You can't use quidco and get the full edu discount even using your Uni's webcache. (Tried before and had it declined)

Also, not all unis have webcaches that can be accessed off site

Wahey! How do you do that then??

Millionaire - its true, seems they have bumped the price up of macbooks or am I remembering wrong?? Although the basic macbook is still ~£700 which is what it was before. It was rumoured that apple were bringing prices down in with this update - just wishful thinking methinks..

Well I have been holding back from purchasing a Macbook for a month or 2 due to the new models. However after yesterdays unveiling, the price was a shocker and also the removal of the firewire broke the deal for me.(from reading around Mac forums Im not alone and many people are moaning about it)

Adding insult to injury they increased the price of the cheapest Macbook from £699 to £719 whilst in America they have reduced it by $100.:eek:

I will however now purchase the white macbook as it now includes the Superdrive instead of the combi(they finally got rid of it so you dont have to previously buy the £829 model) and also has firewire.

I will find comfort in my education discount and partially free ipod.:o

Get a printer too (£60 rebate) and sell it

There's one printer that's free that way, so anything you get for it would be a bonus

redeem what Flinger? IIRC the discount is automatically applied?

Do you mean redeeming the amount for the iPod nano? Thats cool, I was just wondering about the edu discount - looks like it worth waiting (for my sister) to go into uni and buy her laptop.

Yeah sorry, I was talking cross purposes and looking at the student discount given for buying 2 products, not at the on-line discounts described above.

That's why I deleted my post as soon as I realised what you were after.

Hmm, worked for me yesterday:
Go via quidco
Select education store
Then use the 'Select your univeristy link'

Had quidco from apple tracked sucessfully

You will probably find it is turned down later

Let us know if it's not though

dang. so what should i tell sis to do? order from onsite? Can she still clear cookies etc so I get my quidco cashback?

tinkerbell84

It's worth trying.

You should never rely on quidco anyway - see it as a nice bonus if you get it!
