Deal Details
Huge YMMV and if you are able to stack it. I had a coupon of $45 to apply to an already reduced Mac Mini at Amazon. I then applied for an Amazon Prime credit card for the $250 gift card. I know I'm likely one of the few people who have not already opened one. I was then able to apply the gift card directly to this purchase.

https://www.amazon.com/Apple-2024...B0DLBTPDCS

I also selected the slowest shipping rate to get the 7% back in rewards. Whether that happens or not remains to be seen.

A snip of my order to prove it is here as well.

So, this includes the coupon of $45? Where did you get the coupon and how does one obtain this?

I'm not sure. I'd been scoping the Mac Mini for the last little bit (every day or so on Amazon and other places) and almost bit a couple of weeks ago. I suppose it is targeted.

Nah, not worth wasting one credit hard pull just for $250. Besides, MC always has it for $450. Or apple edu for $499.

$250 and 12 months no interest so you're at like $20 a month. I suppose to each their own.

Applying for a credit card isn't part of the deal here.
By that logic, I could get anything up to 250 for free, and everything up to that amount would be a slick deal.

Correct. You could put it to a new PS5 or bedsheets. I chose to offset the cost of the computer.

Change the title. This is not a deal about apple, so your title is totally irrelevant. This is at best a "deal" about the credit card, which honestly for getting only $250 for a hard pull, is not really a deal.

What would you prefer it say? It literally says $500.

$250 GC from getting approved on new amazon credit card

That's the gist of your "deal". Otherwise, your down votes are going to keep on accumulating.

There. I fixed it for you and not for the down votes.
