Isn't it the same price if including $150 GC and you don't have to pay BB membership fee?

How so? It's $1249 with a student discount plus receiving a $150 Apple gift card. Also, no need to pay a membership fee.
If you do not have the membership, try Amazon. The cash discount is much better than GC

Compared to an M1 Pro how does the base m3 compare real world?

The single-core performance of the M3 is significantly better than the M1. The multicore performance may also be better if we're comparing against the 8-core M1 Pro, although it could be slightly worse compared to the 10-core M1 Pro as the additional cores can stack things in its favor. The M1 Pro has additional graphics cores compared to the base level M3 so it is faster for graphics. However the M3 supports hardware ray tracing and AV1 video decoding.

In short, it's a mixed bag, both having pros and cons. Casual usage would favor the M3. For games or heavy usage the M1 Pro may perform better (particularly the 10-core version), especially when you consider the fans in the MacBook Pro (versus MacBook Air here) allow for better sustained usage without throttling.

So I just ordered this

Price matched it to B&H 1249 and help desk said If I add the membership I will get 50$ gift card, so paid 1300.

So free membership I guess.
