2 Purchases with ADC Student membership

Has anyone tried to make two purchases using their ADC student membership? Or, has anyone attempted to purchase from Apple's ADC store without being a member?

I ask because I am an ADC Student member and had used my hardware discount two years ago, but am now looking to purchase another computer. Furthermore, anyone is able to purchase Apple computers at education pricing. There is no sort of verification that an individual is a member of an educational institution. When I look up prices on the ADC Store I can proceed to the checkout area without providing any sort of verification. Has anyone tried to purchase from the ADC store without being a member.

Also, does the free iPod Touch promotion work with the ADC store purchases still? Two years ago I received a rebate for the free iPod Touch and printer even though I made my purchase through the ADC store, but I was wondering if that is still the case. Thanks in advance!

Since you have an ADC membership, your second question about defrauding Apple is irrelevant, and really not up for discussion. This site doesn't exist for the purpose of skirting the law and defrauding anyone.

Here's the program rules:

So no one on here has ever talked about using the educational discount when they are not a member of an educational institution... right. Thank you mr. righteous for your snooty response. I did not ask for that.

If anyone has, they would have been told the same thing. I challenge you to use the search tools and prove me differently. No need to get indignant just because you didn't get an answer that you approve of.

You're asking about doing something that is ethically dishonest and you're implying that lifeisabeach is being snooty?

So no, people haven't talked about doing it because it's wrong.
