Our Verdict
This is a nice double stack with the built-in student discount from the Apple EDU store, combined with the gift card deal. A third stack would be if you pay with Apple gift cards purchased with some sort of discount or fuel points.
This deal is not just for student accounts — it also works for educators and parents of students (if buying for the student).
Be sure to compare prices to Amazon (affiliate link) and other retailers since buying direct from Apple is usually more expensive. That said, with the double stack you’ll most likely come out ahead purchasing direct.
