Discount from online sales rep

Hi guys, I recently purchased a T410 after a while of decision making. I started a chat with online sales rep on the Lenovo website. I talked to her for a while asking her questions about the ThinkPad T410 and the IdeaPad Y460. She eventually asked me if she wanted me to have her quote me a price on both of them. I told her that would be fine. I also gave her a 5% off coupon code. Later, I told her I found a 10% off coupon code that had recently expired. She said she would see if her manager could override it. She replied later saying if I couldn't get it to work, then she couldn't either. I replied telling her if she could get me 10% off (which would take care of the tax for me), that I would complete the purchase. Needless to say, she immediately sent me back a quote with the 10% taken off.

Not sure if this a typical practice with them. I figured it might be, but I haven't read about anyone else doing this since I've been reading around on this forum the past couple days.

If it's not a known practice, I thought I'd give the heads up to anyone who wanted a little more of a deal on something they were contemplating.

 

Lenovo always has deals, so I would say this is quite normal. For instance, in Canada 25% off is pretty normal, and up to 35% off is always offered through visaperks.ca (valid until 2011). Congrats on the purchase though.

 

Yeah, that sounds about right, most of the purchases I heard around here happen something like this. I guess they really want to strive to make sales.

 

For those who like to purchase notebook from Lenovo.ca just type "CAPBANNERS" all CAP for ecode and it give very good discount
