I went to Apple.com and looked for student discounts. The fine print says its for students, teachers and parents of students. Well, I have a kid in school. It's only $20, but $20 is now in my pocket. Besides Jersey took it's share via tax.

No, I did not represent myself. Fine print in offer says deal is extended to "parents of students". I'm a parent of a student. Also not an '83 or '85 hire. I was in the Military back then serving my country. I was letting my fellow "APC's" know that they could save a few bucks.

Actually if your a veteran or active duty, google that and Apple and it will take you to a mil/fed employee discount page which is the exact same prices as the "student/educator" page.

Thanks for the information. That’s good to know. Every penny counts when you get to keep it.

All Vets... even if you did not retire... are allowed to buy tax free from the Exchanges now... iPads (when on special) are really good deals.

Should have ordered it online and set up a pickup point at an Apple store in a lower/no sales tax state. NJ thanks you :eek:

Unfortunately, I live on the boarder on NJ/NYC... The closest Apple store is WTC. De Blasio has higher taxes than Jersey, so I caved and handed Jersey $54 over NYC $76 in tax. I did get my kid one and had it delivered to Portland (No tax) and saved on his.
