How do you combine the Quidco and Apple Education Store savings?

I just tested this and for me it came through as about 30 quid off the price. Did you go through your college's network?

It's Higher Education only. If you can log on through your uni site you get a specific URL. This works even outside of the network which is how I can check

Hi, does anyone know if this is only for Unis, or can you get this level of discount if you work at a college? Wife works at a college as an placement officer, so maybe we could get a really good discount?

If it's an FE college then she'll need to phone up, but she should get a discount.

If you get her to click on this link from her work machine it will tell her if she can access it or not (IIRC different unis get slightly different discounts - departments with certain tech needs get higher discounts but the average is about 14%).

Bottom line is yes she should be able to.

I don't think it's possible but I'm not 100% certain. Maybe try in the Apple Store itself when they have refurbed machines on display. I think the logic is that you're already getting a discount so it's unlikely. Doesn't hurt to ask I suppose.

As for Quidco I think you just do it like normal - access the site from Quidco.

I'll be trying it when the Santa Rosa MacBooks come out so I'll let you know, although that might be a while.

Hi,

Anyone know of any technical or other reason why it wouldn't be a good idea to take advantage of the favourable exchange rate and buy one in the states? Even comparing Apple's US and UK websites the saving is over £200 on the black one and almost £200 on the white one. My sister is visiting from California in a few weeks should I ask her to bring me one?

I would be grateful for your advice.

Thanks

I would check if Apple UK would honour the warranty. They obviously want you to buy the one here for £200 more.
