    Hi,I bought an iPad in Canada recently and apple currently have a promotion on for university students that if you buy a new ipad you receive a 40 euro gift card for iTunes .I tried to claim this gift card at the point of sale in Toronto but they refused as I was not a student in a Canadian university.upon returning back to Ireland I discovered this promotion was also on in Ireland and worldwide.I rang Apple yesterday and they told me to ring Apple Canada which is an international call which I cannot make.can someone offer me some advice please on how to claim my iTunes gift card which I believe I am entitled to.thanks

    Even if you get it from canada, it will be 40 Canadian dollars and you'll have to change your itunes account to a Canada address to spend it, you also can't change store if you have credit in your account so you'll have to spend it all in the canadian app store before changing back

    Thanks for your reply.but I have a feeling they will not give me the voucher as I am not a student in Canada just like when I first bought it they said you must be a student in Canada to avail of the promotion hence I believe I should be dealing with Apple Ireland as I attend UCD.Is it worth my while taking it to another level with Apple Ireland because realistically apple products don't differ from country to country nor does the price.

    They told you that you had to be a student in Canada, you are not a student in Canada, problem?

    You made the purchase in Canada, Apple Ireland do not have to help you in any way. Even if it breaks you would be responsible for bringing it to Canada if Apple asked you to.

    The price is different countries, you also availed of the benifits from exchange rates and lower tax, I doubt they let you pay with euros.
