    How are you able to get 5%? I can only get 1.5% right now. Upsized cashback has generally been 8% or 10% but with a $100 cap.

        @evasive: Sorry misread I thought you were referring to cashback from Cashrewards on the Apple Store. When upsized it goes to 8% to 10%. Your best bet for apple gift cards is woolies/coles when they run 20x points, it equates to 10% off. You can then use those gift cards with upsized cashback from Cashrewards for even more savings

  AOC store vs general apple edu store, slightly different prices.
slx on 18/01/2023 - 12:46

Apple seems to have upped their price on some products, the base 24″ iMac is now $1999, it was $1899 only a couple of month ago. Amazon still shows $1899 as the RRP. Not sure if they did the same for other products though.
Killua on 18/01/2023 - 13:12

is there any provision for upcoming discounted Apple giftcard from Coles or Woolies in upcoming weeks within the promotion period of Apple Back to school deal please? So i can wait. I didn't buy enough giftcard from Woolies which ended yesterday. Thought that im gonna buy an ipad pro but changed mind & want to buy a Macbook pro which mean i'm short nearly $2k of gift card.

Has anyone tried to return the Airpods for a refund? As we pay full price for the Airpods, I think it should just be a normal return?

Additionally, if I pay with gift cards and my debit card, which payment method will the refund go to?

  The AirPods are free with this deal so you can't get a refund for something you haven't paid for.

    does the interest free option still work?
    
    on the regular store, they usually just call you later that day for the GE card number. wonder if they’ll take that opportunity to confirm your student/teacher id? i suspect not, as it’s usually just the finance team calling.

Lahmy88 on 20/01/2023 - 02:50

I’ve been waiting for Apple’s back to school promotion to see if somehow, by the off chance the Watch Ultras were discounted on the Education store or at least eligible for a bonus but no luck ☹️

Lol I knew this was likely but I’d already purchased its value in Apple gift cards from Coles recently (during the effective 10% off/20x Flybuys points promo - https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/748819) and so would’ve been awesome to get even more value than the $1169.10 I’ve calculated ($1299 - effective 10% ($129.90) ) I can get it for.

Now I’m not sure if I should stack again with one of the cashback apps (only just gotten into and probably not all that concerned to be honest), waiting on their larger percentage back deals to come on? 🤷🏻‍♂️ Lol I just wanna buy the watch already!
Lahmy88 on 20/01/2023 - 03:15

I can confirm though that THIS DEAL IS THE BEST Apple sale IF you intend to buy an iPad or Mac AND you are eligible for Education discount AND you’re also keen on the bonus they’re offering (AirPods this year (as was 2022) or other (eg. gift cards 2021)).

I’ve made the same mistake two years running not waiting on this back to school special! Last year I even wrote myself a note in my phone for Apple sales but had forgotten about it! 🤦🏻‍♂️

In October 2021 I bought my new MBP 14” with the education discount BUT had I waited a few months until January 2022, I could’ve got some near enough to free/minimal price AirPods 3 (which I wanted, or at least wanted coz they were finally a price I was happy to pay for) lol damn 🙃

And during Black Friday sales just gone, I bought an iPad Pro 11” 256GB WiFi for $1430 from eBay (after promo BF promo code) which was $59 better than the Education discount price, so bought it without much thought (like I said, I had forgotten the note I had wrote myself) about the upcoming back to school sale, thinking I was already getting the best deal I’m likely to get!

I hadn’t at that stage quite gotten right into the full-blown OzBargainer spirit yet of chasing the best bargain to the nth degree (stacking with gift cards or using cashback apps etc.). I didn’t actually really need the iPad straight away and so could’ve waited for this deal 🤦🏻‍♂️

Had I thought about it properly, I could’ve netted myself a free pair of AirPods 3 w/MagSafe charging case and saved another $27 because by now I would’ve also stacked with some effective 10% off Apple gift cards (see my comment above)…

$1489 iPad Pro 256GB WiFi model education pricing - $219 AirPods discount + $289 for AirPods 3/MagSafe charging case ($70 difference) = $1559 before gift cards or $1403 effectively using 10% off/20x FlyBuys promo bought Apple gift cards - what an idiot! Twice! 🤦🏻‍♂️😂

So in summary, if you meet those conditions like
I do at the top, take my advice and save iPad/Mac purchases until Apple’s back to school sale mid-January and also have your Apple gift cards ready that were bought with a ~10% off deal as a nice kicker/stacked deal, and also maybe order using one of the cashback apps 👍🏻
colt75 on 20/01/2023 - 11:29

If you don't need the airpods the savings from AoC store are better - When purchasing a MBP anyway.

So this is a better deal than getting from AOC store? I'm guessing it is if you get a free pair of Airpods 2 vs AOC without them?
