    My XPS M1530 shipped on 1/12/2008. Today, just 5 weeks later, my "gift card" for the 4th year warranty arrived.

    Back when I ordered via EPP, for $80, I upgraded to the 4 year warranty + a $70 gift card (net cost $10). But when I received my paperwork, it listed the gift card at $50. Called to complained. Got a $25 coupon via email.

    The $50 "gift card" that arrived today was really a very plain-looking letter from Dell with a coupon code inside. So, now I have "gift cards" totaling $75... and nothing I want/need to buy. :cool:

    How about buying some software like a game or something. Or ebay works too. You could probably get 50 for that 75.

    And Dell won't let you stack them! I have a $100 dell dollar and a $50 one. On both letters it states on bottom, cannot be combined with other coupons.

    If they won't let me stack them, I'll call to complain. It was supposed to be one $70 card, instead Dell gave me two cards totaling $75.
