Re: "when are gift cards for the education store offered?"
hi! I’m planning on buying a macbook and ipad for college. I heard about a gift card with the purchase of a mac or ipad through the education store. Is this a year round offer or when would this gift card start being available? If it starts later, like around the summer - fall, im worried that the tariffs will have already taken effect by then. Should I purchase the technology now to avoid the tariffs? If I do, will I still receive the gift cards to save money?
Sorry I don't know for sure. We are all Apple users, like yourself, in the community, so Apple is not here to answer your question expertly..Also, Apple does not always announce it's promotions ahead of time,
However, Apple does provide a list of Current Offers - Apple
You may want to check that now and then.
The Education Store also provides current information:
Eg: USA: Education Pricing and Student Discounts - Education - Apple
or
Eg: Australia: Education Pricing and Student Discounts - Education - Apple (AU)
You can "also ask a specialist" from there, if you wish.
Shopping Help provides quite a lot of info., though likely not tailored to your specific needs.
Payment, Financing, Refunds and VAT - Shopping Help - Apple

Re: "Should I purchase the technology now to avoid the tariffs?"
Sorry I don't know much about the tariffs you mention, or which country you will make the purchase in.
Your post deserves some response, and others may provide info once your discussion is underway.
It may be an online purchase you intend, or a purchase from a particular store. Each country, and even each store within a country may be able to do more, or do less for you. (Eg: In the past "back-to-school" offers were made at times.)
You may want to talk with someone at your nearest Apple Store :
Store locator : Apple Store - Find a Store - Apple
or
