficient as of the past, at least. Granted, it'll also depend on what apps you use. But I still think that the people that will ever use stage manager are likely in the low 10% of IPad M1 users.

But my concern was over Virtual memory itself. I know that 64GB chips have a much shorter lifespan than their 256GB counterparts, but we're talking Read and Write values that far exceed the typical life of an ipad. Even if they kept the VMS file to 4Gigs, that is still a major improvement.

You can trade in an iPad mini 4 but not an iPad mini 5. Great logic Best Buy.

The chase freedom unlimited doesn't have 5% cash back rotating categories, you must be referring to a different card of theirs

I never said unlimited. It's the regular freedom card that's lighter blue than the unlimited.

kida is correct.

Freedom (basic) is cash back through rotating categories. 1% everything else. No annual fee. New signups also closed to start bringing in Freedom Flex users which is better.

Freedom Unlimited is standard 3% cash back on restaurant and 5% travel booked through ultimate rewards, 1.5% everything else. Hence the unlimited part
Unlimited is basically a no annual fee Sapphire (well, without the FTF in return)

[edit] Sorry, i replied to the wrong person so they will get the ping.

A data point for those interested in getting an open box-excellent ipad air from this deal. Mine was only 3 weeks old, so had 11 months and 10 days of warranty remaining and was still eligible to purchase applecare+. No flaws or scratches, and had only 1 charge cycle count. Only negatives was the original box came a little beat up from being shipped in an envelope instead of a shipping box and it looks like the original purchaser swapped out the USB-C charging cable with a USB-C to lightning cable. Not a big deal for me since I have plenty of USB-C cables.

What a rip off! Get a non-apple device instead!
You pay for the servicing for the hardware too. I learned that lesson with blackberry playbook that had fantastic hardware but zero service for updates. So devices are only as good as its software and warranties.
