- aluminum MacBook: 2.4GHZ Core 2 Duo, 3GB DDR3 RAM, NVIDEA GeForce 9400M, 250 GB HDD (32GB for Vista)
After buying a new 16GB iPod Touch a few days ago, I realized that I've spent close to $3000 on Apple in the last year. (2.4GHZ aluminum MacBook-November with case and extra software, 3 iPod Nanos for the family earlier last year, about $400 on iTunes, and a new 16GB iPod Touch a few days ago.) I'd really like to get iLife '09 for my month-and-a-half-old MacBook but I don't have the money to buy that right now, so I thought I'd go onto Apple's online chat support to find out if there are any discounts or rewards I may be missing. I've done PLENTY of researching on Apple.com in the last 6 months and haven't seen anything, but who knows, maybe there's something I don't know about. I went on the online support 3 times in the last 2 days to see about it (just in case one of the people didn't know about something), and each (different) person said I don't apply for anything. One of the people even said that Apple has no rewards or anything set up. I love the products Apple makes, but I feel really confused considering that if this were HP or Dell, I would have already received $500-$800 in rewards, extra offers/discounts, and/or higher customer service/warrantee. Did I just get 3 people from Apple that didn't know about this topic, or does Apple really not have ANY rewards at all maybe just because they know that millions of people will buy their products regardless and they want all the money they can get (even if that means cheating their customers in some cases just because of their superiority)? Am I missing something? What do YOU think about this topic?
