FAQ (Apple / @ThisCounted Campaign):
1. Where does the bonus cash (up to $60) come from?
Companies often partner with various channels (like ours) or influencers to help increase outreach! Often, these partners would be allowed to make a commission when people buy through their affiliate links.
@ThisCounted has chosen to use much of our commissions to give back rewards to our subscribers (instead of just keeping the commission)! Thus, after you make your purchase, ThisCounted will be sending you the cash (via PayNow) within a few weeks once purchases are verified.
2. Is the link safe?
Yes! You’d notice that the link,
bit.ly/ThisCounted, redirects to Apple’s official website. We are not asking you to place orders on an external platform—it’s still the official Apple website using the official Apple affiliate link. The only difference with our link is that there is an affiliate identifier so Apple/partnering platforms are aware which purchases were through ThisCounted’s campaign.
3. If the link simply goes to the Apple website, how do you know that I have used ThisCounted’s link specifically, to get my bonus rewards?
Indeed, the url takes you to the official Apple website. However, it is an official affiliate link where there is a tracking code. Affiliate links take the following structure:
https://www.apple.com/sg-edu/store?afid=[unique affiliate code here]
This is enough for a report to be produced that notes which purchases were through the link.
4. What products are eligible to get the ThisCounted bonus?
Generally, if you purchase a product that is not part of the limited-time offers (refer to Apple Education Store), there could be the ThisCounted bonus.
Products that are eligible for ThisCounted’s bonus include: iPad, iPad Mini, Mac Studio, Mac Mini, Apple Watches (excluding Apple Watch Ultra 3), and more. We note that the iPhone 17 range, Apple Vision Pro and MacBook Neo are not eligible for the ThisCounted bonus.

5. Does this also apply to JC/Poly/ITE or only university?
You are also able to conduct student verification if you're from these institutions.
6. What if I am not a student at all?
If you use our link to navigate out of the education store (to the main Apple Store page), your non-education store purchase can still be eligible for ThisCounted’s bonus rewards. You may alternatively use this link directly:
bit.ly/outsideedustore
7. Can monthly installment plans be used?
As Apple’s 24-month 0% instalment financing option is not available for orders placed in the Apple Online Store checkout, you will not be able to enjoy this offer.
8. Is there anything else that may affect tracking?
Ensure you follow the steps (including re-entering our unique link again after the UNiDAYS student verification).
If you make a refund, rewards from ThisCounted will not be claimable. Switching products after ordering with our link may also prevent successful tracking. If you have any browser extensions that operate on an affiliate commission/cashback basis, these should be turned off, and any browser settings preventing tracking should also be adjusted.
9. As a final note, ensure that you use our unique link to purchase within the same session, in the same tab; if there is a time lapse, you will have to re-enter the bit.ly/ThisCounted link again.
