    Dell is well known for its ever changing deals and coupon codes. But this is an odd move, with the latest set of coupons Dell is offering customers either a $100 gift certificate for Linens n' Things or $75 off purchase price of your notebook. It's your choice, free bed linens or cash off. We have the coupon codes here so you can decide!


    The Linen's N Things Gift card is mailed separately if you choose to use that offer, the $75 off coupon will be removed at time of eligible purchase. These coupons CANNOT BE USED TOGETHER!


    $100 Linens and Things Gift Card with online purchase of a Dell Inspiron™ notebook $999 or more! Not combinable with other coupons.


    Valid: 6/10/04 12:00am CST to 6/13/04 ends 11:59pm CST
    Enter coupon code at checkout to receive this offer.
    Coupon Code: N4MDNRF7FVC8WN


    OR


    Save $75 on select online Inspiron notebook purchases $999 or more (before tax)! May not be combinable with Outrageous Deals, Recommended Solutions, dollars off, percentage off and select other promotions.


    Valid: 6/10/04 12:00am CST to 6/13/04 ends 11:59pm CST
    Enter coupon code at checkout to receive this offer.
    Coupon Code: HKMX0VH6LLJRT$


    Example Offers:


    Dell Inspiron 8600 for Home (Pentium M 1.4GHz, 256MB, 30GB)= $1124 aftercoupon


    Dell Inspiron 9100 (Pentium 4 2.8GHz, 256MB, 30GB)= $1224 after coupon


    Dell Inspiron 5150 for Home (Pentium 4 2.66GHz, 256MB, 30GB)=$1023 after coupon


    Dell Inspiron 600m (Pentium M 1.4GHz, 256MB, 30GB)= $1074 after coupon


    Dell Inspiron 300m (Pentium M 1.2GHz, 256MB, 30GB) = $1324 after coupon


    Dell Inspiron XPS (Pentium 4, 3.4GHz, 512MB RAM, 60GB) = $2224 after coupon


    I'm not sure what the logic is behind offering $100 towards your next bedding purchase, as computers and bedding are not complimentary products. Besides, most people would just rather have $100 off in cold hard cash and not as a gift certificate.

    It actually makes some sense to me, having sent one off to college last year and another to go this fall. I would take the additional $25 at Linens 'N Things since we'll be spending over $100 there again this year.

    Well there you go. Obviouslly some people are digging the promo. I'd also guess that Dell gets those gift cards at a heavy discount, LNT wants the branding and knows most people will spend well over the $100 card. Probably works out well for everyone.
