Within 60 days. If you are buying the Mac from Best Buy (not my favorite place) It is probably more convenient to buy it directly from Best Buy at the same time as you buy the Mac. See the following from AppleCare+ - Mac - Apple


Purchase AppleCare+ with your new Mac. Or buy it within 60 days of your Mac purchase:


  • Online (requires you to verify your serial number and run a remote diagnostic)
  • At an Apple Store (inspection of Mac and proof of purchase are required)
  • By calling 800-275-2273 (requires you to run a remote diagnostic and provide proof of purchase)
