Members' discount - Apple

HotUKdeals Is always worth checking. I bought my iPad from curry’s eBay store, with a damaged box, which meant it was missing the cellophane & had a slight wrinkle on one corner, otherwise completely unopened.
My company staff benefit supposedly included Apple Store discounts.. you went via the company portal & it looked like some fantastic deals were to be had.. no they were just displaying the prices sans Vat.. ok, so they were discounting the ALL cases, all except the one I wanted. Waste of fricken time

Ive bought a few things from here over the years and I have never been able to tell that the product was not new. I am typing this on an M2 MacBook that I bought shortly after the model was released so you can sometimes even get the latest products

Retailer margins on Apple are tiny, so if you see anything more than about 5% off RRP on new stuff, bite their arm off.

IIRC, 8% did seem to be a common corporate discount rate but mainly off accessories rather than shiny-new-stuff such as macbooks, iphones. As per Tom then - don't hold your breath.

+1 for the official Apple refurb shop.

Check Costco. Just got £100 off a 16 pro

Thanks all - so I was dreaming about there being a STW discount?

Anyone know anything about the academic discounts?  Would they be just for computers rather than watches?

Linked to Unidays now - so if my mind serves me correctly - you'll need an academic email address
