Apple TV doesn’t have a teacher discount. The free Apple TV access that comes with the Apple Music Student Plan is for verified college students only, so teachers don’t qualify unless they’re also students. The cheapest route for a teacher is cash back: Fluz gives 4% back when you buy an Apple gift card through it, and Apple lets you pay for Apple TV with a gift card.
Apple TV is $14.99 a month after a free 7-day trial, and up to six people can share one subscription, so a household can split the cost.
How To Get The Apple TV Teacher Discount
There’s no teacher rate to claim. Here’s how to get 4% back on your Apple TV subscription with Fluz instead:
- Create a free Fluz account.
- Find Apple in the Fluz app and buy a digital Apple gift card for the amount you want to put toward Apple TV.
- Redeem the gift card to your Apple Account. Apple says you can use a gift card or your Apple Account balance to pay for subscriptions like Apple TV.
- Subscribe to Apple TV, and the balance covers the monthly charge.
The rate on Fluz changes, so check it before you buy the card. Buying a $14.99 month with the 4% rate gets you about 60 cents back, so the bigger savings come from loading a larger card for several months, or for other Apple purchases too.
Why The Other Cash Back Sites Don’t Work Here
Rakuten gives 2% back at Apple.com, but only on accessories, refurbished products, AppleCare+ and Beats, and it pays nothing on gift cards. TopCashback pays nothing on the purchase of an Apple Store gift card. Neither one covers an Apple TV subscription, so Fluz is the route to use.
The Student Offer Teachers Don’t Qualify For
Apple gives students one free month of the Apple Music Student Plan, and the plan comes with free Apple TV access. That offer is good for verified college students only, and it ends when you stop qualifying or don’t renew the student plan. If you’re a teacher who is also taking college classes, it could apply to you. Our Apple Music teacher discount post covers the music side.
