    Regarding buying from John Lewis, I am buying this laptop during Apple's back to school sale. Between the £100 education discount, £120 gift card and £100 savings from being able to buy the exact configuration I want, it would be cheaper to buy AppleCare and get coverage for 3 years rather than buy at John Lewis.

    To the OP - S75 would mirror your rights under the CRA to your card issuer and so the real question is if you think you'd likely have an easier time proving your cracked screen after 18 months was a manufacturing issue to AmEx or Apple and if this is worth giving up 0.5% cashback?
    I've had good experiences with Apple repairing things for free when I was potentially at fault so I think I'd have an easier time with them than Amex (but at 18 months, surely it would be an uphill fight either way that I didn't crack the screen). But I take your point that .5% of £1379 is only £6.90
