Jus saying, if you shop at Costco, they got AirPods Pro with AppleCare+ Included for $249.99

? Paying Apple's MSRP is not a deal.


Here's a deal. Buy 3 x $100 Apple gift cards (in 3 separate transactions) from Target, Amazon, or Best Buy (each retailer will then give you a bonus $15 gift card per $100 Apple gift card for their respective store). Then use the $300 in Apple gift cards to buy them directly from Apple for $249 during their Black Friday / Cyber Monday sale ('https://www.macrumors.com/2025/11/20/apple-announces-2025-black-friday-event/') where Apple will also give you a $50 Apple gift card. Then use that $50 Apple gift card to buy AppleCare for $19.99/year

Your cost? $300 - $45 in Target/Amazon/Best Buy gift card - $50 Apple gift card = $205 with Apple gift card balance of $xxx


The Best Buy offer is going on now. Target's offer starts Sunday. Amazon's offer starts Friday, Nov. 28.

You can sweeten the deal if your credit card has their own offers. For example, AmEx has a spend $250 or more at Best Buy, get $25 back offer. This would make AirPods Pro 3 with AppleCare under $175 when accounting for all promos and gift cards (but before any sales taxes).

And Discover credit card holders get 5% back for Amazon purchases.

Costco AirPods 4 ANC is the better deal.
I expect MacRumors is only posting deals from sites they have an affiliate agreements with. Walmart has APP2 on sale for $140.

Those are new, not refurbs? I can't tell from the Walmart site :confused:. I just checked my local Micro Center, which is matching that price, but for refurbs.
New.

In my opinion Walmart's deal of $139 for the AirPod Pro 2's is the best deal if you want the Pro's.
