    Hey guys -

    I was trying to find the VISA site, and for the hell of it googled "lenovo visa canada" and it brought me to the following:

    http://visa.ca/vsfb/offer/Lenovo/index.jsp

    Anyhow, 30% still applies...

    Happy New Year!

    L.

    P.S. For some reason, I get a blank screen using Mozilla, but IE works...

    Nope, still says up to 25%, and only for orders over $1800. :(

    This made me think about trying out the USPPRESIDENTSDAY coupon on top of the SPP discount. The (US) SPP discount used to be 15% on the w510. It is now only 5%, but they let you stack the USPPRESIDENTSDAY coupon which is worth 10%. This is actually a worse deal than before though, by stacking 10% on top of 5%, you net a 14.5% discount. Apparently Lenovo doesn't think their customers can do math.

    That's 25% on top of the 10% that you already get discounted by pricing out that laptop through the visa portal though. Yes, you have to spend $1800 (up from $1500 from before), but with all the upgrades that you end up choosing for something like a W510, you're going to probably hit that anyway...

    do you actually need a business visa card to put down an order? anybody had a successful experience with this?

    I thought visaperks used to give out 35% off.

    I priced a W510 to just over 1800, and after the 25% it came down to $1366, pretty good deal for a loaded one.

    Can you post the basic specs? I want to compare that to what I can get through SPP (in the US).

    I am guessing this won't work for US consumers? The best I have seen is 15% off for SPP/EPP with no ability to stack on top of that. Has anyone seen anything better? Feel free to PM me if you feel more comfortable.
