Dell Mystery Code

I really think this will come back during the holidays. They had these 10-20-30 just this past April or so if I remember correctly and definitely some time in the future. My only question mark is will they allow people to get new coupons right away? I'll keep you in mind during the next promo!

 

Thanks mate.
Holidays, that means christmas? Maybe too long for me to wait though. Will see how much patience I got

 

yea I trying to buy a gaming laptop for my son . Alienware 18 , MSI GT70 2OD-039 or Asus G750JH

Alienware is 1,000.00 more with the same customized spec when i try it. If dell giving out 30% coupon code for gaming laptop I buy it If not I will go with the other two.

 

To be fair, since the Alienware 18 is a dual gfx SLI system, you really should be comparing the Alienware 17 with those other systems...Also, the 30% off coupon was given out to 1 out of 100 people. The odds weren't super to get one, but it was there. Since you're also forced to get a dual gfx card system, the price comparison isn't fair so it's 1k more, but the systems are sorta night and day different in terms of expandability and what's available in the marketplace. There are a lot of 17" systems out there with high end gfx cards, but only 2 I believe which can do dual 780m SLI.

Bottom line is if you're happy with the others or your son is, nothing wrong with those other systems. Getting a deal takes time and patience and might not be worth it if it's for your son neither.

 

Does this happen in the USA only or the UK too?

 

Only the United States because Dell left and feels bad, so, they give us better support and 30% off coupons.

 

The best you can get in the UK is 10% off before your order... also if your order arrives and is in a bad shape (scratched or whatever), you can claim an additional 5-10% back

coupons working today but promotion starting tomorrow

 

took several tries but got a 20% off coupon

so now I have to decide whether it's worth canceling my existing order and saving an additional 10% off but wait longer to get my system...

 

Please give me the coupon and get another. I'm without a PC!

Edit: making emails on my iPhone sucks.

 

Makes me glad I bought a bunch of AW 17's with the last 30% off

 

How did you do that? It was supposed to be limit 1 per customer.

There is a loophole....that I wont mention

 

Anyone else having issues with Dell's site?

 

Same here.Site is probably getting hammered cause the new Aurora just came out.

 

well it's telling me my coupon is expired or has been used the max amount of times despite me having not used it and it supposedly not expiring for another 4 days

 

I hate the fact that these coupons don't work with the AW17. I don't see why it shouldn't... Whoever is making up these rules and restrictions is hurting Alienware more than they're helping. Even if people get 5%, 10%, or even 20% off, you're still building revenue.

 

does your coupon at least still work? I'm beginning to wonder if they sent coupon codes out multiple times and someone else got the same code as me and used it...

 

Look like its dead even if u have a valid coupon

I put in my email, got the coupon in email, they offered my the 5% coupon, its randon which % you get, checked out the AW-18 deals, plus all they offer a good deal on monitors.

 

I think he meant that even if you have a valid coupon you can't apply it right now, Dell is really glitchy today

 

I was able to apply it today so the system is working on my pc, or hopefullly for anyone looking to save a few bucks on a new purchase.

 

No, mine doesn't work either.

A rep told me the coupon is valid and should work, but there's something wrong with the system. They changed the way you acquire the coupon this morning during all of that downtime Dell was experiencing. He also said that he can get a manager to verify it and apply the discount manually, if need be.

I'm awaiting his call tomorrow.

 

ugh well hopefully they just fix the system tomorrow

 

use the emails and register where to get coupons? i'd assume only in the states?

 

So, today, Dell told me that everyone who gets the 20% off coupon gets the exact same code and whoever uses it first, gets the 20% off. First come first serve basis... Supposedly someone already used the one I got, so, it's no longer valid.

First, I was told my coupon was expired, which is impossible. And then I was told the above...

 

that's utter BS because I got 2 and they were unique, it really seems like their sales people have no idea what they're talking about most of the time

 

Either way, I can't use mine, at least they won't let me. Are yours still valid?

And also, when I goto that site, it says the offer has ended, LOL.

 

nope, neither of mine work and haven't since Thursday morning

really regretting not doing this Wednesday night now *sighs*

 

I tried to get a new coupon and it says the offer ended. What's the deal? Someone at Alienware/Dell is really screwing up this deal for them. Fired.

 

The rules are: the coupons are the worms and its up to you to be the early bird, because if you humming and howing about what to get.... its too late. Now your prepared for next time, so keep an eye on the coupon launch and jump all over it.

 

I had the coupon 24 hours before the sale even started, LOL. I did jump on it like white on rice... Dell changed something with their website and it voided my coupon(s).

 

Not sure for this specific case, but I see a LOT of dell coupons have that verbage where the promo lasts till so and so or until the code is redeemed enough...I've also had personal codes mailed to me in those paper ads in the mail and the code would expire when I try it...(typically not right away however).

Sorta like newegg, I don't think the reps are lying and they probably have a limit on the number that can be redeemed.

 

I just got 600+ off my Alienware 17 package:

just him jakehungar refer you

 

I know this is an older thread but I wanted to give it a shot. I already have a quote for about 400 off my alienware 18. If i try and get a better quote will it cancel out my first one? If he gave you 600 on a 17 he could probably do the same on my 18?

 

Doubtful. You just missed a lot of sales. They're going to be strict moving into the holidays and afterwards, until about March or April, right before the new revisions come out.

 

Dell outlet has a 25% off coupon right now. It will expire on the 20th of this month.

 

I just got a Dell mystery code, good for 15% off. Along with the 5% dell advantage account means 20% saving. Ends 6-2-2014:hi2:

 

I believe it said ends 6-2-2014 OR until redeemed. That might mean you can stretch it past the 2nd and still get the deal but once the code has been used it is null and void.

 

Just used the coupon to purchase an AW18 i7-4810 256mSATA boot, w 3 year warranty. The Dell advantage was only good for 4% but it saved me 19%. Total was about $2150 before taxes after 19% discounts. Killer deal for a backup system. I like the large clear screen on my AW18 I currently have with a i7-4930 CPU.The coupon had to be redeemed by 6-2-2014 7pm EST, you can't stretch it past the deadline to get the good deal. The mystery coupons are worth anywhere from 5-15% so I lucked out to get one with the 15% off. They only offer this deal about once a year, so you have to strike fast if you need a PC or laptop.

 

They offer it at least two times per year. Last year after Black Friday, they had a Mystery Coupon sale up to 30% off.

That just shows how much these systems are marked up.

 

The thing that really bugs me about these 'mystery codes' is that they only work if you are in the US - at least the last time I tried to use one, that was the case. Do Dell really think that their only market is at home??? - surely it would not take too much effort to make these codes globally acceptable across all Dell regions.......

Min-rant over!

 

Another thing that bothers me about them is that they release them right before a refresh. Do you wait on the 860m in the 14 ( because you really need portability and not a DTR) or do you use the 20% now on a new 17/18 powerhouse which still underperforms compared to the previous gens. Ugh

 

That is so crappy, bro. I would be angry, too. Not only do you not get these coupons, but your system prices are much higher? Not fair at all. But, business is business.

Another crappy thing about the codes is that there's only X amount of each percentage. They are not "newly generated" every time you try it with your email. They're pulled from a group of codes that already exist each time you enter a new email, and are good until redeemed. So, more than one person can get each code, and whomever claims it first, wins.

If you get a 15% off promotional coupon code do not wait around! Someone else may have gotten the same code.

 

True, Bro - not gonna whine about UK prices though. Still, you'd think that because of those high prices (not just the UK, but other Countries as well) it would have been better for Dell to roll out those discounts across the board. I really don't see why they cannot. What you mention about the codes also sucks.....

As for the timing of these 'mystery giveaways', they always appear to coincide with a refresh - basically Dell's way of having a 'clear out' if you like.....I can see the sense in that and I appreciate that it would NOT be good business sense to time these codes with a new arrival. 30% off a newly launched product? - maybe hell would freeze over first LOL.

 

Are these mystery codes available/usable in Canada? I thought they were last time around but I can't find anywhere to get one or redeem one. I get the Dell emails so I should have received one?
