Price match with bestbuy and use your amex offer 25 back on 250.
If you have multiple cards with same offer, buy bestbuy giftcards and use them for payment.
If used right - you can bring down it to 750 - 3 * 25 = 675$
Amex offer is not applicable to gift cards. Please check terms and conditions
Amex offers can also be added just once per account (even if available on multiple cards on the same account) so the whole prior post about up to $75 off using multiple Amex cards doesn't work at all.
I understand that the number of people who qualify to shop there is relatively small, but the chances of a member knowing someone, such as a family member, friend, neighbor, or coworker, who can help you get something are much higher.
Sure, knowing is one thing, but in good enough relationship to get them to buy (or give access to the website) is yet another subset of that. They have to also be bother enough to register on the site and register. Almost the same as all the Micro Center deals...
This is a good deal at $750 and if you have Amazon credit card or store card, it's another 5% off.

Debating if it's worth spending 365+ tax to bump my MBA M2 8GB (Trade in value $385) to this MBA M4 16GB ... I don't really have any issues with how I am using M2 today ..
Also 2% extra for executive members. Costco will have Apple sales from 11/17 (advertised in their holiday book). Wonder if it's the same $750. Should I wait?
On Amazon it is 5% prime +1% (No rush Amazon day shipping) +5% prime young adult, so the 2% exe + 2% citi in Costco is not a big deal comparatively. Free refund/return until 15th Jan, so literally not a big deal going with Costco without Costco giving extras for holiday season. And the worst part with Costco is tax is calculated on MSRP not the discounted price.
I bought mine about 5 weeks ago and they gave me a one time price adjustment outside of the 30 days. I would 100% pay a few extra dollars to buy from Costco vs other retailers because of their cheaper Applecare+, generous return policy and great customer service.

No brainer upgrade IMO. That's a generous trade in amount for an 8GB device.

Depending on your circle of course, in mine, nobody is associated with the military.

Many people are in multiplayer mode and/or have additional users, all of them have the offers.

Yet it still works as it did day one, 15 years ago. That fine print is general, they can't say "you can only get gift cards if it's not processed by 3rd party" because the average user has no clue what that means. i.e. just ask how many see the diff between ship/sold by amzn vs. ship by amzn & sold by 3rd party.

That's your state, not Costco, here they don't do that.

Indeed, I'm offered $670 at BB and $475 at Apple for a 13" M3 16/512. That M2 8GB is probably a 15" with at least 512GB.

Looks like you are new to costco or never looked at what the tax is https://www.google.com/search?q=d...r />
2ndly you look to underestimate SDers. I don't think people are so dumb not knowing the difference between Sold and Shipped by Amazon vs 3rd parties. BTW the deal link takes to Sold and Shipped by Amazon.
This product was never listed for $999, looks like $800 is a normal price. Still some savings but not as dramatic as the listing shows.
$999 is the normal MSRP. If you were to buy direct from apple without an EDU/MIL discount, that's what you would pay. What's also true is that retailers have regularly been discounting the 'base' Macbook Air SKU's, so that nobody really should pay MSRP for the base specs.
Meanwhile, those of us that have been Costco members for many years have never experienced your claim. That, or maybe California is simply super, super tax friendly...

ROTFLOL at your trusting a dipshit AI...Meanwhile, those of us that have been Costco members for many years have never experienced your claim. That, or maybe California is simply super, super tax friendly...
Not just CA most states do tax. Tax is dependent on how the sale is discount vs manufacturer coupon,... Tax is state dependent not the stores but that doesn't mean we generalize it either case.
