    I was going to order a Dell 9300 today with the 1.86 processor, Media Center Edition, 256 video card, B/G wireless w/ bluetooth, video tuner, truelife screen, 9 cell battery and everything else default. It came to a little more than 1700 after taxes with the 25% coupon. I priced this all out at work. Then I get home during my lunch and the coupon doesn't work anymore. The 20% off one does but not the 25% one. It says the coupon doesn't reach eligibility requirements.

    Anyone have any ideas if this is normal for a coupon to work then a half hour later stop working? Would be a little riled if I missed my window of opportunity for getting it.

    The coupon could have expired or the coupon was used to its max limit already. Like if it is for the first 3000 users, it could have been all used up already, sorry.

    I do know it work this morning as a buddy ordered a i9300 this was around 5am cst. I also checked the dell website and your right as it is not taking anymore of the 25% coupons. Lets just hope they re-issue them for you as it looks like the 4000 they put out was used up.
