First, I have done a search on the forums to see if others have discussed this topic before, but I do not see that.

Second, I cannot find an appropriate place on these forums to put this topic, but I feel that this one closely resembles it.

A few weeks ago, Phi Kappa Phi announced a partnership with Apple, giving Phi Kappa Phi members discounts to Apple's products. This information is hard to locate on the internet. It is not even on Apple's website after doing a search for it. Nonetheless, I tried viewing the discounts from the Phi Kappa Phi website (members only), and I could not do it. After talking to 2 developers there, they spoke with Apple and forwarded to me something about a log-in issue, but nonetheless, after some decent troubleshooting, I have tried to access their link from 2 different computers at two different places, and I cannot view their discounts.

So, at this point, I'd like to know:
What are the discounts given to Phi Kappa Phi members for Apple's products? Say, how much would I pay for Leopard?

I'm Phi Kappa Phi and hadn't heard about this. Thanks for the information. According to their website, you have to log into the members only area.

Already did that.

Now what happens when you click the "Click Here" link on this page?

It didn't work in Safari. So I tried it in Firefox and it worked perfectly. MacBooks and iMacs are discounted 6%, but the new bluetooth wireless keyboard is discounted 7.5%. So that's probably the range.

I've tried the link in Safari and Firefox on two computers, no luck. Who knows.

What's the current discount on Tiger? (My ultimate objective is to know the discount for Leopard and if these discounts can be combined with student discounts at the Education store.)

Phi Kappa Phi is an organization for individuals with outstanding academic marks. Yes, the greeks got me a few months back.



EDIT: Well I'm having the reverse luck: works in Safari but not Firefox. But it gets worse: every time that I want to access their discounts, I have to go through a very mechanical and unnatural process of clearing all cookies and the cache, then going to the phi center page, then go to Members Only, then log in, then go to More Benefits, then go to the Apple link, then hit the "Click Here" link to see the discounts.
What the hell?
Nice going, Apple techies, I've never had a problem like that from your online store in the past. (!)

I had to look up Phi Kappa Phi; I'd never heard of it.

Hey, they wanted to induct me ... and then they asked for money and I said no.

But what for? It's a kind of MENSA type thing?
