  I'm confused what you are trying to achieve? Your buy the macbook now for $1000, you see it on sale from somewhere else at a later date within the qualifying period for $750 and you contact 28 degrees to make the claim.

  Why do you need screenshots?

    Most importantly because I dont know of any other retailers that offer a 32gb version of the macbook pro

  Few things to consider:
  if the SAME notebook is sold in the same config in a years time it is UNLIKLEY to have dropped in price as apple tend to only change pricing if the update the models/specs or on super rare occasions (like recently due to significant SSD price drops)

  when Apple makes changes to their notebook range and changes specs (even slightly) they give it a new model number
  this means in a years time the notebook while the "same" will technically not be the same device and as such 28 Degrees can argue against price protection.

  A friend got caught out, the only change apple made to the unit was increased the "standard Ram" but as it had a new model number the price protection was not honoured.

    Thank you so much for a clear explanation, that was what I was worried about.

    So essentially you dont think they will keep selling the macbook pro (with a certain spec set) that they have on their website now in a years time. Or if they do it would not have dropped in price.

    Is that a correct summary?

      If they are still selling it in a years time it’s unlikely but not impossible the pit would drop. If they made any spec changes or it changed its position in the lineup for any reason they would also change the model number this would make protection claim difficult.

  Does 28degrees price protection work for all purchases? That's crazy, because 12 months is a long time in the tech world.

    It has quite a large range, no online services, jewelry, watches, 2nd hand stuff or consumables. I use the Coles Mastercard PP for EB Games and make a note to check the price in 2 years. Usually get about 70%+ back 😁

        Yeah price protection is really worth it as far as I can see, unfortunately the coles one is no longer available.

        There is a 28 degrees card and a GO? card or something that are really similar

    You need to call lattitude financial to add the price protection feature to your card but they don't provide any more to new 28 degrees cardholder.

      Thanks for the heads up. That's a shame.
