They questioned and held my M2 mini order. I had to provide them with proof I was buying it for my granddaughter.

Is the student discount order online then pickup in-store working? I did that 2 years ago for iPad, the guy at the store was like 'Are you a student?'. I had to say it's for my sister haha. Gave me a hard time for no reason.
They held my order until I provided my granddaughters college email address.

No proof needed. Like i said it is open to all . All you need to do is visit the education store and have it shipped. Even if you want to pick it up nobody is asking for ID. Their goal is to make more money from folks like you who think an ID is needed , when it is not.
You nailed it. Apple is no charity, apple just knows how price discrimination works. The goal of apple is to make every last penny based on how much each group can afford to spend.

So, it would be really naive if you think you are doing something unethical. You are merely beating apple in this pricing discrimination game!

Does the desktop coupon (which you sometimes run into on the Microcenter website) apply to mac minis as well? If so, you can actually turn this into a deal

Yes! I have seen this work for PC or Mac. Cashier will take off the coupon of $50 or $100 off if you can find one through the browser.

This sounds like retail fraud that you are telling people to commit. Is it worth it over $100? Ask yourself that.

How is this a fraud? You don't have to certify or attest you are a student.
It's just marketing by Apple.


They removed Unidays verification.

They know what they are doing.

I'm a student of LIFE.

They never check. I do delivery and in-store pick ups and was never once asked to prove I'm a K12 student. People don't blink an eye and congratulated me when I picked up my new macbook pro in the store too.

This is way too strange. I've never been asked and I've bought at least 20 devices.

Maybe certain state has stricter checks? or because I've gotten away with it so they assume I am a student from my past order history. haha!
