Now that the kids have celebrated their last day of school, college students have sold back their textbooks for 10 percent of what they bought them for, and the first day of summer has official passed, Apple is starting its Back to School campaign. Starting today and continuing until Sept. 9, Apple is offering a $50 retail store gift card for qualified students who purchase an iPad or iPhone. If you are investing in a new Mac, Apple will give you a $100 gift card.
Every year, Apple launches its Back to School discount program for qualified students. Traditionally, the company offered App Store gift cards that can be used toward books, music, movies, apps, and any other iTunes related content. This year, Apple has expanded its offering by making the gift card available toward any item in its store, including a gift card for the App Store, if you so choose.
In addition to the Apple Store gift card, qualified students can save on purchases, as well. Visit the Online Store for Education to see what is available. Apple is offering $30 off for the purchase of an iPad Air and $200 off of a MacBook Pro. Plus, get an average discount of 10 percent on dozens of accessories for your new gadget.
Of course, even at a discounted price, students are usually so tightly budgeted that they are forced to eat Top Ramen every night. So, to make your purchase a little less painful, Apple is offering a payment plan to students. For a limited time, students can make monthly payments with no interest for the first 90 days. Even if you have no credit history, you can still qualify if you have a co-applicant with good credit.
This payment plan is a great way for students to build their credit history by purchasing something they need anyway. The monthly cost of an iPad Air can be as low as $23.64 per month.
The Back-to-School gift card campaign lasts until Sept. 9. Education pricing is available to college students, students accepted to college, parents buying for college students, faculty, homeschool teachers, and staff at all grade levels. Visit the company’s website to see if you or your child qualifies.
