    has half the products as inelligible smh 🤦‍♂️, hopefully other cash back programmes match this

      Unfortunately Apple set the exclusions across all partners.

      • omahgah on 07/03/2025 - 22:33

        some partners* cashrewards still has mba m4 as eligible at 1.3% i believe

        • MaximumEffort777 on 07/03/2025 - 22:56

          That’s because CR haven’t updated their list since February 21st, before those products were announced.

            @MaximumEffort777: if they havnt updated it, u could argue its their fault unless they intend for it to be included …

              @omahgah: While I agree they’ll just say they overlooked it and reject the cashback.

            • Clear on 08/03/2025 - 08:15

              @omahgah: SB updated to the new exclusions provided by Apple last night. CR were sleeping and they're not going to be able to pay out. Apple will reject the transaction.

    Thanks OP, but on account of the myriad exclusions, it’s not exactly perfect or even usable by anyone looking to buy most products released in the past year. Since that would likely represent the overwhelming majority of purchases - who instead of receiving 7%, would receive 0% - a cynic may suggest it’s a promo designed to trick anyone who doesn’t read the fine print.

    • omahgah on 07/03/2025 - 22:13

      for real, title should be changed to say "many exclusions apply"

    • aedomsan on 07/03/2025 - 22:29

      I was looking at getting a 14” MBP, looks like those aren’t excluded

    • UncleRico on 07/03/2025 - 22:07

      Nope. M4 is ineligible like many other current gen releases.

      • BargainsGrabber on 07/03/2025 - 22:08

      Can do both

      • Kai4039 on 07/03/2025 - 22:32

      u can use BOTH ! - load the giftcards into apple balance and purchase through the affiliate links !

    • WhyAmICommenting on 07/03/2025 - 22:31

      I’ve never bought a whole stack from Coles or Woolies - seems a bit painful for 3%?

      Just saw above - got it!

    • Loki556 on 07/03/2025 - 22:57

      Where do you buy 10% GC?

        https://freepoints.com.au/ & https://gcdb.com.au/offers/

        are great websites to track gift card/points deals - it's on atWoolworths till this coming Tuesday, get in quick !

      • WookieMonster on 07/03/2025 - 23:11

        Woolworths.

        Fingers crossed the gift cards at the Woolworths you go to are not tampered…

        • hihi on 08/03/2025 - 00:07

    Have not used gift cards before but I have noticed that Bupa offers Apple gift cards at 5% off, can it be stacked?

    Would use of gift cards affect any potential warranty claim?

        thanks. sorry new to this

        the woolworths deal is great but hasn't there been issues with tampering of apple GCs?

        • omahgah on 07/03/2025 - 23:16
          +1

          rare cases id say, more prominent in big cities due to higher traffic. but no problems for me so far - as long as u buy them and immediately load them onto your apple account balance there should be no issues (no chance for code generators to potentially match your purchased code)

  • jingy on 07/03/2025 - 23:30

    Apple Watch not listed under exclusions but does cash back still count when buying it through the education store? Seems like the price is the same

    • FrugalNotStingy on 08/03/2025 - 02:02

      Why would you buy from the edu store if price is the same? I always just buy from regular store if price is the same in both stores to save me from the hassle in case they ask for eligibility proof.

      • MaximumEffort777 on 08/03/2025 - 02:18

        For the increased cashback rate.

        • FrugalNotStingy on 08/03/2025 - 02:47

          My bad. Thought this deal also included the regular store. After reading the exclusions, I lost interest!

  • avoxtionly124 on 08/03/2025 - 02:09

    Is it worth it returning the MacBook Pro I bought last week for the 7% cashback and ordering again? it would save me an extra $120 roughly

    • FrugalNotStingy on 08/03/2025 - 02:51
      +1

      Yes but there’s a risk that cashback won’t be tracked or the new MBP you receive is not as good as the one you have now (screen tint, coil whine, port problems etc.)

  • dunnycan on 08/03/2025 - 04:26

    Does this cover the ipad accessories. Or the new iPad Air m3 Magic Keyboard? It’s not in the exclusion list

  • dreamykitten on 08/03/2025 - 08:58

    "Cashback is eligible on purchases paid with gift cards". What about Apple Account Balance? They are practically the same but not exactly. Thanks.

    • Dollar Dreamer on 08/03/2025 - 12:31

      Last time I paid with Giftcards it tracked. There was a delay until it was posted for tracking to appear which in my case was 1 week.

  • forconstruction on 08/03/2025 - 09:41

    Thanks bought an iPad Pro + Apple Pencil.

  • Focus8 on 08/03/2025 - 10:29

    • doodlejones on 08/03/2025 - 11:46

      From last experience, it only tracks hours after picking up or delivery.

      • Focus8 on 08/03/2025 - 17:04

        Valid data point, thanks for sharing!

  • sjobeck on 08/03/2025 - 12:30

    Mac 4 mini included?

    • Clear on 08/03/2025 - 12:46

      Yeah it's not in the exclusions that I can see.

  • Tex112 on 08/03/2025 - 13:36

    Got a Mac mini M4. $678 after Woolies Rewards and cash back.

    • Dollar Dreamer on 08/03/2025 - 20:02

      Not possible me thinks. Lowest you can get it down to is $711. Edu $850 price after 7% cashback (gst removed) and 10% giftcard discount.

  • FOX on 08/03/2025 - 13:36

    While the 16e is excluded, given the cashback and discounted gift card, there is absolutely no reason to buy the 16e over the standard 16.

  • bananhana on 08/03/2025 - 15:20

    Great deal OP cancelled my AOC order for this. Only a $20 saving but got free Airpods Pro!

  • bargain-hunter on 08/03/2025 - 16:14

    What’s the difference between Education and normal stores? Guessing you can only access with a student ID?

    • MaximumEffort777 on 08/03/2025 - 16:49

      The Education store is meant for students (Uni), educators and parents buying for Uni students and offers some discounts and promotions not available on the regular store.

      You don’t need to provide a student ID at the time of purchase is it’s online but may be asked for it in store when ordering or collecting. The illegitimate workaround is ordering online and having the order delivered, where you’re not asked for a student ID.

    Doesn't show Apple website in the "visited merchants" list…. assuming take s while to update.

        Here are the links for the clicks: (Not visible on the app)

        • Your last click.

        • All clicks with times made in the last 100 days.
          Click "I understand continue".
          Look for ''Apple" in the retailer list.
          This is also where you submit a missing cashback claim after 7 days from purchase if untracked.

  • alteclan on 08/03/2025 - 18:02

    Does this work with Apple Education Union Store?

  • Dollar Dreamer on 08/03/2025 - 20:56

    It states Apple refurbished also qualifies. Is that at the full 7% or 2% rate?

    • Clear on 08/03/2025 - 20:56

      Is it from the education store?

      • Dollar Dreamer on 08/03/2025 - 21:02

        No man, I am asking about the Refurbished store.

        • Clear on 08/03/2025 - 22:00

          Then it will be 2%. 7% is on the education store.

  • BargainsGrabber on 10/03/2025 - 00:03

    8% cashback via ShopBack (4pm-10pm AEDT) + 2% Westpac bonus ($20 cap per purchase)

    Could potentially use it as highest cashback guarantee at TCB

  • blue21 on 12/03/2025 - 22:42

    Did anyone receive a message asking for further identity? Appears to be from DHL but worried it is a scam

    • FrugalNotStingy on 13/03/2025 - 11:55

      Ignore. Legit DHL would never ask your ID. At least not with the 100+ packages including Apple orders I have received that were handled by DHL in the past.

      • blue21 on 13/03/2025 - 18:24

        Okay thanks for the comment!

  • master1 on 14/03/2025 - 17:46

    I ordered Macbook pro for $2349 and got the free airpods via the deal. The cashback amount was calculated on the laptop price of $2050 instead of the total proce of $2349.

    So the total cashback tracked was $130.45 instead of $149.48. What was your cashback amount?

    • alteclan on 14/03/2025 - 22:23

      I believe they’re excluding GST

      • master1 on 15/03/2025 - 08:46

        If we calculate 7% cash back on ex gst amount it should result in cash back around $149

        • FrugalNotStingy on 15/03/2025 - 10:52

          Need to take off the cost of the free Airpods as well before calculating the 7% cashback.

  • gembel on 18/03/2025 - 19:32

    my $299 airpods tracked few hours after it was shipped.
    my macbook pro was shipped yesterday but that still hasn't tracked yet?
    anyone else having tracking issues?

  • lknight on 21/03/2025 - 18:23

    hi, did anyone get CB for buying Apple from the education store using this deal? I initially got headphones only tracked but now that has been declined, saying Apple declined! What is the use of doing this Deal when they are going to just simply decline.

    • lknight on 21/03/2025 - 18:25

      lol i didnt read this part - The following are ineligible for cashback (updated 05/03/2025): New MacBook Air (M4) 13” & 15”.
      I logged a support ticket and they took back the headphones cash back lol
