Someone told me that apple retail store doesnot accept "apple gift card" for paying the ipad, then can i buy an ipad at apple online store with an apple gift card?
The Jacksonville Apple store turned away a few cash customers yesterday at the 5 pm lineup. So I think they are serious about enforcing their no cash policy. I didn't see any gift card bearing people in line though.
I waltzed into my Best Buy today with 2 gift cards ($425), reward zone certificates ($100), cash ($100) and my amex (balance) and used all in combination with NO PROBLEM whatsoever and happily walked out with a 64gb 3g for me and a 32gb wifi for my parents.
This was after I called my local Apple Store and was told "one credit card only" to buy the iPad. When I asked if Best Buy had the same policy I was told, "I don't know or care what their policy is..this is our policy."
Yes, you can pay cash. Apple reversed its policy very recently after an incident in which a woman was turned away when she presented cash hit the media. All is wonderful again.
