Apple Black Friday sale: How to get a free $140 Apple Gift Card
We explain how to score a free $140 Apple Gift Card with select purchases at the Apple Store.
Black Friday is the day when retailers give out crazy discounts and shoppers go bananas over the sales available online.
It's the perfect time to snag a real bargain on expensive tech products and Apple usually qualifies in the "expensive" category. Because of this, Black Friday is a great opportunity to grab a saving on a piece of Apple kit.
However, as it's done in years past, Apple isn't, strictly speaking, discounting any of its wares sold directly through its local website. Instead, for Black Friday, if you're purchasing qualifying Apple gear, you'll get a bonus Apple Gift Card that can then be used to buy other Apple products and services.
