Schools just out so the last thing one wants to think about (except parents) is back to school. Apple rarely plays by the rules so if you want to grab a deal here is your chance.

Buy a Mac for college, get a $100 App Store Gift Card — and also save with education pricing. Or buy an iPad or iPhone and get a $50 card.

You’ll receive your App Store Gift Card with your purchase when you buy a qualifying product from one of these stores:

Apple Online Store for Education
Apple Retail Store
Apple Authorized Campus Store



To qualify for the App Store Gift Card and get education pricing on a Mac, you must be a college student, a student accepted to a college, a parent buying for a college student, or a faculty or staff member from any grade level.

Frankly, I am not a fan of this idea. If you want to have a promotion I think everyone should get the same deal. But, here it is if you qualify.
