Apple is at MSRP if buying directly. They bundle it with their $250 Gift Card for laptops for this holiday season, but BestBuy, Costco and Amazon have already been selling MacBook Air at $950 for M4 Air 13 512GB/16GB variant, when Apple continues to sell at $1,200 with $250 GC.
You can use your Discover points at Amazon and several other places.
That was always the case, but if you're going the trade in route. Direct apple gives the most value (not all the time, but it works out when they do).
Did it for the 17 Pro Max on launch.
trade in 15 PM for $470
Paid the remainder of the 719 with my apple balance which was accumulated from the target/Best buy Get $15 gift card with purchase of $100 apple card. 8 of those would be $120 in alternate store credits.
End up being $600 and tax for my iphone when all said and done. Works out when you want launch day stuff.
But the new oldstock. There is better opportunities.
The Airpods pro 3 is something to look at. $249. Get $50 gift card. Spend $211.65 worth of discover points (without tax of course). Would be more in the $161 range and $50 currency. Around the paypal deal.

I purchased $3,000 worth of Apple gift cards from Target. I needed to buy four iPhones for my kids. I planned on putting $900 of gift cards into my account. Buy a phone. Then add another $800 and buy a phone, etc.
I Ordered the first two which was about $1650 with taxes. They are to ship in about a week.
This is where I ran into the problem. I could only add $300 more of gift cards and then it indicated no more. That you can only have $2,000 outstanding. Since the two iPhone had not shipped I could not add the gift cards.
I am a little bit on a time crunch as the iPhones are Christmas presents. So if they do not ship soon I will have to use my Wife's Apple account for the next two and a bit screwed on the $300 I have still in my Apple account. I can't find a way to move the $300 to her account.
Since we buy a lot of stuff from Apple it is not a huge issue. I will eventually use. But I have never seen this limitation listed anywhere.

I don't think I have a trade-in (believe we have an iPhone 11 that might have a cracked screen so I assume it's not worth much).
I've checked and don't think we have the PayPal 20% off deal.
Would this Discover cash back deal likely be the best option?
This fall, I bought the base-level MacBook, paid $50 extra to upgrade from AirPods 4, and got a MacBook and AirPods Pro for $950 (plus taxes, of course). Since I'd gotten the gift cards at a 20% discount (Citi ThankYou Points on Cyber Monday), that's like getting a MacBook and AirPods pro combo for $760.
