There’s less left for Black Friday, and most tech companies have been promoting attractive deals and discounts for weeks. But again, Apple is slow to confirm whether it will decide to lower its prices this year or not.
To celebrate the biggest selling event of the year, Apple could redistribute gift cards with the purchase of an “eligible product.” This is what the company has been doing for years, so it wouldn’t be a surprise.
There is still no official confirmation from Apple, either on its site or in the mail, as in previous years it has sent its users a message explaining the promotion, valid products, voucher values and dates. .
When will the Apple Gift Card promotion be for Black Friday?
In 2020, you could pick up one of the Apple gift cards from November 27 to 30, that is, starting on Black Friday and ending on Cyber Monday.
This year it could also be like that, starting at midnight on November 26 (Black Friday day) and ending at 11:59 PM on November 29 (Cyber Monday day). We will have to wait for Apple to confirm it.
On the other hand, we believe that, as in previous years, this promotion will only be available in Europe and not in Mexico or other Latin American markets.
What products will be included in the Apple Gift Card promotion?
If this happens like other years, you will need to pay the original price of a product to later receive a gift card with which to purchase more products. So you won’t save money on the product you originally wanted to buy, and end up spending more on products you might not need.
That’s not to say that gift cards aren’t a good deal, and those who are considering purchasing other products in the future will be worth considering. But what does Apple mean by “valid product”?
You might think you can get a gift card as long as you buy an iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods, iPad, Mac, Apple TV, HomePod, or Beats.
Yes and no. It is true that all of these products have been part of the Apple Gift Card promotion in previous years, but we believe that only certain models in these categories will be valid for the Black Friday offer. In this sense, forget about the latest generation products.
