I see people are claiming that students shouldn't be disappointed, as Apple is still giving them something extra which they should be grateful for. I suppose they should grateful... but a $100 voucher is absolutely nothing compared to a $250 iPod Touch that Apple has given out in previous years. It's disappointing to those who were anticipating the same iPod that previous students have received, and it ESPECIALLY hurts when Microsoft has stepped UP their game by giving out a free Xbox 360 with their computers.

Am i the only one who thinks this is paltry? Only $100/£65 and you can't even use it towards hardware. You have to go to one of the stores and feed Apple an extra 30% :rolleyes:
Such stingy, BS marketing. Glad i've never taken this promo seriously anyway.

Terrible offer, frankly. I dont care what anyone says. Microsoft are offering a far greater value of product - both in terms of worth and enjoyment - in the xbox, with computers that cost far less than a Mac.
I think it's legitimate to feel somewhat let down by this.

People Here wouldn't be complaining as much if they saw next year's promo:
"2012 Back To School Promotion: Get a free Thank You card from Steve Jobs with the purchase of $2,000 or more."
It looks something like this:
"Thanks."
- Steve
:rolleyes:

Good Deal for Apple, since they're getting back 30% of that "discount" anyway....

When you buy a computer through the education store is there any difference in the computer or the use of it, like there is when you buy student versions of software?
Thanks
No, it's exactly the same computer.

I am wondering how many people on here complaining about this promo are actually students. I wish Apple would make it a bit more work to actually prove you are a student. I think a lot of people abuse the student discount and Apple knows this, hence why you no longer see discounts on iPods and other things.
It is 2011, how many students don't have an iOS product? Apple has seen that many people just turn right around and sell the BTS iPod online afterward, hence causing Apple to lose a sale.
I like that the free giftcard can be used in any of Apple's content stores, including the iBookstore. Sure, the lack of a free iPod is disappointing, but I think most people could get some decent usage out of the free card, or just sell the card online for $70-$75.
Still the best deal is Amazon if you aren't wanting to customize anything...
