Apple's Price Protection.. Woohoo!!

[JL7]

Ordered a refurb 20: Imac last week, then today I see that its selling for $150 Less than i paid. So I call apple support and in under 5 min I have a credit placed on my account for the $150. Now I cant wait for my sons birthday so we can see if we won the apple lottery too



And on another side note My 24"/2.8 is no longer the BMOC

I guess the price drop must have something to do with the iMac refresh today. Happy news all round!

BooHoo

I ordered my refurb imac 3/29/08. Saw the price drop called Apple but they said the price protection wouldn't apply. Missed it by 6 days or so. Seems like they will not budge. I'd take a store credit or maybe a tee shirt to make me feel better.

What's the return policy on refurbs? It should be a certain number of days after delivery. I'd have to guess it's 30 days. So, just ask for a refund? Maybe then they'd budge.

EDIT>> oops, it's 14 days from receipt. Bummer.

Their return policy is 14 days so I guess that's how they base their price protection policy. I think maybe a prorated price protection or something since 14 days is a small window.
