Will a BestBuy retail store match the education discount of another local retailer?

Good afternoon.
My wife is looking to get a Microsoft Surface Pro 3.  The local Microsoft store offers a 10% education discount (she'd faculty) on the system and the keyboard cover.  Would a local BestBuy store match this discount on these items?
As a secondary question, would the online store match as well?  I am just now seeing that my local store is out of stock on the specific model she is looking at.
Thanks!

Good afternoon Coronadoisdead,
Thank you for taking the time to connect with us on the forum.
We can match the lower price for an identical item that is being advertised by a local competitor and certain online competitors; however, we will not match competitor's program discount, such as an educational discount.  There are discounts that we offer to college students, but you need an .EDU email address in-order to be eligible.  I would encourage you to read over our price match guarantee by visiting the link below, which also contains a list of the online competitors that we match.
Best Buy Price Match Guarantee
I hope you have a great day, and let us know if you have any other questions!

  • Does the educational discount end?

    Hi guys just a quick question, i am looking at buying a mac with the education discount for uni, but this past week i have been in The Hague, Netherlands, and the new mac store that has opened there said that i will need to be quick because the educational discounts ends soon?
    Just wondering if someone could help clarify this because i have never heard of it ending, always thought it was all year round.
    Thanks, Jake.

    Jake, there are various forms of education discount offered by Apple.  One form is for students to buy hardware for the beginning of the school term, and those usually have a time limit.  Another is the discount offered to educators which remain available all year.  So, the store employee was probably giving you correct information for the discount they were offering to students.  You might try checking with the store manager to get the most accurate information on the term of the discount and see if there is an allowance for how long it takes to get the information from your university on computer needs.  Seems reasonable to press that the two should be connected.

  • The Educational Discount

    Hello,
    I might buy an Apple laptop for school, and I am a university student. Thus, I assume that I qualify for the educational discount.
    I was wondering if that discount is available if I place my order through the phone. How about if I go into one of the Apple stores (Toronto store)?
    Thanks,
    Abid H.

    Just for absolute clarification, here are the purchase terms:
    "The Apple hardware purchases above can be made either online, through an Apple Retail Store, or through your Apple Authorized Campus Store. Total product quantities remain the same regardless of where your purchase is made. The Apple Software purchases outlined above are only available through the online Apple Store for Education or through your Apple Authorized Campus Store."

  • Can I use the education discount to purchase a computer for my husband who is in school?

    I'd like to buy a computer for my husband who is in college. When I purchased my computer I used the education discount because I was in college at that time. I am wondering if I can use the education discount for purchasing a computer for him. I noticed that on the terms you need to agree to in order to use it you have to either be the student, faculty, or a parent. I was wondering if spouse counted.

    You need a valid .edu email address, IIRC.
    Since he is the student, he can make the purchase and get the discount.
    Won't work real well if you're planning on gifting the Mac.

  • Has the education discount changed in the UK?

    I was told by a friend recently that they bought a base level Macbook Pro using the Education discount and got 14% off.  However, looking today, the most I got off was £30.  Does any one know, has the discount changed?  Or am I just not looking in the right place?!

    Thanks for all the replies, I guess it is one of those quirks. I uploaded some of the images into Photoshop and the same clipping appeared in Camera Raw, thus it probably not LR Preference file corruption so I guess I didn't do the job right first time round!
    Perhaps you adjusted those images with a different rendering intent, or they simply have blown highlights that aren't really recoverable. When I see something like this in LR it was usually done on purpose, but for a forgotten reason......

  • Hi guys will i pay taxes for a MacBook Pro of I went the apple retail store not the online one ?

    Hi I wanted to buy a macbook but I have a question will I pay taxes on it if I went the retail store itself ? Because I heard that there are taxes for the online store

    Depends where the store is located. if it is in a state or country with no sales tax then there will be no sales tax. If it is located in a state or country with sales tax there will be sales tax.

  • I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store for the full amount, but  it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T

    Hello,
    I have an iPhone 4S 32Gb White AT&T, product part No. MC921LL/A, Serial No. C39GMLPWDTDC
    I bought this iPhone from Apple Retail Store (from Fifth Avenue, NY) for the full amount. Now it does not work with my SIM card only works with AT&T. I restored the phone several times, but I have not received "Congratulations your iPhone has been unlocked". Please activate my iPhone to work with different SIM cards
    Thanks,
    Best Wishes

    When did you buy it?
    Apple did not begin selling an unlocked version of the iPhone 4S in the US until 11/11/11. I believe it went on sale only through the online store at that time. I'm not sure if it's available at retail yet.
    What you purchased was a phone without a contract commitment. It is still locked to AT&T. AT&T will NOT unlock iPhones for any reason.  Return it and get your money back, then use that to purchase an unlocked phone.

  • Can I buy an unlocked iPhone 4S at retail stores in the US (Florida) or only online?

    Hi, I will be travellin to the US (Florida) in late January, and would like to know if I can buy an unlocked iPhone 4S at a retail store. I've tried buying it online, but it will only accept US credit cards.
    Thanks in advance! Alejo (from Argentina)

    It was my understanding that you could get an unlocked iPhone 4s in the US only through the online store.  I have since run across internet articles and forum posts that said some local Apples stores in the US can now sell you an unlocked iPhone 4s.  I would suggest that either you or a friend call the Apple store you plan on visiting to see if they will sell you an unlocked 4s.

  • Anyone get answers from apple support or retail stores about the mooing?

    i did a 'repair permissions' on my macbook and have not heard the mooing since but then again i have not used it much since then either.
    has anyone had apple support or a retail store address this issue directly?

    Reparing permissions didn't change anything for me. However, here are the CoreDuoTemp results for my black macbook:
    Mooing begins at 66C, gets more frequent at 67C.
    At temperatures above 69C, mooing stops.
    Might be different with yours!

  • Am I eligible for the Educational Discount under these conditions?

    Hello.
    I am currently attending college and will be graduating in March.  I would like to continue to use adobe products, but I'm not sure if I'll be eligible for the Education license. I would like to hold off for the release of CS6, but it doesn't look like it will be out before my March graduation date. My student ID shows as being valid until December of 2012 and I will have access to my .edu email.
    If CS6 comes out after March will I still be able to purchase the Creative Suite, Educational version?
    Thank you!
    Bo

    Ok... I spoke with two different reps to confirm. I graduate in March, but was told that I would be eligible for the educational program with my Student ID since it expires in December and I will still be able to use my .edu email. The second rep also told me that you are elligible 6 months from graduation. I don't know if I really believed that, but I'll pass that in my response.
    It would be nice if CS6 released in February so I wouldn't have to worry, but I think I'm going to stick it out and try for CS6. I primarily use photoshop for photography at school and I love photography as a hobby... CS6 seems to have some nice upgrades with Camera RAW support/features.
    Thanks for the support guys.

  • What documentation and what email do I send my educator ID to get the educational discount?

    Please help.  When I purchased my Creative Cloud license last week, I was told that I would be sent an email of what ID was needed and an email address of where to send the documentation for my education discount for Creative license.  I've been on the phone for over an hour several times today and never get connected.  Heard that your response time was over 2 hours.
    Please contact me at [email protected]  Thanks.

    Sign in at http://icloud.com with the new ID and password and confirm that your data is still all there.
    Then sign out in System Preferences>iCloud then sign back in with the new ID and password. Your data will disappear from your Mac when you sign out, but will reappear when you sign back in.

  • What happened to the Education Discount?

    Why is there no longer an education discount for the stand-alone version of Adobe Audition? I'm a radio/tv major college student and have been saving since August, when Audition was available for $149.99 with my college email address. Now the Education Store says there is no discount. I don't have the money right now to pay full price. Thanks Adobe.

    Adobe corporate don't read the U2U forums - it's no good complaining to us about this. If you're lucky, one of the developers might know the answer as to why; you'll have to wait and see...
