How much does EPP save?

Hey everyone,

I was just curious how much (% off) the EPP price saves over the current deals being offered at Lenovo.com.

Also, is there anyone willing to share their EPP deal with me that is not interested in getting a system for themselves? I want to get a T61 if possible. If so, please PM me.

Any and all information provided is truly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
Hayden

 

I think it's 15% off with the EPP discount.

 

^No way. It's more like 5-6%.

 

It's an employee program, so whoever shares it with you has to be okay with giving out personal information to a total stranger. Just stick with the Campus Purchase Program.

 

It varies from time to time. Right now they have 15% plus an additional 25% off for Memorial Day.

Hey SpOOn,

Thanks for posting the EPP code. I had to pull the trigger on it! Here is what I got:

7662CTO ThinkPad T61 with nVIDIA Graphics - $1,236.73
-Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7500 (2.2GHz 800MHz 4MBL2)[1]
-Genuine Windows Vista Home Basic
(I already own Vista Ultimate)
-14.1 WXGA+ TFT, w/ Camera
-nVIDIA Quadro NVS 140M
-1 GB PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM 667MHz SODIMM Memory (1 DIMM)
(I got another 1GB Stick for $45.00 Already)
-UltraNav (TrackPoint and TouchPad)
-100GB Hard Disk Drive, 7200rpm
-Intel Turbo Memory 1GB
-Bluetooth Integrated
-DVD Recordable 8x Max Dual Layer, Ultrabay Slim[5]
-Intel Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN[10]
-4 cell Li-Ion Battery[60]
-7662: 1 Year Depot Warranty - Express[7]
-1 Year On Site Upgrade with 1 Year ThinkPad Protection $95.20
-ThinkPad Advanced Mini Dock with US/Canada/LA Line Cord $157.68

Tax $115.06
Recycling $12.00

Lenovo Total - $1616.67
(Minus TailorMade Amex 10% Discount) = ($161.67)

GRAND TOTAL = $1455.00 (plus $45.00 for extra 1GB sodimm)

Not too shabby of a deal for about $1500.00 if the deal goes through and Lenovo doesn't cancel it, LOL!

I'll keep everyone posted if the Laptop ever does ship.

Thanks again for all of your help and input!

 

I stand corrected. I assumed EPP offered the same discount as the Student Discount.

 

Most students can get a *MUCH* better deal than the employees EPP, though on very limited selection, through a campus deal. Students must be a bonafide student at the institution and you are limited to one purchase per year. Find it on campus, like at your bookstore or something

 

15%....I just got it yesterday.

 

Somebody told me items bought through EPP can not be returned. Is that true?

 

Yessssssss

 

Yesss?! Does it make sense at all? Where is it written? What if the product is faulty?

 

Under the terms & conditions of the EPP, only if the product is DOA (dead on arrival), can it be returned. Better tell them in a day or two if that happens. Otherwise no exhange, no returns, no refudnds.

 

Under normal non-EPP conditions, are there any penalties if one wishes to make a return? (e.g. a 15% restocking fee, etc?)
