No more apple discount for CX?

Hi All,

Cannot find the link to the apple corporate discount website under staff offers.
Any hints on where to go now for discounted apple stuff?

Thanks

S.

call the apple store in the airport, they used to do discounts, was almost as good as online, less than HK$100 in it for a macbook pro at 9000. Think it was 10% off.

If you shop around you will get a price similar to or the same of that you can get via the cx discount.

Standalone / Unlocked Iphone 4

Just try at 1st floor, Chung King Mansion, TST. There are plenty of phone warehouses there. They are selling both 'China Made' and original Iphone - all models .......... you need to bargain hard though ......

I bought a few phones before (not Iphone) and don't have any problem so far .......

Try dg lifestyle store in terminal 2, they are an authorised apple reseller.
They sell unlocked fones outright.
www.dg-lifestyle.com 27691288
Not a huge choice but friendly helpful staff.
They have other stores in Wanchai, C-bay, Central and Shatin

Ring the 800 number found on the CX staff offers site. You will speak to someone in Singapore (toll free).

You will be quoted the Apple shop price and then the discounted CX price. You will have to provide your CX email (ie [email protected]) All shipping advice comes to this email address in groupwise.

What used to take 5 minutes online now takes about 20 if you need engraving etc. I guess the main thing is that the small discount still exists. I spoke with a supervisor at the phone ordering site and said it was a retrograde step. He welcomed my feedback

Enjoy

It appears to have gone again.
It's not under telecom & electronics.

Can anyone help?

Rang Benefits yesterday, off at the moment. Communication sent to Apple but the 'man what does' is on holiday so CX awaiting reply.
If in a hurry use the airport shop, confirmed as 5% on cash purchase!
