7% Cashback at Apple & Apple Education Stores (Was 1.5%) @ Cashrewards (6% on 8/5)

1900

Greetings everyone, sent over a message to TA to ask what the Apple promo is (as advised here and he told me 7% from 10am. Ends midnight tonight, then drops to 6% for tomorrow. After that, it goes back down to 1.5%, so be quick!

Seems like an awesome increase from CR for the Apple & Apple Education Stores :)

Haven't seen an increase like this in quite a while, and an awesome addition with the inclusion of the education store for further discounts.

      • thanks for confirming

  • Haven't seen an increase like this in quite a while, and an awesome addition with the inclusion of the education store for further discounts.

    not since last june when there were less exclusions and a $200 back from $1000 spend amex offer a few months after the current imac was released :)

  • Might pick up a phone cover for my new SE

    • +1

      Kmart has silicon ones for about $5 if that floats your boat. No one will ever know;)

  • would enrol into one fo those recent free courses online from TAFE treated as … student to access this education Apple site?

  • Just curious, can I salary sacrifice when purchasing through Edu store?

    • +1

      I'm not sure, but if it helps, the invoice does not show the fact that you bought from EDU.
      Source: I just bought a MBP 13" 10th Gen with 16GB RAM.

    • Yes, it does not matter

  • Would this be the best way to buy and iPhone 11?

  • Does anyone know if the Twelve South Bookarc would fit the new 16" Macbook Pro?
    The 16" model isn't listed in the compatibility section for the Bookarc.

    Surely it isn't that different to the 15"?

    Has anyone had experience? Can't seem to find much online.

    Thanks

    • The 16" is slightly thicker.
      Best to email them directly.

      • Yeah I have emailed Twelve South, just not sure if they will reply in time.

        • If you check this page:

          https://www.twelvesouth.com/search?_=pf&pf_t_filter_by_colle…

          They have separate listings for the arcs, so it doesn't look like the default one will fit the 16". At least you can buy just the arc to swap it out.

          • @dreamykitten: Ah thanks for that, that's the first time I have seen the 16" model directly referenced.

            On the Apple website it says it suits "MacBook Pro (2015 and later)", wonder if that means it will come with the right insert. Surely Apple would sell the correct inserts for its products.

            • @JoKing: Seeing as Apple Stores are reopening today, I'd give them a call. Or use their live chat function online. Also try messaging Twelve South on Facebook, I have had instances where companies responded quickly on Facebook but took days to reply my email.

    • +1

      For anyone following my dream, I just reached out to Apple Online support and they confirmed it won't fit the new 16" MBP models. They don't have the right insert (F-insert) and have no idea when they will. So I may look at the Satechi Vertical Laptop Stand.

      Just an FYI for anyone who was interested.

      • I have both and it fits with the 2014 retina insert.

        • +1

          You have the 2019 16" MacBook Pro with the Twelve South BookArc, and it fits with the retina insert?

          Do you know what insert that is?

  • +2

    Damn, the opportunity to get a base MacBook Pro for 1,719 instead of paying 2k to replace my 2014 MBP. Can someone give me validation to go through with this?

    • Yes do it

      • You’re such an enabler!

        • Do it. Your 2014 can still fare well in eBay because it has the ports and scissor-switch keyboard.

  • Doh! Just bought a MacBook Air a few day’s ago for kids not at school ☹️ Would have loved this bonus.

    • MacBook Air 2020 is not eligible for this apparently.

      • In the tread someone said it is.
        Oh well, can’t win them all.

    • man, kids today are spoilt

      • Not really, it was an excuse to get it for me but I talked myself into it by them being home and needing to video chat with school.

  • Hi TA,

    May I use this with the Pro Apps Bundle? :D

    https://www.apple.com/au-hed/shop/product/BMGE2Z/A/pro-apps-…

    • might count as itunes? If not what if you get this and a laptop in one order will it invalidate the whole order?

  • Wanted to buy an iMac with Salary Sacrifice. Should I wait for a iMac refresh later on?

    • Isn't salary sacrifice only for portable devices? i don't think a desktop qualifies. Could be different for your workplace though

      • Boss gave a green light with work from home arrangements.

  • OK. So I use the edu link and go through the order process .. where does it verify I'm a student?

    • It doesn’t
      I ordered and it never we asked me for my details

    • Is the pro max on the edu store?

      Edit: found them by googling but no discount!

  • +3

    Does this work with uni-specific education stores? e.g. the Melb Uni one https://www.apple.com/au_edu_800611/shop

    • +1

      Interested in knowing this too. But from what it looks like, it won't work because you have to navigate to the education store via apple web site

    • Good prices there. Is there one for Usyd? I tried googling but nothing came up.

    • @tightarse Can you please answer this question? I'm waiting to pull the trigger if works. Thanks

      • +2

        No, it won't be eligible for cashback. The pages you land on after clicking 'Shop Now' from either here or here are the only two valid tracking URLs. Uni specific stores are excluded. Thanks.

  • +1

    Can I pay on finance (zip money) to receive the cash back?

  • Has anyone managed to price match or price beat instore or online with other retailers?

  • Good time to buy apple pencil for the kids school ipad. The 1st gen will cost around ~$120 after cashback.

  • does this include IPhone 11 pro?

    • still confused , the link takes me to the education store.

  • I just called AppleCare+ and they offer a 10% discount to students. They didn't ask for any proof! Didn't get that offer on the website! Better than 7% but would be great if you could stack..

    • Can you just buy it later ?

      • I already have my device, I was just looking for a good discount on AppleCare! You can purchase AppleCare within 60 days for computers I believe

        • How much was the quoted price for a 13-inch Macbook Pro, I got quoted $274 discounted price for Apple Care+ for 3 years

        • Please see here re AppleCare.

  • Some retailers do the cashback based on the GST free price - eg Amazon… what happens with Apple? Will you get the full 7% off purhcase price, or 7% off the GST free price.

  • How many transactions are allowed?

  • +2

    Made a purchase this morning but haven’t received tracking confirmation from Cashrewards. Anyone have any idea how long it takes? Thanks

    • Says 1-7 days in description :)

      • Thanks :)

    • I havent received a tracking confirmation too. this always makes me nervous especially when it's a big purchase.

      Purchased 6:20pm last night and still no confirmation this morning….

      • Please read the terms in the OP, and my comment here :)

      • +2

        Same… purchased same time last night.

        No CR confirmation yet……

  • Tempted in purchasing the new iPad Magic Keyboard, seems to be $499 retail, or $469 edu price @ Apple.
    Just not sure if I should go this way, or the new Brydge Pro + with trackpad which is $349 (if only they would throw on a sale lol)

    • 1st party support and cool floating design is worth it. That being said, I have a Brydge non touchpad and my iPad is generally like a laptop. Very good build quality and full ‘lapability’ when I need it to be.

    • +2

      comparing those two for me at least, it's a no brainer for the MKB. I am using one now bought at the launch and dare I say, I type faster on it (11 inch model as well) than my MacBook Pro. I will admit thought that I was absolutely SHOCKED at how heavy it was when it was delivered (I usually use iPad Pro naked without any cover as I'm very sensitive to weight increase) but adjusted quickly. The typing feel on this thing is absolutely second to none and very quite. When you think about the physics you quickly understand the reason behind the design and the reduced angle of recline as well (be aware this does NOT fully rotate back like the other folios). Trackpad is ok, I'm still so used to touching the screen that I have to put my mind to use it actually :)

      • Can't believe people are actually paying $500 for a keyboard which is heavier than the Ipad itself. Just shows how much better thought out for typing the Surface line is with the kickstand and keyboard at less than half the price and weight. I own an Ipad Pro but the Surface is so much better for typing and work. Ideal device would by Surface with the screen and battery life of the Ipad Pro

      • Sold.. getting the apple magic keyboard! thanks bud for the info!

  • To those that dont mind spending a bit of extra money i would suggest looking into the MacBook Pro 16" as they are discounted more than the 13" counter parts. With this you could easily pick up a 16" only for a few hundred more than the 13" Pro with similar specs (without the dedicated graphics). I got a 16" earlier this year and i am in love with it!!

  • Better to buy MBP 16" with this deal now or wait for the 2020 refresh coming later?

  • +1

    Tightarse, when you check out should it show cashrewards??

  • Hey TA, i put an order last night for a few items but only got email from apple that they processed one and even then the apple email came this morning. So will i get 7% cashback or potentially just 1.5% if apple only process the order in a few days time?

    • Hi. Applicable cashback rate is whatever it was at time of purchase & payment. Thanks!

      • Hi TA, time of purchase vs payment is different though. I purchased my order last night but Apple hasn't taken money from my credit card yet. So I'm guessing I'm not receiving the 7%?

        • +1

          You'll be fine. You purchased and entered your payment details within the promo period.

      • +1

        Perfect. I am a bit like csia below. purchased and made my payments last night and got order numbers and stuff from apple.
        This morning email says 1 of the 4 items is on its way (wow) and issued a single invoice for that 1 item only so it was confusing me.

  • I purchased an ipad pro + apple pencil yesterday for delivery. Just got confirmation and tracking not too long ago, but its coming up as stock arriving from Chengdu-Pixian in China.
    I've never ordered from apple online but is this normal? I kinda expected stock to be sent from an apple store in aus.

  • I ordered a MBP 16" last night but it still says processing and funds have not been taken from my credit card. Has anyone else's order just stuck at that stage?

    • yeap, my apple pencil says processing and no funds taken for that yet even though its in same transaction with my ipad lol

      • So I've rung them and they have told me that my order looks fine and they will only charge me before they ship it out.

  • Hey TA any idea when the cashback will show up? I used the CR app to do the purchase

    • Thursday’s sales have begun reporting into CR accounts this morning (Saturday). Please see my comment here.

      • +1

        Just saw that earlier comment after I posted. Thanks for the heads up though, I went to check and it is showing now 🙂

        • Great news. Enjoy the cashback :)

    • +2

      My cashback was confirmed early this morning. Bought during the 7% cashback rate.

      • Great news. Thanks for sharing :)

  • Does the receipt/invoice say student discount applied if purchasing from the online education store?

    • +1

      No,what you can see is the product,price and GST. You can't even find there is a discount on your product.

  • +3

    I purchased a macbook pro on friday and havent got cashback confirmation yet. Hopefully i get it soon.

    • +2

      I did exactly the same and haven't got confirmation either. They're definitely still processing but it's good to know I'm not the only one!

      • +1

        have you got yours?

        • +1

          I purchased on the 7th, 4 days later still no confirmation which is becoming concerning!
