Apple Music doesn’t have a teacher discount. The one discount it offers is the Student plan at $6.99 a month, and that’s only for verified college students. The way to pay less as a teacher is Fluz: buy an Apple gift card there for 4% cashback, then use the gift card balance to pay for Apple Music.
If you’re hoping to shave a few dollars off your monthly music bill, this works for any plan, and it doesn’t ask you to prove you’re a teacher.
How To Get The Apple Music Teacher Discount
There’s no teacher rate to claim, so here’s how to get cash back on your subscription instead:
- Open the button below and buy an Apple gift card on Fluz. You earn 4% cashback on the card.
- Redeem the card in your Apple Account.
- Let your Apple Account balance pay for Apple Music. Apple says a gift card or account balance can pay for subscriptions like Apple Music, Apple Arcade and Apple TV.
Fluz can change its rate, so check the cashback at checkout before you pay.
What Apple Music Costs
The Individual plan is $11.99 a month, and the Family plan is $19.99 a month, which lets you share with up to five people. Both give new subscribers the first month free. The Student plan is $6.99 a month with the first month free for new subscribers, and it comes with Apple TV at no extra cost. Apple verifies that you’re enrolled at a college or university, and student pricing lasts up to four years as long as you remain a student. After that the membership continues at the Individual price. A teacher who isn’t also enrolled in college doesn’t qualify.
Why Fluz And Not The Other Cash Back Sites
Rakuten and TopCashback both leave Apple gift cards out, and Rakuten only pays on Accessories, Apple Refurbished products, AppleCare+ and Beats. Fluz pays its cashback on the gift card itself, which is why it’s the route that fits an Apple Music subscription. The card is redeemable in store and online, so what’s left after Apple Music can go toward anything else Apple sells.
