You have to connect to the Apple store from inside a recognised University network to gain access to the store. The technical details are that Universities will have fixed IP addresses on the Internet and the Apple store knows what these IP addresses are. It will only allow people browsing from these IP addresses into the store.

If anybody could use it there would be no point in having a discount for students :mad:

There used to be a message on Quidco when you clicked through that you weren't allowed to use Quidco as well as Edu or Further Edu discount. This changed towards the end of October, check the Apple page on Quidco page, they pretty much encourage students to use the discount.
Everyone can get a £60 rebate off printers (and there's a £60 printer...) and students get a £95 rebate off an iPod, when bought with a computer. The iPod deal might have ended in October...

I have used the link that, listuk put up, got the new macbook for £816.63, instead of £949, saving £132.37 about 16% just waiting on delivery now.

I hope you haven't used it fraudulently.
