Once you're over 300 cycles it doesn't matter whether or not you have Applecare. The battery is considered a consumable component. Once you used up those 300 cycles you've used up the battery and Apple won't do anything about it unless you get lucky. I think its like $80 or $90 if you give them your old battery.

Apple has finally launched the Back to School promotion for 2011.
When
you buy a new qualifying Mac with Apple education pricing* from June
16, 2011, through September 20, 2011, you'll get a $100 Back to School
Card to use on the Mac App Store, the App Store, the iTunes Store, and
the iBookstore.
As reported,
this year's back to school promotion offers a $100 iTunes/App Store
Gift Card with the purchase of a qualifying Mac. The promotion starts
today and ends on September 20, 2011. International Apple Stores have
also launched their local equivalents (65 British Pounds in UK, 75 Euro
in Europe).
You must be a college student, student accepted to college, parent of
college student or faculty/staff at any grade level. Qualifying
computers include the MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, and Mac
Pro. Readers should also note that any Mac purchased now will also get OS X Lion for free.
Update: Apple has posted the terms and conditions. When the new MacBook Airs are released, they will also qualify.

Yes. If you buy it now you get the new OS for free as as well.
Stupid question...but would it be better to get a macbook that already comes with the OS than having to get it from snow leopard?
I dont think it makes a huge difference. It really comes down to preference. Do you want to wait up to six weeks (Lion releases in July but no date has been given) or do you want to pick a machine up now and install Lion yourself? You wont lose any data or anything so the install won't be cumbersome. Additionally you might want to figure out what machine you're getting and use that as a deciding factor. The MacBook Pro's aren't due for a refresh till Feburary, however the Macbook Airs and the MacBooks are due for a refresh. They'll most likely appear when Lion drops.

na theyre definitely just being cheap. This promotion always served as a means to clear out stock of outgoing ipod models to make room for the coming models every September. i mean they're not obliged to do anything by any means, but if you set a standard, don't cheap out on future offerings.

Also once again Applecare is boss, I was having glass speration on my macbook pro. I'll be getting it next week Wednesday though, (got my Google chromebook holding me down) but for them fix it under apple care it cost nearly $500 that's including parts and labor. Since i had applecare it was no charge. Hoepfully they can't fix it and they hand me a refurb macbook with beffier specs
giving out free iTouch's isn't a standard, it's a promotional deal given to students and by no means are they obligated to uphold it every summer. it's a gift given out of the goodness of their marketing department

You can only extend your applecare within 365 days of purchase of your item. At that point it extends it for two more years, totalling three. If yours expired then youre out of luck
I don't think Apple is being cheap. In this economy, the company is continuing to grow and gain revenue from all their sales. The reason for the $100 gift card is the focal point towards the app store. With Lion releasing soon and App Store becoming a main focus to purchase apps for your Mac, Apple wants customers to spend money in the App Store. New program with a new projected idea to incorporate the company's new focus on their products.
