Chris Ridley notes that some UK readers have been able to receive the $30 Mac OS X public beta rebate: "[He] recons that if you call the Apple Store UK and quote your OS X PB order number they'll give you the OS X rebate, this is the first I have heard of a UK Mac user getting the rebate, I'm gonna call them tommorow to order my copy!"

    It's True!

    I didn't even need my orginal order number. The woman just looked it up in her computer using my name and address.

    place your order now!! :)

    just the phone number

    Yep, all I did was give them my phone number and name, and they looked it up that way. Goodness, the easiest rebate in the world. Imagine waiting weeks for rebate checks in the mail. It just ain't (I know this isn't correct English) worth it anymore.

    Got mine a week ago…

    My coupon was sent on the 3rd of Feb according to the e-mail header.

    However, it seems unlike American Mac users, us Brits can't redeem the voucher at the AppleStore for Education...

    I will call Apple tomorrow to find out why! Surely this is not fair?! (The AppleStore for Education price is £50, plus tax rather than £99 at the regular AppleStore)

    So, if the voucher definately will not work for Education priced OS X here in the UK, buy it at the AppleStore for Education's price if you are a student like me! :) You will still save money and get it cheaper than if you bought the regular version with the coupon discount!

    Yes we can redeem it.

    Wrong, you can redeem the Voucher at the Apple Store for Education in the UK!!!

    I have got my copy of Mac OS X for a grand total of £34.99 incVAT.

    Apple Store Education UK price is £50excVAT and then minus £21 discount.

    student with rebate

    Called up the Apple Store for Education today to order Mac OS X. I was asked if I had bought the PB and they asked me if I knew the order number, which I did.
    Mac OS X for a spiffy £33.99. Can't beat that.

    Easy rebate

    I wanted to order OSX beta from AppleStore UK but live in Ireland (there is no AppleStore Ireland). But I can't phone as the UK store uses a freephone number that can't be accessed from Dublin Ireland.
    So the following happened:
    1/ I phoned Apple in Cork, Ireland (where the Apple Euro HQ is) and the woman immediately said "oh I'll transfer you!" (this is even cheaper than it would have cost to phone the UK!!).
    2/ Once through I asked to order OSX and asked about a rebate. The man said fine. I said that I didn't have my purchase code in front of me (can't find my original invoice/bill from the Paris Expo) and he said no need he'd take my word for it. I kept trying by saying I could give him my email address that I registered my beta with, but he said there was no need!! For all he knows I could have never seen the beta and he would still have given me OSX with the discount!! Very simple!
