    Anyone use the 33% off AMEX?

    Is that site legit? If you click on "I want it". It asks you to enter your credit card number on an unsecure webpage (no http s).

    Site does seem to be legit (amexnetwork.com is owned by American Express).

    I'm guessing maybe the Flash file itself is secure.

    But yeah, no more deals are available for this.

    It says 33% off the list price (not the sale price as listed on Lenovo's website. It comes out to roughly 8.5% discount from the sale prices (this is on the T61 14.1w).

    I also agree with Stallen that the site is not secured and may be some kind of phishing scam. I would call Amex and verify this before I input my info.

    Here is what it was yesterday:

    http://www.americanexpressofferzone...rchtype=keyword&countrycd=us&searchfor=lenovo

    Save up to 28% off ThinkPad T & X series notebooks and up to 25% off the ThinkPad R series.

    It doesn't make you enter your card because it's unlimited. The reason it makes you enter your card number is because there is a limit and you MUST be a card member....not because they are trying to steal your card.

    Anyway you can use that and get up to 28% off...then use "USXFAMILY" for 5% more.
