Can the $100 Mac App store credit for college students be claimed anytime?

I am planning to get a Mac Book Pro for college, but money is a little tight right now and I heard that Apple is coming out with a newer MBP around Christmas this year, and I plan on getting it then. The $100 for the App store sounds enticing, and I am hoping I wouldn't forfeit it by waiting until December/January to get a new MBP.

Hi g,
No one here knows Apple's plans, and if they do, they're not allowed to tell. You can look at past history and make a decision based on that, or you can just take your chances.

  • I bought my Mac with education pricing a week ago and missed the $100 Mac App Store promo

    Long story short, I bought my first Mac a week ago with Education Pricing, mainly because Apple marked their education site with a banner reading "Last Call for Apple Education Pricing." Lo and behold, I received an email from Apple this morning about a new promotion for those buying with Education Pricing getting a $100 credit to the Mac App Store if they buy between June 16, 2011 and September 20, 2011. Is there any way I can receive the $100 credit even though I bought a few days before the promotion started? I would have waited longer to buy if I hadn't seen the "Last Call" banner on the Education Pricing page.

    You can get a $100 education discount no matter when you buy it.  The email seemed to be just informaing you about the offer.  You can take your receipt into the Apple Store and they should be able to deduct the discount from your purchase.  If they are "rude" about it, then return your laptop and repurchase it with the discount.

  • I have received a $100 Mac app store gift card, can I use it on the Apple Store website to buy other products?

    I recieved a $100 Mac App Store gift card with the Back to School promo, and I was wondering if I could use it on the Apple Store website to buy another product.

    The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico, Spanish is my native tongue. I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
    The gift card is restricted to use in the Mac App Store and the iTunes Stores. It will not buy Apple hardware on the Apple Store website.

  • Mac App Store -- why can't I 'gift' Mac Apps? Gifting specific apps in the iTunes store is easy. This is not the case on the Apple Mac App Store.

    An alternative is to purchase an iTunes gift card that can be redeemed for apps in the Mac App Store.

  • I have $0.66 in the US Mac App Store and I want to change my country to Brazil. Unfortunately MAS keeps telling me that I want to spend all the money in my account before I can change my country.

    I have $0.66 in the US Mac App Store and I want to change my country to Brazil. Unfortunately MAS keeps telling me that I want to spend all the money in my account before I can change my country.

    You can't change countries whilst you have a balance. If you can't spend it then you can try contacting iTunes Support and ask them if they can remove the balance from your account so that you can change countries : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Is Mac App Store only for USA?

    I tried to sign in my ID and activate the account as per the steps set for first time user. However, when I comes to the PayPal part, it barred me from proceeding further. The error message was my PayPal was not registered in USA. Must the buyer have USA billing address? How can other countries user purchase app from your MAC App Store then?
    Regards,

    Usually you are restricted to making purchases from the iTunes Store, and so also the Mac App Store for your country of residence. So you cannot use a bank card or a PayPal account from Malaysia in the US Mac App Store or iTunes Store. Just as I cannot use Mexican accounts in the US stores.
    The only way that the system would allow you to make purchases in the US Stores from Malaysia would be if you have a US bank card or PayPal account and the billing address for the account is a US address. Even though this usually works I believe that it is actually a violation of the Terms of Use for the Apple Stores.

  • I can't download Mac App Store

    I can't download Mac App Store using OS X 10.6.8 following Apple's downloading procedure--the Mac App Store icon never appears in the dock or anywhere else!Mac App Store

    You don't update from 10.6.3 by using the App Store. You use Software Update for that. Then after using Software Update to get to 10.6.8, you'll have the latest version of the App Store.
    I don't see how this issue relates to your iPad.

  • I can't get mac app store on my mac!!

    I can't get mac app store on my mac!!

    The Mac App Store is part of 10.6.6 and newer. If you're using an Intel Mac, purchase Mac OS X 10.6 on DVD and then run Software Update. If you're using a PowerPC Mac, give up.

  • In the new mac app store how do you limit displayed applications only to os x applications.

    In the new mac app store how do you limit displayed applications only to os x applications. I do not have Iphone or ipad so all the phone junk is annoying and one cannot find the relevant software.

    The Mac App Store only has apps for Mac OS X. There are no iOS apps.
    The iOS apps for iPhones, iPods and iPads, are in the iTunes App Store.

  • HT4461 Can I buy an app from the US Mac App Store with a different currency? (I live in Brazil...)

    I'm willing to buy a MacBook Pro soon and am just curious if I can buy an app from the Mac App Store (U.S.) with a different currency (I live in Brazil, so the currency would be Brazilian Reais to Dollars.... or do I have to change accounts, the country and buy it from the Mac App Store (Brazil?)

    não amigão, a Mac App Store, e a iTunes Store só vendem em dólar pra nós, mesmo que moremos no Brasil, por isso somos "obrigados" a ter cartão de crédito internacional.
    No buddy, both Mac App Store and iTunes Store just sell apps with US Dollar currency for us, even we live in Brazil, this is why we must have International credit cards here.

  • What does the Mac App store mean for existing users of Aperture?

    I was wondering how the Mac App store will affect existing users of the software. I have purchased Aperture and upgrades since its launch but because I've not purchased through the App store, how will I gain access to future upgrades?
    When I go to the Aperture app in the store it shows as being installed but as I've not purchased it through the store, will I be eligible for future upgrades or will Apple expect me to purchase again?

    There is no way Apple can update Aperture 3 without offering that update to every user, regardless of where the app was purchased. So, expect that Aperture 3.1.2 or whatever will be available to you in some fashion.
    When the next paid Upgrade (to Aperture 4?) comes along, then we'll have to see what arrangements the offer.
