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$
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.
Yeah, I can understand that it might be a bit more challenging. However, I don't have any problems ordering for my family and friends. I pay with my credit card, and they simply Cash App me the money. They appreciate the savings, and I enjoy the miles I earn from my credit card. Thanks to them, I haven't paid for airfare in over a decade.
This case Costco is applying as discount whereas main product page shows it as manufacturer coupon. Even for me there isn't tax on the $200 otherwise it would have calculated tax on the shown price, which case Amazon only had it as $749.
You do realize AC+ is more than damage insurance, right? Extended hardware warranty, battery warranty and other benefits. It is unlikely one will need it (like most insurance) but it should be said that it's more than just coverage for dropping your MacBook (which there is a deductible that needs to be paid to fix your dropped MacBook, it's not free).
After 2 AC+ purchases, one could buy a brand new laptop alone.... see the issue there? I, like many, actually take care of our electronics while others are more careless or just id1ots with their stuff.

If you want to roll the dice on a $1000 laptop that's cool but if someone has never used a MacBook before and encounters issue and doesnt have AppleCare+ they are going to be in for a rude awakening
Also most people dont know what's wrong with their laptop when it dies or something isn't working correctly and to diagnose it costs $100, why not spend $229 for 3 years of peace of mind?
If I haven't had multiple repairs and multiple replacements on $3k+ MacBook Pros over the years I might consider not getting it especially if it's a low priced model. But AppleCare+ is so cheap for the Air it's almost counterintuitive not to get it.
Finally, if you decide the laptop is not for you or want to upgrade selling a MacBook with existing AppleCare+ already on the device raises the resale price and leads to a quicker sale.
I see where you are coming from but the average Joe doesnt have that info
just don't buy way overpriced apple product in the first place. 16GB/256GB is a joke. It should be $250.
Serious question... how is 256 more Gb of SSD worth $200? Feel like Apple is milking the storage for every dollar they can squeeze out of us.
Apple is definitely squeezing. they use the integrated chips. so because consumers have no other option to upgrade the storage, Apple can demand whatever price they think is reasonable
