With an apple store card you can buy apple products without the hassle of amazon sellers. With an apple purchase you KNOW the item you purchased is NEW. Some amazon sellers mess up orders or lie about the condition their in. I know if I order an apple iMac from amazon marked as NEW and came USED when in the description it said NEW I would be pretty DISAPPOINTED. So, the question is - Want P2S to have APPLE STORE CARDS AVAILABLE so you can buy your APPLE PRODUCTS with PEACE OF MIND???? Note: Apple Store Cards will not work with any iTunes Purchase.

When dealing with Amazon sellers, you just never know if they're being honest about the item, and I'm sure the majority of members prefer to purchase electronics items New. Buying directly from Apple is smart, as you know for certain what you're getting - And you can mediate the return process (if need be) yourself rather than waiting for Ticket replies. Great idea, Freeborn
