AGR Online Mall partners with Apple Store at 1pt/$. Apple Store offers academic pricing giving 10% discount on many things. Can these work in tandem?

E.g., let's say my next laptop costs $1500.

I know I can get

* academic pricing, not purchased through AGR -- pay $1350 (saving $150).

* full retail pricing, purchased through AGR -- pay $1500 (getting 1500 pts, redeemable at ~$0.03/pt = ~$45).

Clearly of these two options the former is best!

But has anyone managed to get

* academic pricing, purchased through AGR -- pay $1350 (saving $150, plus getting 1350 pts = ~$40.50 ... for a total savings of ~$190)?

If no one's tried this, I'll report back sometime in 2008 when I buy my next laptop :)
