Apple Military Discount, Student Discount and Apple Card Offer

Apple is making it more affordable (and easier) for veterans and military to purchase their products. The retailer offers an Apple military discount, in addition to a student discount, and a way to purchase products interest-free with an Apple Card.

Military members and veterans will now receive discounted pricing on select Apple products year-round. The discount is available both online and in stores.

Officially coined the Veterans and Military Purchase Program, the discount is open to active duty members of the United States Military, National Guard, and Reserve. Immediate family members can also receive the discount as long as they live in the same household.

The Apple Student vs Military Discounts

As a service member or veteran, and a possible student, there are many options for you to get a discount using either a military discount at a retailer or by using the same retailer’s student discount. Sometimes, one discount is way better than the other.

Apple offers both an education discount for students, and a military discount for veterans and active military.

If you are interested in either one of these discounts, you might be wondering how the discounts compare to their regular prices. Here is a list of the different products, what the discount would be, and how much the regular price is, based on April 2022 prices.

The Apple Watch, iPhone, and iPad are not included as a part of this Apple Education discount.

(Please note pricing can change at any time. When ready to purchase please make sure to check the Apple website for current pricing.)

Apple Credit Card Interest-Free Offer

Apple is offering interest-free payments on certain apple products purchased with the Apple Credit Card. The Credit card is issued by Goldman Sachs Bank USA and is available to qualifying applicants in the United States.

What Does the Apple Card Offer?

The Apple Credit Card also offers 3% cash back on purchases of apple products. The 3% cashback does apply to purchases qualifying for the interest-free monthly installment plan and is credited right away.

Annual percentage rates (APR) for the Apple Credit Card vary and can range from 13.99 % to 24.99%. These APR rates as of October 1, 2022, per Apple’s website. Depending on your Apple Credit Card’s current APR this could be a great deal on Apple products.

Qualifying Products for Interest-Free Offer

Can You Purchase Online?

You can make purchases online or in stores with your Apple Credit Card.

It is important to note that taxes and shipping charges are not interest-free.

If you do not have an Apple Credit Card, you will need to apply for one.

Maintain Minimum Payment

You can pay online or through the Wallet App. Make sure payments are set up to pay the minimum installment payment due, payments below that amount are subject to applicable interest rates. The minimum payment is the amount that needs to be paid each month to keep your account current. If you choose to pay more toward your monthly installment balance, it does not reduce the monthly installment minimum payment for the following month.

Existing Balance

If the Apple Credit Card already has an existing balance, pay towards your Apple Credit Card balance as well as your monthly installment payments to avoid increasing interest payments on your existing balance.

You can learn more about Apple Card’s interest-free payment offer here.
