Coupon Sources

Two to three times a year, Apple offers seasonal deals on its products. The easiest way to find out about these deals is to subscribe to Apple's free email list. There are many ways to do this. Just start browsing around the Apple site until you find somewhere to enter your email. You can also follow the link at the bottom of this page. You will very quickly start getting many email messages from Apple.

Though many deals are open to anyone, some are open to only certain groups of people. For example, you might need to be a student or an employee of a certain company. Often, being a student can get you a 5-10% discount. This goes a long way in expensive products, where this discount can amount to $250 or more. About a quarter of the year, Apple offers free iPods with Mac purchases for students. Some businesses subsidize purchases of iPhones for their employees with Apple as an intermediary.

Apple also offers discounts of about 30% for software purchased with a computer. This software includes iWork and MobileMe.

Another helpful thing offered is not necessarily an outright discount, but a great deal. If you bring in your old Windows computer when you buy a new one, the employees will transfer your old data onto your new Mac. You are also invited to attend free clinics on using your new computer.

Recycling is also something that earns a discount. When you recycle an old iPod, a new one is 10% off.

Coupon Policies

Though official policies are restrictive concerning the use of coupons, the actuality is that the policy on many other discounts is very lax. For example, it is very easy to get a discount for being a student. Though officially it is only for college students, you may be able to get it even if you simply have a high school student in your immediate family. This applies to multiple things.
