How to claim Apple Gift Cards during Black Friday?

I bought an iPad Air in early November. As part of Black Friday deals Apple is offering gift cards for similar devices. Can I get a gift card for my purchase since I bought it just a couple of weeks ago?

Apple's offers are not retrospective - and cannot be applied to a prior purchase.


If purchased directly from Apple, in most countries/regions you have up to 14-days to unconditionally return an undamaged/unwanted item for exchange or refund. Upon expiry of 14-days, this opportunity has been lost.


As such, if within 14-days, you might try to return your recent purchase for a refund - and purchase another. Be aware that Apple's Black Friday offer ends 2nd December.
