I bought a new MacBook at Best Buy to get their 18 month financing. Loving the 13" MacBook Pro. The Core i5 makes that thing scream! I picked it up for $1140 because they had some sale and then realized I should have just done student pricing at $1100. Then Apple came out with the $100 to spend in the app store. So I had to go back to Best Buy to get some monies back.
Best Buy told me that they were doing $100 Best Buy gift cards to match the promotion, however, you couldn't get the student price of $1100 if you did that and you'd have to pay retail ($1200). What a rip off. But since I bought mine on sale they said they'd honor that AND give me a gift card. So I did that but the girl at customer service decided it would be easier for her to do a price match and just put a $100 refund on my best buy credit card instead of trying to do a gift card.
So in the end I got a brand new 13" Macbook Pro for $1040 with 18 months 0% financing! Love it!
