    Does anyone have a 20% or 30% mystery coupon that they aren't going to use? I will be ordering a fully loaded AW18 and I hate sounding like a beggar, but every percent off counts at that price. I used a few email accounts and was only able to get 10% off coupons. I would really appreciate it if someone would PM me a code.

    Check your accessories coupons, and see if you have a 30%. Maybe we can trade.

    Unfortunately they were all 10% as well. Would you consider selling me the coupon? PM me an offer if that sounds good to you.

    I actually cannot add it directly to an item, no matter the item. So I'm having it checked out via chat first before I give it away.

    PM sent anyway. Either way you go with it, let me know if it works for you!

    Is that all this discount code thing only happen in the US?
    Coz in Australia pretty bad deal we've got...
    I got 5% off by the student coupon and that's it...Also never heard that you can haggle to have a lower quote :(
    Dell doesn't even do accidental protection here and the extended warranty is a MASSIVE ripoff :mad:

    Would really appriciate if anyone recieved the coupon but is unable to use it, could perhaps help me :)

    That will put an end to the whole MSI vs Alienware debate I`m having in my head :p

    Mine was 20% on PC. I ordered on the 23rd of July and it shipped yesterday with delivery on the 1st of Aug. and just received the coupon this mornng. Called Dell and spent an hour after getting disconnected twice. At first they said they couldn't apply it to an already shipped item. After talking to 3 different reps, and explaining how stupid it was for me to return it when it arrives on the 1st unopened and reorder it for an extra $400 off, they finally succumbed to my request and refunded the amount. They couldn't argue the fact that it made no sense to do that. So, I ended up getting $600 off using my 10% coupon and the 20%. Makes its arrival on the 1st all the sweeter.

    I was adding it from the MPP site, that's what was so weird about it. I even opened another browser, checked the code, and used the links below the code confirmation to get to the computer I wanted to see the discount on. But I chatted in and confirmed its validity.

    Looks like I'm going to be putting my spare email accounts to use... unless I get lucky and score a 30% coupon early. I just missed out on the Dell Outlet 30% coupon but maybe I can manage something here. :radar:

    Edit: Well I got about 8 10% coupons for each category. Not too easy to get lucky. =/

    I used over 150 e-mails before I got the 30% off PC. And never got a 30% off accessories, though I wasn't really trying for that one, and probably missed a few.

    I entered for the coupon email and I haven't received a code in my email yet? It's been over an hour and I have checked my junk mail and there is nothing. I am getting an Alienware 17 and would love to get that 30% discount.

    I'd like to exchange my 20% accessories coupons with anyone who's willing to spare his/her 20% PC coupon. Of course if you'd like to exchange your 30% PC coupon that'd be even better :)

    EDIT: just noticed that I probably couldn't send PMs. So please let me know if you are interested in exchanging by emailing me at mercury1231 (AT) gmail.com

    I was pretty close to just giving up, that was too much time spent. Worth it though. :)

    How are you getting the coupons to combine? If I try to combine them I just get an error.

    I am in no way advocating any potential abuse of this promotion that may or may not occur, however, I would like to mention the fact that disposable email services, as well as free proxy servers, do in fact exist.

    It's only valid for another 11 hours or so. I think the fine print says 7/31 at 6AM.

    No, I find it hard to believe that people would do that. With that being said, I have a 20% off on PC and a 20% on accessories --

    20% off select PC:
    0JRCHRPT29NB2W

    20% off select accessories:

    I had already ordered mine with the 10% on the 23rd and it shipped last night. I received an email this morning and got the 20%. I called this morning to get a refund for the 20%. They said they couldn't after it had been shipped. After 3 different reps I explained that I would refuse delivery on Thurs. or send it right back unopened and reorder to get my additional $400. They finally agreed that that was rediculous and refunded my card $400. It says on the coupon it can be combined with other offers. I would go to the site and configure your rig then call them with the code. The 10% I had was for the 14 only available on alienware arena.

    I'm doing a run of codes now. I'll post 20%s on here, and I'll PM 30%s to select people. (Cloud, you're #1. I'm only going to do about 50 now, so I may not even get one.)

    These are PC only

    0L07C?35GHK2V7 - 20%

    0L6VP9W?29VMW$ - 20%

    0M?8TVF0?CLH4? - 20%

    0MLGKH87VSQ$VT - 20%

    0N1JKZTVZGW7VG - 20%

    Cloud's 30% is out. Quad, you're up next.

    Pretty cool folks are sharing. As I mentioned previously, this is probably the easiest to get a high % off. Considering haggling takes a lot of time as well, this might actually be easier since you know after about 100+ emails, you "should" get a 30% off. I don't think Dell meant for it to work this way though. In the past, I think Dell didn't send out a new coupon right away so you'd have to create a ton of emails and wait for it to occur again...

    I didn't see it posted, but the breakdown is 90% will get 10% off, 9% will get 20% off and 1% will get 30% off.

    I would probably do this and try harder to get a 30% off as well if I wasn't so broke. I did get some 10% PC coupons and a few 20% off accessories. The 20% code doesn't seem to work on the Alienware backpack though. Was there anything else worth buying?

    I'm still looking for a 30% Accessories, so be sure to check both. I might even trade 30% PC for 30% acc.

    I'm running pretty good odds. I'm up to about 70 emails, 2 30%, 8 20% for PC.

    I've done 200, and haven't gotten a 30% accessories yet. Admittedly, I probably only checked accessories for 3/4 of those.
