Apple Store Education Discounts and iPod 5G

yup, go to store (online) and on the right near the bottom you'll see educational promotions and educational discounts. you're looking for the discounts. i'm pretty sure you can't get the discount at the retail store.

I am here in the States (Georgia), and my local store accepted my edu. discount, showing a pay stub & drivers license.

Michael, here in Australia, or at least in the shop I went to in Canberra, they definitely told me that they could not offer me educational discount on the iPod or its accessories, or any other iPod-related hardware, such as the Nano for example. No problem if you buy online though, you will get the educational discount - obviously -since they advertise it.
Having said that, you might find that some Apple stores will offer you education discount on the iPod. The return policy varies from store-to-store, so it might be the same with regards to their application of ed. discounts. I guess you can only ask...

FYI, CompUSA has also honored the online discounts you're referring to. All I had to do was show my employee ID. So there's another option for you also Mike.

I'm assuming CompUSA is a reseller, in which case it is great but you are obviously talking about employee discounts. What about online education discounts? Would anyone know if resellers in the UK such as Dixons would give student discounts like the ones offered on the website?

To get the education discount online, you can only do this online from the education institute (i.e logon to the store from the school, college, university), otherwise it will not work. If she takes proof of her teacher status, she will be fine. I ordered ours from the online store via telephone, and used my wifes student ID and University name.

I have Purchased my iMac , Office and iPod......... from CompUSA (an Apple reseller) and had no problem using the discounts in all situations where either applied.It is just like going to the Apple Store. They will also do both. Lastly it is the Government employee discount which works the same as the teacher and student discount. Maybe you need to shop there before you form any opinion about their services.

I have bought iPods at our local Apple Store and been given the educator discount by presenting my faculty id. It isn't a problem.

Yeah the apple store in london does offer educational discounts i recieved one as i am student. you need to bring along some documents or teacher/student card showing you belong to that institute.

I have brought all my ipods and ibook from the apple retail store all u need to do is show your employee card to get the discount. I work for a university.

I got the discount and i didnt have to show anything!!!! we told him my mom was a teacher and he gave it to us...(she actually is though we just didnt have any proof)

it depends on the sale representative u get sometimes!!!
