    I just got the EPP extra 4% without upgrading the warranty (with regular 1 yr mail-in warranty). I don't know if it's always been this way, just wanted to share. 4% off is on systems between $800-$1600. I configured e1505 for $1331.

    I can't seem to get 38% at the moment.

    4% ain't too bad...

    No, what I mean is that I can't seem to combine the offers

    Which model did you order?'

    Its actually 32.8% off (the 4% is taken off on the 30% off price).
    :D

    With the 3/4 year warranties, u get 38.4% off (30% + 12% on top of that)

    which dell epp code did you use? D:

    i'm worried an order would be cancelled if i just used the first one that comes up on google.


    edit: i was just planning on using the 30% off coupon and then 2% from my DPA.. and then doing the warranty when they mail you out a little thing in two weeks where it says "get 4 years in home" for like $150 or something.

    I just went through the links from my employer's ethernet site. I think the code was automatically assigned, at least I didn't see any, but the discount was applied at checkout.
