To celebrate the Japanese New Year, Apple is hosting a two-day promotion where customers in Japan can get a free Apple Gift Card worth up to 32,000 yen with the purchase of an eligible Apple product on January 2nd and 3rd.
Gift card amounts range from 4,000 yen for second-generation AirPods and other accessories to 32,000 yen for the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro.
In addition to a gift card, the first 30,000 customers in Japan who purchase a new Apple iPhone 13, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 12 or iPhone SE during the promotion will receive a limited-edition AirTag engraved with a Year of the Rabbit 2023.
Apple has shared the full terms and conditions for the promotion with additional details. In particular, iPhone orders placed through the Apple Store app do not qualify for a limited edition AirTag, so make sure you complete the purchase on Apple’s website. The promotion will also be available at Apple’s retail stores in Japan.
Apple has been running a Japanese New Year promotion for many years. Last year’s promotion featured a limited edition AirTag for the Year of the Tiger.
