Despite the dubiousness of this claim, I engaged the OP's offer because I was due to place an order for some Apple gear.

I can confirm that it "seems legit".  My shipment has arrived, my CC was charged at a discounted rate, and no Secret Service agents have arrived at my house (yet?).

It seems like it is a secret link to some kind of corporate or organizational portal to the Apple Store, with (some) discounted prices, with the following proviso: I found nothing with actually a 25% discount.  Most items that had a discount were 10-20% off, depending on price.  There is NO discount at all on iPads/iPods/iPhones/AppleTVs.  (i.e. no ordering a new iPhone 5 with a discount with this link)

But if you plan on ordering a Macbook, monitor, iMac, etc. it probably makes sense to engage this offer.  20% off on a higher end Mac is better than any special offer or educational discount I've ever seen.

I don't know what the legality or morality of ordering a discounted Macbook from someone else's VIP portal, but I'm not surprised to see that a company as clever as Apple has found a subtle way to "segment their market", and they don't appear to check or care who is using their special rates.

So, donation sent:

Might be specific to an employer. I honestly don't know. The page doesn't say anything other than V.I.P.  It's not the educational store. There is no verification on the orders. I've successfully used it. Anyone with the link appears to be able to order.

This is probably just a educational or employer discount link.

It's a legitimate offer despite me being new here. If a moderator here or someone with say more than 1500 posts here wants to verify I'll send it to them first. Only once though and on the condition they validate it here.

Hi, I have a private discount link into the Apple store online. You can get as much as 25% off that new iPhone 5 or macbook pro. I will send you the link for 1 BTC. Shoot me a message here.
