Apple store discount - Possible?

HoneyBadger · 17 Jan 2020 at 19:08

Has anyone asked and received any form of discount at any of the Apple stores?

I ask as Mrs HB and I need new phones, her iPad Pro is quite well used and isn’t as responsive as it once was, as such we’re looking on replacing that too.

1 tablet, 2 phones and some accessories are coming out at circa £3.7k (frightening) but what do you think would be our chances of asking for a discount?

I realise to some that’s not a lot, the Mac PC can easily exceed £10k but just wondered if anyone had any success in securing a discount.

Cheers.

I’ll ask them anyway, don’t ask, don’t get but ultimately it is what it is! Cheers for the fast replies!

Hadn’t considered the refurb as I didn’t know that was an option.

As it turns out, MrsHB works for someone who offers a discount scheme. Having looked through the offers we can get 8% discount with John Lewis, 10% off with Curry’s PC World and 5% with Argos so we’re going to use the 10% option.

We’ll save over £300 and we’re happy with that.

Yeah, we went to PC world for the IPad which was £40 cheaper than Apple and using the awards scheme with my wife’s work we got just over £100 off.
Same scenario with the phones, but they were priced the same as Apple but still got just over £100 off each device. With accessories we saved about £350 which was good going.
