I love the sound of this $200 Apple Gift Card promotion for Black Friday
Apple is finally getting into the Black Friday sprit this year.
If you're someone who shops with Apple fairly frequently, then this Apple Black Friday deal is for you. Apple doesn't usually offer big discounts on its products for Black Friday, but this year it's rewarding its customers with Apple Gift Cards of up to $200 for future Apple purchases.
This Apple Gift Card sales event does not officially start until November 24 (Black Friday), so any early deals you spot might not be eligible for the promotion. The gift card amount also depends on which product you buy, with MacBook Black Friday purchases offering the maximum $200 gift card reward, and Apple accessories including the Apple Watch reaping the minimum $50.
Why not consider shopping for refurbished Apple tech instead this Black Friday? It will help you save money and the planet too. You can also trade in your old Apple products for a discount on any new purchases with the company.
Apple Gift Card event
$200 Apple Gift Cards
To get the highest possible $200 gift card from Apple, you'll need to purchase a MacBook Air. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like MacBook Pros are eligible for this promotion.
Note: we've spotted an inconsistency on the Apple website where it includes the Mac mini as an eligible purchase for the $200 gift card reward, but when you navigate to the Mac mini purchase page, a banner at the top says it's only eligible for the $100 reward. Until Apple clarifies this, we'll keep it in the $100 section for now.
MacBook Air 13-inch (M1, 2020) - from $999
The 13-inch Apple MacBook Air is one of our favourites, and we gave it a 5-star review when we tested it.
MacBook Air 13-inch (M2, 2022) - from $1,099
The MacBook Pro 13-inch (M2, 2022) model has upgraded performance, with an 8-core CPU and a 10-core GPU, which is two more than the GPU in the Apple M1 model.
MacBook Air 15 (M2, 2023) – from $1,299
Possibly the perfect MacBook for creatives, the MacBook Air 15 (M2, 2023) is one of the thinnest and lightest 15-inch notebooks you can get.
$100 Apple Gift Cards
To receive a $100 gift card from Apple, you'll need to make a purchase of either a Mac Mini or an iPad. This can be either an iPad Pro, Air, or Mini model, and includes the standard 10th-gen iPad too. Take a look at our iPad generations guide if you're having trouble deciding which model is the best for you.
Mac mini (M2,2023) - starting at $599
The Mac mini is a powerful Apple PC that can transform your workspace. You can get either the Mac mini M2, or the Mac mini M2 Pro (for $1,299), or there's the older Mac mini M1 for a lower price, but that's not part of this promotion.
