Question About Employee Discount

My friend got me a discount on my new Macbook. But when he was selecting type of discount there wasn't an option for friends&family so he put personal. So it seems like for all intents and purposes 'he' bought the laptop. I'm going to get the Apple Care in my name.

Can anyone see any problems coming from this in the future, the fact that it is technically in his name? Does that affect what apple account is associated with the laptop? Does it associate him with the laptop? If I get repairs, and the apple care is in my name, is that enough?

Thanks!

 

I don't think so!he can say that he sold it to you.

 

Follow up questions:

Are Apple employees not allowed to use their 'personal' 25% discount on a friend's computer?

If they're not allowed, can you think of any possible situation that could come up, where I'd have to deal with Apple and they'd realize that my friend let me use his discount? Maybe if I had a problem and had to return it or something? If so, what would they do if I showed up with a receipt that isn't mine, showing them that a friend used their personal discount improperly?

Is there any electronic record of who bought this laptop? Is his name associated with it's serial code?

Finally, do I miss out on any offers or anything else by not having my name on the bill? Can I still register this computer under my name?

Wow that seems like a lot of worries! Just that I've been waiting to get this laptop for a while and don't want anything to go wrong now.

Thanks a lot!

 

I know they get three 15% discounts for friends/families, one 25% for them self. Does that just mean that those three 15% can only be for friends and family, the 25% can be for anyone?

 

If something comes up, why not just have him take it in for you?

I really don't think anything will happen. When I called applecare for a macbook pro I bought, they allowed me to switch everything over into my name, no questions asked... Okay, well they asked if I knew the name of the person who had it first.

 

The warranty follows the machine not the owner. That is all you need to know.

 

As duff stated, it does not matter. In fact, many of them take advantage on the 25% on each product line and sell them online.

 

There is no issue at all in terms of needing to go in for repair and whatnot. As long as someone isn't using their personal discount and then reselling items, there really is no issue.

For someone that is doing that, I doubt many do, I hope you aren't a big fan of having a job.
