Step 1: Check your Amex cards for offers. Abt.com currently has $125 cash back offer for a $900+ purchase.
Note: Not every account will have this, hence YMMV! Looks like the offer might also be different for different cardholders, including a $100 off $1,000. Mine expires on 7/31/2026, so if you want to hold out for a potentially even greater price difference, there's that option, as well.
Step 2: Abt.com will price match to Amazon via chat (they will send a secure payment link). Amazon still has it for $899. You do still pay tax on $899. For me (MN) the final price after the cash back posts will be $850.64.
Clarification: I paid $975.64, which will trigger the credit. The $850.64 price will be reflected once the offer posts.
Filler items: if you don't have sales tax, search for "corn bread" or "salsa" ($8-ish). There are also some travel accessories, like luggage locks, for $20.
Step 3: Well, there's not one, really. Abt is a certified Apple reseller, so there are no warranty issues here. Can still add AppleCare and all that.
Applies to other models, as well.

AFAIK, most of the CB portals don't give cashback on Apple products.
Also, does the $900 requirement apply to the total purchase amount before taxes, or is it excluding taxes?

I edited the OP to reflect the cash back rather than $ off language; you're correct, it's not like a coupon, but effectively works the same. Your receipt will reflect the higher amount if you ever need it for an insurance claim or something.
