(FWIW, in my many years owning and using Apple hardware, I've found it all extremely reliable, and any sort of extended warrantee is of little value - especially so for something like an iPad, whose only moving parts are the hardware buttons - so I'll take UR points over the extra protection that buying with Amex provides.)

Can anyone who remembers last (or previous) years Black Friday/UR Mall offers tell me....did they announce it in advance (and if so, how far in advance), or was it a last minute thing - wake up Friday morning and it's on? Any other tips for this? I'm gonna buy the gear in the next week or so, figure I might as well leverage the points and help meet spend on my new Ink (or other new card - have a new City Visa and Amex, too).

Thanks.
