Amazon Gold Box 5% Off Trick: Apple Macbook Pro for $1452, Macbook Air for $1654
Apple released new generation of MacBook a couple days ago. Amazon has slashed its price on "previous" generation of MacBook and offers rebates as well.
Here's a trick outlined by rabidrobin at SlickDeals
- Create a new account
- Go to the product page for an applecare for macbook pro
- scroll down until you find the "I Own it" checkbox, and check it
- At the top of the screen, click on Recommendations
- Go through the list of 20-30 or so recommended items and click "Not Interested" for the ones that aren't macbook pros
- Look in your goldbox, I was able to buy the mac pro 2.2 ghz today but sometimes it may take overnight
- Click on add to Cart and you get 5% off!
I tried the trick for two days. Here are the offers I've got in gold box:
- Yesterday
- Apple MacBook MB062LL/B 13.3" Laptop (2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 1 GB RAM, 120 GB Hard Drive, 8x SuperDrive) White for $1086.8 - $75 rebate = $1011.8. Note that this is the last generation of MacBook.
- Today
- Apple MacBook Pro MA895LL/A 15.4" Laptop (2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2 GB RAM, 120 GB Hard Drive, DVD/CD SuperDrive) for $1602.17 - $150 rebate = $1452.17. Note that this is the last generation of MacBook Pro. See here for a comparison of the two generations.
- Apple MacBook Air MB003LL/A 13.3" Laptop (1.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 2 GB RAM, 80 GB Hard Drive) for $1704.3 - $50 rebate = $1654.3. This is the latest generation of MacBook Air.
All have free shipping. These are very good deals cause it's pretty hard to get discounts on Apple products.
To succeed in using this trick, you really need a new Amazon account or an account that has no purchase history. So when you tell Amazon that you already own some Apple products, you can trick Amazon into recommend a MacBook to you in gold box(It's called Today's Deal after you login).
You should hurry up to order one because these are hot items on Amazon.
