Apple will reportedly offer a Gift Card Promotion on Black Friday rather than offering minimal discounts on various products as it has in the past, according to 9to5Mac.
According to multiple sources, Apple’s sales event this Friday will be based around gift cards, not discounts on products. If a customer buys a product from Apple on Black Friday, instead of receiving a discount, they will be given an Apple Store gift card. This gift card will likely not be able to be used at the time of purchase, solely at a later date. The setup is similar to that of Apple’s recent Back to School campaigns, but it is Apple Store cards, not iTunes cards…
The gift cards would come with flagship products such as Macs and iOS devices. A Mac might include a $100 gift card; whereas, an iPad might include a $50 gift card. Third party accessories would also come with gift cards. For example, the Dropcam is said to include a $25 gift card.
