$100 off MacBook (student discount) + $100 BBY gift card? True or false?

Question

I've been hearing that in addition to the $100 off students get on Macbooks there is also an additional $100 Best Buy giftcard. Is this true or false? Why is the giftcard being offered and is it offered everywhere? Is it to price match the $100 app card Apple is offering?

Answer 1

This from their Terms and Conditions. It would appear that you would not be elligible to even purchase using the education store to obtain the afformentioned pricing/deal. I don't know why going into a physical Apple Store would relax the policy. That is, unless they simply "overlook" the policy.
