Apple Back-to-School Promo

Apple shows off its soft side by officially rolling out its largest back-to-school promotion ever by the company, giving away free 8GB iPod touch to both students as well as educational staffers who buy a qualifying Mac. In reality, this promotion involves a $299 rebate that is the same price as the aforemendtioned iPod touch, although the slightly better off can always top up that amount to pick up 16GB and 32GB models if they like. Alternatively, participants can also choose to receive a free 8GB iPod nano if they like, but if I were you, I’d settle for the iPod touch instead. If you’re wondering how to qualify, you’ll need to make sure that :-

The iPod and Mac system must be purchased at the same time and appear on the same receipt. Apple lists qualifying Mac systems as the MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac Pro. The Mac mini, previous-generation 17” iMac, Apple TV, iPhone, iPod shuffle, iPod classic, 4GB iPod nano, and refurbished products are not eligible. The products must be purchased from the Apple Online Store for Education Individuals, an Apple Retail Store, Apple Telesales, or an Apple Authorized Campus Store located in the 50 United States or the District of Columbia.

The promotion will end this September 15th or while stocks last, whichever comes first.
