Apple payment plan...

[Trip]

I don't know if this is the right forum for this, but...

How do the apple payment plans work? I always see "$35 a month" or whatever, how does that work? Do they just give you the computer and you pay it off every month? Can somebody explain (preferably in detail) how it works?

its the same as getting a loan from your bank. only the loan is through apple for their products. so they have you fill out an online form, and then they do a credit check and decide if they will give you the loan.

Just FYI, but Apple's rates are atrocious (between 6% and 22%!!). You'd be better off opening a line of credit via your local bank (where you could possibly get as low as 5%), puchasing the computer on the credit card, then paying that off.

I would advise against an Apple loan unless all other options are exhausted.

(I don't know if that link will expire or not -- if so, simply select a computer to purchase, then click "Apple Credit Account" at the bottom of the page and navigate to "Terms and Conditions")
