It’s Black Friday, meaning that some brick-and-mortar stores have already been open since Thanksgiving evening, dealing with hordes of crowds and offering discounted merch. Apple, in the midst of all of this, is doing a one-day Black Friday sale, and a bunch of other places are offering slight discounts on Apple products.

Rather than slashing prices on any of its goods, Apple is offering gift cards up to $150 with the purchase of select products. You can get a gift card of up to $100 when you buy an iPad Pro, iPad, or iPad mini 4. The gift card drops to $50 if you buy an iPhone 7, or even less if you choose an iPhone 6S or an iPhone SE.

Apple is also giving out $25 gift cards with a purchase of the Apple Watch Series 1 in silver or space gray. And it’s offering $150 gift cards if you get a MacBook, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, or an iMac.

As usual, Apple isn’t actually the best place to go if you want deals on Apple products. So we’ve picked out the best deals here across different retailers so you can keep the number of shopping tabs you have open to a minimum:
