    "This offer is an order level discount that cannot be combined with other discounts."
    Please check before canceling a $300 order

    Just for everyone's info, to use the coupon you need to pay with your DPA. It's not like any other coupon that you can just apply - so for those looking to pick up an additional $150, it won't work unless you've got your own DPA, in which case you should already have the coupon.

    Yeah so I didn't get sent the code, despite having a DPA? Why would this be? If anyoen out there still has one, I'd appreciate it if you PM'ed me as I'm about to reorder after my first order has been delayed twice.

    i thought these were supposed to stack with other offers? i currently have $307 instant savings on the 1420 plus the EPP. the rep (american) said it wouldn't stack with the $307 instant savings. is this possible?

    which coupon would apply to me? when you look at your shopping cart, do you look at the top number - i think 1437? or do you look at the subtotal after the instant savings and EPP but before tax and shipping?

    thx

    They are supposed to stack. I had to do a cancel and re-order to use the coupon on a previous order because they are only valid on your NEXT purchase. Since I ordered the day before the coupon came out, I didn't mind. If you are planning to order online, I would suggest saving the e-quote you have now online and then call and place the order over the phone to get the soupon applied to your e-quote.

    I also thought I hadn't received one but it was because I checked the wrong email. I had called Dell before I found it and customer serivce told me to call Dell's Financial Services for help. The number is 18002832210 for US. Maybe they can get one sent to you. Hope this helps

    You can use the $100 off for a purchase of $999 or more and the $150 off for a purchase of $1299 or more, both before tax, shipping, etc.

    oh sorry I misunderstood your question. You have to look at the subtotal before the taxes, fees and shipping and handling are factored in. So you look at the total after you factor in the EPP discounts you got.

    does anybody know if the 25% off stack with epp and the dpa 150 off discounts??

    i have a 250 dollar unleashed coupon and 50, which stack fine, and then i used the 4% dpa discount, with the 4% 1/2 year at home service, but when i try to use the dpa 150 off, when it goes through and im about to submit my order, it does not show anything with the 150 off coupon, so it doesnt work with it....

    people are saying it stacks with the EPP discount? does anybody know how to do it or if it even works at all?

    bump!

    anybody who has used the DPA discount,
    at what time of the checkout does it actually show that it will take 150 off?

    because i get to the last part where it says submit order,
    and at the top it says dell preferred account members will get promotional financing features or other discounts not listed in order summary or something,

    it doesnt show anywhere it took the 150 off.

    growl - i just tried to use the 150 coupon to configure a 1330 and i was told - oh that coupon expired on 7/30. they decided to expire it early. then i tried the $100 coupon and was told the same thing.

    she did "talk to her supervisor" and get me $150 off, but wouldn't give me the 4% for using DPA and wouldn't give me anything else off.

    are these coupons still working?

    for the $100 off coupon it said
    **Coupon offer valid 06/04/07 10am CT - 08/03/07 11:59pm CT. Offer valid on Inspiron, XPS and Latitude systems. Coupon not combinable with other coupons. Coupon is not combinable with Dell Home and Home Office instant dollars off, percent off, or mail-in rebates. One coupon per customer. Coupon is for one-time use only.

    the $150 off coupon says:
    Use the Dell Preferred Account1 to purchase from Dell and you can save even more. From now until August 3, 2007, Dell Preferred Account customers can receive $100 off purchases of $999 or more or $150 off purchases of $1,299 or more (before tax, fees, shipping & handling).
    Offer expires at 11:59pm CT on August 3, 2007

    so you should get them applied. Just read this off to them
