    Can you stack the 25% discount coupon with spp? It seems no. I found that applying the discount to regular price gets the same final total as if you apply the discount to spp. Is there anything stackable on the 25% discount?

    Most coupons cannot be stacked with discount programs. I found that the best price a "regular" person can get is the Visa cardholder discount + USXHOLIDAY coupon. It gives you a total of 33% off.

    How does that work? Does that work out cheaper than the employee discount?

    www.lenovo.com/visa. Enter coupon USXHOLIDAY at checkout. Must use a visa card for purchase obviously.

    Unfortunately I didn't know of this offer. I used Amex because of its warranty extension program (perhaps Visa has a similar one, but I have had experience with Amex so feel more assured to use it). I guess there is no way to go back to get that extra 15%, as it's not like creating a quote would do. :mad:

    When I hit the apply but in the end it did not show the discount and said the discount wasn't available. I enetered the code in the end after I customized my order but it was before I enetered my credit card details. Ordering a X200 Tablet.

    I ordered a t400 through EPP on the blackfriday promo.
    The promo was 25% - but when logged into EPP, it was only 10% or something like that using teh same promo. I called Lenovo and they said you cannot get full discount codes using EPP etc, but some codes can at least still give a partial discount... otherwise it's be like 40% off and rediculously cheap. I assume SPP is same scenerio - still cheaper than just regular joe plus reg discount though.
