Does it matter where you buy an iPad?
Sometimes target and walmart have $50 gift cards when you buy there.
If you buy outside of the apple store, can you still go to the genius bar.
If the iPad needs replacing, will the genius bar exchange, or do you have to go back to the original store?

I bought mine at a best buy - the closest apple store was over an hour away. My little $10 rewards points wasn't a huge selling point but did help when i bought the camera connection kit. I will say, when the port on my iPad messed up, I just took it back to best buy, it was within 90 days, they were going to send it in but then the computer told them to exchange it and I walked out with a brand new iPad fresh in the box. Had I taken it into an apple store all I would have gotten was a refurb. So as much as Best Buy annoys me, my experience with my iPad was a pleasant one.
Best Buy also has warranties you can buy that may/may not be better than Apple Care (have to read through the fine print and see how it shakes out for you).
I think my only negative thing for Best Buy was when I bought it I also got a screen protector, so after dropping $550+ they were still going to charge me $15 to install said screen protector. Didn't impress me but that was the only downside.
Many retailers have far more generous return policies than an APple store, although I would consider that $50 gift card....well it's only worth $50 is you have something to spend it on. So bear that in mind. (although it could get you a decent case 'for free')
They tried out an "Intel chip" cookie, but the dental claims made a second run of that impractical.
😁 Spellchecker not working??? Shouldn't that be Mental, not dental??? 😝
