AppleCare plus student pricing for MacBook Pro 14 in France after laptop purchase

Hello,

I’ve purchased a MacBook Pro M3 Pro just a few days back and I’m based in Paris. I know i can purchase Apple care plus until 60 days from purchase. However, I want to pay the student pricing since I’m a student in France. I want to the Apple Store in Paris and they said I can get student pricing only if I purchase AppleCare plus during the laptop purchase. It seems wrong since the Education store for Apple France says I can get a 20% discount on Apple care Plus for MacBook. Can someone please help out?

The discount is for the 3 year plan (paid in advance), not for the annual AppleCare+ option. The annual option is the same as for regular customers. To get AppleCare+ in an Apple Store, you will have to bring in the laptop and receipt/invoice for inspection.

Was the MacBook Pro purchased by you in the same country, also with edu discount?

Else contact Apple Support or Apple Store Support.

the agents who answer the telephone representing the Apple Online Store are the new customer service representatives. Ask them to assist you.

I would post the number, but I have quick and easy access ONLY to the US store. Follow the links at the bottom of the forum pages and you will be able to navigate to your local Apple Online Store representatives.

Yes, I do want to purchase the 3 year Apple Care Plus plan with a student discount. The laptop wasn’t purchased in France but Apple Care plus is international, so I should be allowed to add it with education pricing. Not sure why they denied it in store. Do you know if one is supposed to be able to access education pricing even after purchase?
