The student discount is usually the same either way you access it (~8%). If its through your university network, the discount is still there - but you need to add VAT. Some universities must get special rates compared to others.

Regarding the egg money - you need to access the apple site by clicking the link on the egg site and then there is no option to enter the educational store - so I don't think you can use both offers at once.

this is strange. I also thought there was no option to enter the education store via the Egg affiliate, but i have just tried and saw the education link at the bottom. Im sure last week it wasnt there.

Aargh! To cancel my order or not?

did u actually see the cashback to your account after you tried this. I rang egg about this and they said when you clicked the student link, the cashback no longer applied.

Yes the cashback appeared in my account at the same time the transaction. However I used the schools discount rather than the university one - don't know if this makes a difference.

just had a look at the egg money discounts page today and found that the dicount for apple is now 5% not 10%

Also when you click on the link the education store option isnt avaliable anymore

Have they closed this loophole before i could get a chance to use it? grrrr!

I just bought a powerbook from the Apple Store Online using Education discounts last week.

I didn't bother using the link from egg at all, just logged into the Education store as normal. I have bought from apple a few times this way, and it seems that using Egg's link is irrelevant - as long as you purchase using your Egg Money card you will receive the instant cash back.

And, yes, it is only 5% now, but still well worth it - I also bought the Harmon Kardon Soundsticks which are only £90 if you buy them with a computer (usually £129 from Apple) - so lots of discounts! I figure I have saved about £315!

When you click on the Education Pricing and go to "your university" and affirm you are a student and select the "I agree" button to get to the actual store products, is there ever a point where you have to enter in a student ID number? Looks to me you just say you are a student, identify a university and continue to shop, enter in credit card information and verify it. Is this the case? Please advise, thanks!
