    Use code G01JG242730SDT to save $300 off $1,199.00+ on this Dell Inspiron notebook. (valid 7/11/2007 - 7/26/2007 6:00:00 AM)



    This doesn't work on the dell website anymore (it says it is 1399+ now) but it was working yesterday. Anyone know why it doesnt work any longer? You could get a pretty nicely equipped 1420 for only 903.00 with that coupon, a better deal than even student EPP...


    PLEASE HELP!!

    This qs is already posted in the thread dell coupon error. Dell has the right to change/ cancel the coupon value at any time without notice. This is what has been found in the bottom of the coupon page.

    Now the $300 off of $1199 coupon is no more. May be you can weight till the next new coupon day (19th july) and see if you can get a better deal. I am also in a same situation. I was to about to order a well configured 1520 for under $1000, but the coupon limit changed on friday(13th) evening.

    Bad luck for me and others too.

    with my student (EPP/FSS) coupons I was able to save a whopping $610 off a laptop that was originally $1840! I just ordered my 1420 today, soo excited! When I spoke to Kim (Dell lady) today about why one of my coupons wasn't working, she said beware for thursdays, because prices change as do promotional offers and coupons.

    ^ I was in the same situation, liked the <1K price, but I had to go with it anyway. So I spent more... :(

    Now I'm REALLY REALLY bitter and am doing everything I can to squeeze every last drop of blood out of DELL's throat.

    ..erm I mean I'm calling up to deman expedited shipping and compensation for various reasons, etc.

    Don't wanna be a mulehole, but this IS how you have to do business nowadays. :D

    Dell wishes to change/ cancel the offer/promotions at any time without notice as noted by Dell.


    Dell keeps track of the number of orders in a day and change the coupons/offers accordingly.
