Apple education store deal is better, $549 - $100 dollar gift card = $449.
From Macrumors:

"Announced in March 2022, the iPad Air is now among the older iPads in Apple's lineup and it is likely at the end of its product cycle. Rumors suggest that a new iPad Air could come as soon as October 2023. This means that now not a good time to buy the iPad Air and most customers should wait for a new model to launch."
Got this from the Apple store for the same price on release day. After nearly a year, I feel a bit of regret I didn't get the regular iPad instead. I mainly use iPads for media consumption, and don't notice any performance differences or much of a screen difference from the iPad 9. I do like the USB C, but the battery in the Air doesn't last nearly as long as the iPad. The fancy screen in it is also super expensive to fix, so be sure to get Apple Care with it.

So, it's a great tablet, but unless you're going to use the Pencil or do some PC-type work on your Air, I'd stick with the regular iPad.

All day battery life? That's funny.
Not sure why you got downvoted , as an owner of an M2 iPad Air I agree it will barely make a day unless you turn down screen brightness / enable power saving . As a media consumption device, I'd rather prioritize increased battery life..

Last year the 4th gen dropped down to $399 to sell out so maybe the same thing will happen to 5th gen…

'cause everyone's just tethering with their phones nowadays. Why pay two mobile bills when you could pay one? On top of a more expensive iPad!

Quote from HE1 :
I have been waiting for this price. Target matched with 5% red card.

Is it worth losing out on warranty though. You essentially sacrificing a 25 bucks for and additional year of warranty or two if you use Citi Premier. It why I always buy electronics using Citi Premier. Saved me a couple thousand dollar from a defective iPhone that stopped working right after the warranty period.

Have learned firsthand that it is almost never worth it.
Use Target 5% for shampoo, chips, etc.
Never ever ever for things where you might possibly need to seek action under a warranty. Or even valuable things that you might drop or lose or have stolen (hello, awesome AMEX protections!)

I couldn't justify spending $499 for only 64gb. I'll bite when it dips to $399 like last year.

The problem then is you gotta find a way to use 100 bucks at the Apple store without getting ripped off

I'm eyeing the air or the mini depending on the spec bump but people like Gurman and Ming Xi Kuo are saying different release dates. October or March 2024.

Same price as Best Buy right now. Rumor is apple is refreshing the iPad Air during October.

If interested in apple+
I just found out the $199 for total care warranty from Best Buy also includes apple care + for apple products bought from them…I didn't see a limit of how many items…
