Mac Serial Number?

[iNICK20]

Ordered a iMac that should be here monday. Anyway I can see the S/N before then? A family member offered to buy me AC+ (They leave Monday Morning), Since this was a expensive PC (And my First Mac). They don't use tech like that, So they wouldn't know how to work CashApp etc...

If you're asking whether you can see the serial number of your new iMac before it's delivered, the answer is no. If your family member wants to buy the AC+ for you, could they give you a check or buy an Apple gift card for the amount? Most stores sell the gift cards these days. Surely there are other solutions.

Set their card up as your default Apple Pay when you get ready to buy AppleCare+. Once you purchase it, remove the card from your account.

You could also give them the serial number of your Mac when it is set up, and have them call Apple to order it for you.

After thinking about it for a couple of minutes, I think you can just call Apple Support now and ask Applecare to be added. Since you can add it at the time of purchase, I imagine you can add it after the Mac has shipped but not yet received too.

I was told, its can be added up to a certain amount of days right?

Where do they sell Apple GC? I only seen iTunes Cards locally and at Walgreens/Wal-Mart etc...

Yes, that's right. You have 60 days to add it. Here's the Applecare for Mac link so you can read about more of the details, but feel free to ask questions here too.
