<p>So I saw this deal on apple.com but unfortunately, it's for current college students or about-to-enter-college students. I'm going to be a senior in h.s., so I obviously don't "qualify".</p>
<p>However, have any of you used this deal before? [I know they had something similiar last year too] How do they check that you're really going to/attending a college, esp if you buy it online? Also, how fast did you receive the rebate?</p>
<p>Thanks!(:</p>
<p>You probably need to have a [your college].edu email address to qualify. They have the same deal every year.</p>
<p>lol i got the deal a week ago and i'm about to be a senior in high school. Honestly they are eager to make a sell and really could careless how old you are...o and online works too,i went to the store,it's quicker</p>
<p>@ james-
so they didn't ask for some confirmation or anything?</p>
<p>bump !</p>
<p>which ipod model do you get?</p>
<p>either ipod touch or ipod nano (the one w/ screen)
you get up to $299 rebate back for the ipod, so you can buy one w/ more GB but just pay for the rest. </p>
<p>soo.. does anyone know HOW they confirm your college status? (if they even do check...)</p>
<p>In the store, they check by seeing your college ID card and putting your name/university/ID# into Apple's system. If you are just an admitted student, bringing in the admission packet/letter will usually suffice. I'm not sure about online, as I always go to the Apple Store to buy my stuff.</p>
<p>apple.com does not check, but they do in store. In store you need a school id and a govt issues one.</p>
<p>alright.
thanks!
i think i'll just buy it from online then, haha. do you know how fast you get the rebate?</p>
