See how AppleCare saved us nearly $1,000! (Click image to enlarge)

Many members already know about the Veterans Advantage / Apple discount on its increasingly popular line of computers, including its latest MacBook Pro with Retina display. But we also want to remind you of the special discounts you can get on its AppleCare support coverage — the long-term savings on that is priceless.

Lin Higgins, our Chief Operating Officer, recently had some glitches with her notebook, and after bringing her machine to our local Apple Store, we were very pleased to hear that the nearly $1,000 in hardware replacements were totally covered by AppleCare!

Because Apple makes the hardware, the operating system, and many applications, Apple products are truly integrated systems. And only AppleCare products give you one-stop service and support from Apple experts, online and by phone. And thankfully that is all good for Veterans Advantage members!

Big news in the New York City area is also great news for Veterans Advantage members. The newest Apple Store, in the heart of the city’s famed Grand Central Station Terminal, accepts your VetRewards Card for discount on desktops, laptops and AppleCare protection plans.

The timing is perfect to help holiday shoppers caught in the rush hour, and tourists to the Big Apple. If you’ve never seen this historic landmark, I encourage you to check it out!

Apple, through these discounts for Veterans Advantage members, has been a benefits partner since 2004. And it already accepts Veterans Advantage members at all its stores nationwide, as well as gives discount through a  special online storefront and by phone.

As former Apple CEO Steve Jobs sadly passed last week, we want to recognize and thank Steve and his company for Apple’s strong support of the Veterans Advantage program. Back in 2004, Steve’s team approached us to provide special savings on Apple products for those who have served. We offer our deepest condolences to his family and colleagues.

It was nice to see additional Apple Computer products available for discount for Veterans Advantage members. The Mac Pro desktop computer, for instance, is now available with a Quad-Core Intel processor (save $200), and 8-Core (save $300), a 12-Core (save $400), and what it calls a Server (save $300).

The discount on AppleCare, which everyone should purchase as insurance against the stuff that happens to computers, continues to offer big savings – usually in the order of another $50 for a Mac Pro.

I recently went into upgrade mode for my office computer and found out I am in the same boat with many of you! I recently picked up the MacBook Air from the Westchester Mall’s own Apple Store, and after showing my Veterans Advantage card received a $108 discount. Apple then combined the Veterans Advantage discount with a printer for only $50 (after a $100 instant rebate on the spot), and a Veterans Advantage discount on its AppleCare warranty. In all, the VA card saved me well over $200.

The place was packed! One of the Apple sales associates on the floor told me they frequently have a line streaming out the door of the store.

Nonetheless, my kids were excited too, making many of the same back to school purchases as the mall shoppers I saw that day. The Apple products are beautifully designed, and user-friendly. They’re cool, no doubt about it. For the MacBook Air, my salesman said my Veterans Advantage deal was better than the Apple student discount, so if you are making purchases for the student in your household, make sure to compare! I encourage you to shop with our special Members Only Apple online shopping link or, do what I did, which is to simply present your Veterans Advantage membership card at any Apple Store today for great savings.
