    Would it be better to deal with Shopback or buy the 20x points for Apple Giftcards and purchase the devices from there.

    • BargainsGrabber on 09/01/2024 - 09:50

      Why not both?

      Add those gift cards to your Apple wallet balance and based on previous deals from Cashrewards, it stacks

      They’re not considered as using gift cards at checkout as you’re using the previously loaded balance by paying with Apple wallet

      • The Alphanumeric on 09/01/2024 - 11:02

        How do you know this? Surely the "store credit" exemption applies

  • GordonR on 09/01/2024 - 09:51

    • missyu on 09/01/2024 - 10:18

      Clearly, they want us to buy iPads :(

      • BennyHe2018 on 09/01/2024 - 10:32

        Will consider ipad Air 12.9 if they release at a reasonable price

    Surprised that the MacBook Pro M3 are not excluded.

    • mrtimn on 09/01/2024 - 10:35

      They are excluded on CashRewards, wonder if it's just they haven't added it to the listing?

  • mrtimn on 09/01/2024 - 10:43

    Just FYI, the Woolies promo doesn't start until tomorrow, so you can only use the Coles 20x points deal before this cashback expires

  • mrtimn on 09/01/2024 - 10:45

    They've just updated their exclusion list:

    These items are not eligible for Cashback:

    AirPods Pro (1st Gen) iMac (Retina 5k 27-inch), Apple Pro Display XDR, BOSE products, iTunes, Trade-in-parts, Gift Cards, Gift Wrap, Apple Developer Programs, Shipping and AppleCare products purchased.
    MacBook 14-inch & 16-inch featuring M2 Pro and M2 Max, Mac mini with M2 and M2 Pro, iPhone 14 Pro/14 Pro Max, iPhone 13 Pro Max/ 13 Pro (incl Green finishes), iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 11.
    Apple Watch Series 7, Apple Watch SE (Previous Model), Apple Watch Series 3, Mac Studio.
    Purchase items using Employee Purchase Program.

    • evasive on 09/01/2024 - 11:15

      So 14” M3/M3Pro are fine?

    • O O on 09/01/2024 - 12:51

      and Apple Series 9 is eligible?

  • bdawg138 on 09/01/2024 - 10:48

    Sorry this is a dumb question. But I have a question about the following

    “This Cashback deal is not valid together with:

    Any Gift Card, Voucher or store credit purchase
    Any Gift Card or Voucher redemption
    Vouchers or Promo codes not featured on our platform”

    How are we able to redeem/use the Coles and Woolies Apple gift cards if it says it’s not valid? Sorry for the dumb question, just want to jump on it and buy a Mac!

  • evasive on 09/01/2024 - 10:55

    So is there a cap on the amount of cashback and will it work with 14” m3 MacBook Pro?

    AOC store ok?

  • evasive on 09/01/2024 - 11:15

    Any cap on the amount? Any cap on the amount of purchases per account? Missing important info

  • hakiu on 09/01/2024 - 11:38

    Wondering if the Mac Mini with M3 will be announced this month. If so, will it be eligible for the higher education promotion in 2024?

  • icemanmelb on 09/01/2024 - 12:13
    +2

    Can someone point to me where are the exclusions and what the limit is? I understand they might change the conditions by 5pm.

    I just want to know if the MacBook Pro m3 is eligible if I purchase with Apple Gift Cards

  • bargain ben on 09/01/2024 - 12:45

    Rather than put a sh!t ton of exclusions, they should just list what this offer DOES include…

    • BigPeeper on 09/01/2024 - 13:58

      there are less products excluded than included

  • letslightafire on 09/01/2024 - 16:20

    I am wanting to get the M3 Max… It isn't listed on the exclusions… it does say:

    "These items are not eligible for Cashback:

    No mention of MacBook Pro 16" with m3 max… Just go ahead and try? See what happens? They don't have an online chat to confirm

    Is this just a case of them not updating their terms or pasting the wrong ones?

    Cashrewards is clearer - they state no MacBook Pro 16"

    • FrugalNotStingy on 09/01/2024 - 17:36

      So is using gift cards towards the purchase ineligible for cashback?

      • PAFC1870 on 09/01/2024 - 17:50

        Shopback t&c's from their website -

        Any exceptions will be at the store's discretion

      • letslightafire on 09/01/2024 - 17:52

        I would try adding the gift cards to your Apple ID first. Maybe that works?

        That is assuming of course that they accept MacBook m3 purchases (my case)

        • FrugalNotStingy on 09/01/2024 - 18:41
          +1

          But isn’t the maximum amount one can load to their Apple balance is $4999? Not enough to buy the Mac that I want…

          • letslightafire on 09/01/2024 - 20:07

            @FrugalNotStingy: yes but when you purchase I have been told you can use the Apple balance plus up to 8 gift cards … if you have $500 loaded on each that will make $4999 + $4000 = a beast of a machine

  • evasive on 09/01/2024 - 17:26

    Terms still don’t mention m3 MBPs or a $ cap. So assuming uncapped 8% and placed a couple of orders :)

    You get 20% off AppleCare too

    • Lantanan on 09/01/2024 - 18:19

    • vihand on 09/01/2024 - 18:24

      Won't see it on the app but you will see it on the website version.

        Thanks for clarifying

      • FrugalNotStingy on 09/01/2024 - 18:43

        I clicked on the link from the offer email and this is the exclusion list.

        Cashback exclusions

        * iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max.

        * Any exceptions will be at the store's discretion

        It did not mention MBP 14 or 16 inch and yes, using gift cards or balance should be ineligible for cashback.

        • icemanmelb on 09/01/2024 - 19:24

          Well then I'm going do a refund if that's the case

          • FrugalNotStingy on 09/01/2024 - 19:41

            @icemanmelb: What did you order and did you use gift cards/balance?

            I have loads of GCs and was planning to get a M3 MPB but I might give it a crack to see if I will get the cashback. Even if we wait for Cashrewards for a new deal, it will most likely be capped (say $150 max) and M3 MPB might be excluded.

            • icemanmelb on 10/01/2024 - 03:46

              @FrugalNotStingy: Ordered last night with mixed of Apple Gift Cards and tiny amount of credit card. The terms didn't mention any caps so will find out in 7 days time although I've put in a support help.

  • keno on 09/01/2024 - 20:33

    Looks like the T&C's have been updated

    This Cashback deal is not valid together with:

    Promos or Vouchers not featured on ShopBack

    Is this cashback available with the cashback from Apple Edu store?

    • PAFC1870 on 09/01/2024 - 20:53

      Im guessing the T&C's you are quoting above are from the app. If you go to the shopback website it shows the current T&C's

      This Cashback deal is not valid together with:

      Any Gift Card, Voucher or store credit purchase

        latest on the website says

        Promos or Vouchers not featured on ShopBack

        Think the use of giftcards is ok and shopback promo says save on mac or ipad for uni. Plus get a free giftcard.

        It would be good if this was confirmed by shopback

          I wish a Shopback rep was here to answer our questions. The exclusion list is too ambiguous.
          I placed my order as I don’t want to wait till the last minute. Worst case is I’ll cancel my order or request a refund if I don’t get my cashback.

  • PAFC1870 on 09/01/2024 - 21:34

    Your right, seems like they have updated the terms on the website to match the app. I have asked on the shopback savers community on face book. If i hear back in time i will post here.

    • keno on 09/01/2024 - 22:04

      alot of people including myself have been waiting for this cashback. Just bit the bullet and purchased.

      • FrugalNotStingy on 09/01/2024 - 22:08

        Absolutely. Uncapped cashback + bonus Apple GC at the same time is hard to come by.

        • keno on 09/01/2024 - 22:14

          plus coles wollies points equivalent to 10%

          • FrugalNotStingy on 09/01/2024 - 22:25

            @keno: I used the gift cards that I hoarded from last year’s 15% off deal. Can’t complain if Shopback does honour the cashback.

      • PAFC1870 on 09/01/2024 - 22:22

        Yep, as have I. Fingers crossed it all works out.

        • FrugalNotStingy on 09/01/2024 - 22:33

          Do report back when you receive a cashback notification email. My order has an ETA of end of Jan/early Feb.

              The only thing that still concerns me is whether the M3 MBP is eligible for cash back.

              • PAFC1870 on 11/01/2024 - 07:35

                @FrugalNotStingy: My cashback has just shown up in shopback as tracked.

                • FrugalNotStingy on 11/01/2024 - 11:24

                  @PAFC1870: Did you use gift cards or Apple account balance for your purchase?

                  • PAFC1870 on 11/01/2024 - 12:07

                    @FrugalNotStingy: I used Gift cards for my purchase. Fingers crossed they honour it. The question was asked on facebook shopback savers community if giftcards were ok and it was confirmed by shopback that they were. I clicked through the Apple education store link on shopback which didnt exclude gift cards in their T&C's. Mine has tracked as $102.47 which is under what it should be, hopefully it gets adjusted later.

                    • FrugalNotStingy on 11/01/2024 - 12:23

                      @PAFC1870: I am quite confident that they will honour it but a bit worried that the order might not get tracked because it will take around 2 weeks to arrive. I am thinking of cancelling my order and reorder via Cashrewards. I had good experience with CW’s Apple cashback in the past but then again, I find CW misses tracking more and more recently and Shopback have upped their game after that data breach incident a few years ago. Shopback never missed a track for me.

                      The cashback amount for this order is quite high so I don’t want to see it messed up.

                      I think the lower than expected cashback amount you’ve got has the $240 bonus giftcard taken into account.

      • vihand on 09/01/2024 - 22:27

        Yep, just pulled the trigger and fingers crossed.

        • slipperypete on 10/01/2024 - 19:21

          • FrugalNotStingy on 10/01/2024 - 19:40

            @slipperypete: Not sure about Shopback but from my experience with Cashrewards, the transaction only gets tracked once the order is shipped or picked up.

          • vihand on 10/01/2024 - 23:03

            @slipperypete: Not yet. Still waiting.

                • icemanmelb on 11/01/2024 - 08:51

                  @FrugalNotStingy: I've already collected my macbook pro 14 m3Pro so it's showing up now. Not sure if you have collected your BTO.. though they take a little while?

                    @icemanmelb: My order (M3 Max) is still processing as it is a BTO configuration. ETA is 24/1-29/1.
                    I think I will get the cashback and if I don’t, then the only reason is it didn’t track properly.
                    Enjoy your Mac!

    Any Gift Card or Voucher redemption"

  • dockersrule on 11/01/2024 - 01:11

    So, based on the above information, using Apple Gift cards should be good to purchase a Macbook pro 14 M3pro?

    Or should I load the gift cards onto my Apple account balance?

    Re - Applecare+ 20% off included in the promo

    I called up Apple support yesterday and spent a while on the phone. At first they told me that you cannot use gift cards to purchase but upon querying this I was told that we can use gift cards in store (I was asked for my location).

    Today I went into the Apple Store in Brisbane and they told me:

    1. The 20% off promo can only be purchase IN STORE (I thought this could be done online or via System Preferences)
    2. Gift cards are not allowed even in person.

    I just received an email from them to confirm this as well.

    Does anyone have recent experience with this? Is it correct that the promo cannot be purchased online or from our devices?
