      You can still get cashback on Macbook Air, all iPad Models, iMac 24"

      I believe you can also purchase iPhones (like iPhone 13, iPhone SE, iPhone 12), AirPods, and all the Apple Watches on the Education Store as well despite there being no Apple discount for it (please correct me if I am wrong)

      • dosada on 28/01/2023 - 00:14

        That's fair enough but all the top sellers are excluded. No new releases are included.

        • I Smell Pennies on 28/01/2023 - 00:17

          Yeah it would be great if they included the new releases but with cashback it's always been like this unfortunately

          • ivyholmes on 28/01/2023 - 00:56

            @I Smell Pennies: So iPhone 13 is included? How do you clarify this?

          • Flintz on 28/01/2023 - 01:17

            @I Smell Pennies: I believe the last 2 years the back to school cashbacks did start to include the latest iPhones. It's no longer the case this year

  • hj0809 on 28/01/2023 - 00:51

    Is the refurbished store/items still valid for 10% cash back? I thought it was separate?

    • I Smell Pennies on 28/01/2023 - 15:56

      It’s not in the exclusions list, so I’m assuming yes, as long as it’s purchased under the Education Store

  • samsam29 on 28/01/2023 - 01:19

    Will there be an uncapped offer?

  • KYoohu on 28/01/2023 - 02:01

    From my understanding, refurbished is not under student education category - so this means its only 1.5% cashback?

    • I Smell Pennies on 28/01/2023 - 15:57

      You can still buy refurbished items under the Education Store

  • Nillionaire on 28/01/2023 - 03:16

    uhhh are AirTags included?

    • I Smell Pennies on 28/01/2023 - 15:57

      It’s not on the exclusions list, so I don’t see a problem

  • stevelo on 28/01/2023 - 03:29

    I am confused, it’s say iPhone 14 pro and pro max ineligible cashback, but it didn’t mention iPhone 14.
    Can I assume iPhone 14 eligible for 10% cashback but no Free AirPods?

    • BargainsGrabber on 28/01/2023 - 03:33

      iPhone 14s are never eligible for free AirPods. Only selected Macs and iPads

      • stevelo on 28/01/2023 - 04:00

        • Fancydancer on 28/01/2023 - 05:37

    Am wanting to purchase an iPad for my daughter- how does the student ID thing work? Have clicked through and can’t see any mention of proving you’re a uni student despite being in the education store. Can anyone buy from the education store and receive the cashback? Thanks.

    • DarkOz on 28/01/2023 - 06:46

      I have bought iPad Air for the last 2 years with free Airpods and they don't ask or check for student ID. I suppose they could contact you for confirmation but you can just give them your daughter's student ID or cancel the order. I have already received both cashbacks from Cashrewards.

    • I Smell Pennies on 28/01/2023 - 15:59

      They don’t really check and if they do, it’s very rare

  • DarkOz on 28/01/2023 - 06:51

    Even primary school students go back to school with smart phones too. Should also offer free Airpods for iPhones.

      Use ultimate gift card to buy apple gift card at jb or office works. Otherwise, 5% off from Macquarie bank.

      • vee_el on 28/01/2023 - 12:38

        Is it difficult to use Ultimate gift cards to purchase Apple gift cards at JB or is it just a matter of whether the staff member you get cares?

        • me1stt on 28/01/2023 - 12:46

          You can add the visa version of ultimate gift card to mobile wallet, so the staff shouldn’t notice.

          • vee_el on 28/01/2023 - 19:31

            @me1stt: Wouldn't it be suss though if you have to tap your phone multiple times. For example if you have multiple $100 gift cards and making a large purchase?

            • me1stt on 28/01/2023 - 19:33

              @vee_el: There’s variable load. $500 maximum.

                    @me1stt: Ye might have to hit a few stores lol. Do you know if using a JB hifi gift card to buy an Apple gift card is dependent on the staff you get or does it definitely not work?

        • ivyholmes on 28/01/2023 - 14:36

          I recommend take screenshot of your purchased (make sure your screenshot is when you paid the. Product in cashreward app). Keep it as a warranty if cashreward do not track. You can email them after two weeks to cashreward but you'll get your cash back straight away. The key is the screenshot of purchased apple education straight away from cashreward app…I always take screenshot for any purchases from cashreward app, make sure there is a booking number

    • I Smell Pennies on 28/01/2023 - 16:05

      Anything you buy on the Education Store that’s not on the exclusions list is eligible for cashback

  • koala123 on 28/01/2023 - 16:57

    :'( Why does this happen to me every time? I missed out on the 10% cashback on black friday as I bought the product a week earlier. Luckily, apple still gave me the gift card. Then, i waited out for the back to school sale and a few days for the cashreward to up size the reward. Nothing so pulled the plug last fri. Now the up size cashreward is happening!

    Just curious….any resale value for 2nd gen airpods? I have mine but i don't think i want to keep it.

    • I Smell Pennies on 28/01/2023 - 23:06

      Unlucky :(

      Resale value $150+ I'd say

  • Twitchh on 28/01/2023 - 19:06

    So just to confirm, I can:
    1. Purchase 5% off apple gift cards from Macquarie bank
    2. Use these gift cards to purchase MB M2 air from the education store + get the airpod discount and buy airpod pros for $210 off
    3. Then get $100 off this purchase via cashback

    Just to want to check this would all work,
    Cheers

    • I Smell Pennies on 28/01/2023 - 23:03

      Yes, add those gift cards into your Apple Account Balance and then make the purchase via Cashrewards :)

  • [Deactivated] on 28/01/2023 - 19:21

    i bought an apple watch using gift cards, there was a bit left over on one so i added it to my account balance.

    except it added the whole gift card amount to my balance not the little bit left over. seems like they don't actually debit the gift card until it ships.

    also macquarie locked my account, probably since it's the first time i've used it in a year or so.
