Greetings everyone, I reached out to TA to see if there were any expected increases recently to combine with the current Airpods deal at Apple and he advised of this great offer :)

Another great increase for Apple, and an awesome addition with the inclusion of the education store for further discounts.

Even better is that heaps of SKUs have now been cleared for Cashback, including the M1 Macbook, iPhones, iPads and other items.

If you're looking to purchase multiple items, I'd recommend to make separate purchases and click through CR each time just in case you want to return one.

Education Store Cashrewards Link

Terms:

  • IMPORTANT - These products & services are ineligible for cashback until further notice: AirPods Max, HomePod Mini, 8th generation iPad, updated 27-inch iMac, Mac Pro (console), Pro Display XDR, Bose products, Gift Cards, Gift Wrap, iTunes, Shipping, Apple Developer Programs, AppleCare products purchased individually or after the applicable product has been shipped. (Exclusions updated 22/02/21).

  • Apple sells and ships products to end user customers only; you may not purchase for resale. Eligible only to a customer for up to five (5) units per eligible product, except iPhone, in which case only two (2) units within a thirty-day (30-day) period are eligible.

  • Cashback is ineligible on purchases made via the EPP (Employee Purchase Program).
  • Cashback is eligible on the purchase of Apple refurbished products.
  • Cashback is issued by Cashrewards, not Apple.
  • Cashback tracks to member accounts between 2-7 days after you receive confirmation from Apple that the product has been shipped.
  • Information on Education pricing on Mac computers and selected accessories (for members that are eligible based on Apple's T&Cs): After clicking 'Shop Now', navigate via the Education link in Apple's footer menu before adding items to cart.

This stacks perfectly with Buy a Mac or an iPad for Uni and Get Bonus AirPods 2 (Or Upgrade to Airpods Pro for $150) @ Apple Education Store, some examples of pricing:

Item Price RRP Free Airpods?
13-Inch Macbook Air M1 Chip 256gb $ 1,439.00 $ 1,599.00 Yes
13-Inch Macbook Air M1 Chip 512gb $ 1,789.00 $ 1,949.00 Yes
13-Inch Macbook Pro M1 Chip 256gb $ 1,849.00 $ 1,999.00 Yes
13-Inch Macbook Pro M1 Chip 512gb $ 2,149.00 $ 2,299.00 Yes
iPad Air 10.9-Inch 64gb $ 829.00 $ 899.00 Yes

      This is the deal with OzBargain. Buy something when the price is good, and then see an even better deal later on. Without OzBargain there would be blissful ignorance of a lower price hahaha

      Mac mini doesn’t come with free air pods?
      Why did you choose the mini and not the Air?

      • mattachino on 23/02/2021 - 09:31

        It's for a client. Yeah, spewing no air pods with the mini.

  • DoctorCalculon on 22/02/2021 - 21:19

      • DoctorCalculon on 22/02/2021 - 22:54

        Damn!

        I have never seen this happen before. Latest generation Apple devices always used to get excluded from this type of deals in the past.
        This is way better than buying a plan decoupled iPhone 12 Pro from 3scammers. 😜

        Just double checking - iPhone 12 Pro Max will also be included?

        Thank you, OP.

          Definitely something rare lol. But 100%, everything except for the exclusions above is included for cashback. So all iPhone models are included (as of today).

  • cloud68 on 22/02/2021 - 21:41

    I apologize if it’s obvious for some. How can I be eligible for Apple education store?

    • Sheng on 22/02/2021 - 21:46

      To be eligible you need current proof of enrolment or have signed up for student beans as they allow you to maintain "Student status for 3 years"*.

      Though you don't need anything to actually buy from Apple Edu… but if your just the unlucky one to get at audited randomly they will charge you the difference on your card since it click and collect only or delivery.

      *it got removed recently lol

      • lordra on 22/02/2021 - 23:16

        Why can't we use a card that's about to expire, or tell the bank that you lost the card so they'll send you a new one with new numbers?

      • Killua on 23/02/2021 - 00:13

        If they audit, will they request the student card to be sent through email or will i be asked when i click & collected instore?

        Depends on your usage, but the M1 Air is 95% as good as the Pro, for $400 less.

        • Ozymandias on 22/02/2021 - 23:53

          This. Unless you’re consistently running pro apps, you won’t miss the fan and extra core on the Pro. Better off upgrading to 16GB RAM.

            @Ozymandias: Even the 16GB is pretty useless … (maybe worth it for virtualization and extensive movie work) … I have just a 8GB (coming from a 32GB machine) and it's absolutely fine. Rather save the money and upgrade faster.

              @mini_wombat: For others wondering what the performance of these M1 laptops are like…

              I have a spec'd out MacBook Pro 16" INTEL - ordered 6 months ago and a new MacBook Air M1 8GB. The M1 Air (1/4 the price) in most respects kills the old laptop. Any apps optimised for the M1 (macOS, zipping, transcoding, video editing, or anything with a M1 native app) blow my mind. It's amazing the air is so light, slim, and seriously generations above the MacBook Pro I spent 6K on last year.

              And the battery on this thing is seriously amazing.

              • EnergicAU on 23/02/2021 - 03:43

                @pro: I just went through hours of reviews to see if the air or the pro was worth it …
                I ended up with the base air instead and hopefully video editing is gonna be buttery smooth in fcpx vs my 2017 MacBook Pro!

        • congo on 23/02/2021 - 08:26

          Thanks all. Looks like Air is better value.

  • Sheng on 22/02/2021 - 22:01

      It might still track as per the following guideline if it took 3/4 weeks to ship:

      Cashback tracks to member accounts between 2-7 days after you receive confirmation from Apple that the product has been shipped.

      • RED27APPLE on 23/02/2021 - 00:08

      If you are buying from the Apple EDU store, other than the 8% off what additional student discounts would you be entitled to?

      It didn't show up earlier immediately after the purchase but now it is showing for me as well.

      If you check the confirmation email from Apple they might charge the Airpods $249 and then credit the iPad $249.

      • interfreak on 23/02/2021 - 18:18

        Airpods have shipped, still a pending $249 charge on my CC.

        • DarkOz on 23/02/2021 - 18:43
          +3

          Yeah my guess is that they might worry that you keep the airpods and cancel the ipad air after receiving it. When they ship the ipad air they would then charge the difference. Hope that makes sense. Just don’t open the airpods until the price is right. You can always ask for a full refund by returning the original items untouched.

          • interfreak on 23/02/2021 - 21:25

            @DarkOz: Cashrewards have tracked only the AirPods as well so far ($11.32}…

    Any thoughts on the memory? Worth paying more to upgrade to 16GB? For example on the Macbook Air M1.

    • interfreak on 23/02/2021 - 08:26

      From all the reviews I've seen (and there's been a LOT), 8GB of RAM on the M1 is plenty for general use, and even heavy use.

    • zeno on 23/02/2021 - 08:49

      Always good to future proof. You’ll be using this machine for many years.

    • drillvoice on 23/02/2021 - 12:54

      Update: based on these comments and a reddit thread, I've decided to stick to 8GB. $270 doesn't seem like too much but from what I can tell 8GB really will be ample. I'm not planning to do any far-out usage.

  • GreyMann on 23/02/2021 - 08:34

    Does click and collect affect the cashback?

    • DarkOz on 23/02/2021 - 08:51
      +1

      Click and collect doesn't affect the cashback. I have done it for the last 8% promotion for an iPhone 11 and got the cashback already. However, they might check for your student ID on the spot and that's why I elected for delivery.

      • DoctorCalculon on 23/02/2021 - 11:29

        your student ID on the spot and that's why I elected for delivery.

        Are you saying there is no check whatsoever when ordering online (with postal delivery) from the Apple EDU Store? 🤯

        • DarkOz on 23/02/2021 - 16:58

          I heard that they might do an audit by contacting you to verify your student ID but you don’t have to pick up the call or reply the email, right? The worst thing to happen is the purchase gets cancelled.

          • Goondocker on 23/02/2021 - 22:37

            @DarkOz: The purchase isn’t cancelled. If student ID cannot be verified during the audit, I believe they charge your original payment method an additional amount to make up the difference to full price.

            • DarkOz on 23/02/2021 - 23:41

              @Goondocker: I doubt they would do that. There is nothing to stop the customer from seeking a full refund if they do. That would be very bad business for Apple.

  • TanyaDD on 23/02/2021 - 08:35

            @doweyy: Beauty, cheers mate.
            Only a $30 saving ($1,099) (& $30 saving if I upgrade the RAM too). So instead of $1,400 it's $1,340 delivered (then $67 cashback if that works out). TGG had the base M1 mini for $999 a while ago too.

          Yeah, I thought the same, from that link if you Mac from the top menu and then click mac and mac mini you should see the EDU prices.
          256GB - $1069
          512GB - $1369
          Or try this link: https://www.apple.com/au-hed/shop/buy-mac/mac-mini

  • AP7 on 23/02/2021 - 11:02

    How do the cashback exclusions work? If I were to get an iPhone 12 Pro and a HomePod Mini, would they calculate cashback on the iPhone or invalidate the whole transaction because HomePod is included?
