    FYI, the $100 can be applied as long as the price before EPP 10% is above $1000.

    My order went from 1019 to 919, EPP still took the 10% off the 1019, then I took $50 more off :D

    Total Cost: $767.10 AND I still will get the DPA 3%!!

    Well someone called me and told me that I'd have to cancel it then reorder.. but that involved doing all this stuff that I could not understand.. He spoke way too fast and unclear.

    I just stuck with it = / .... oh well I guess...

    SO just for clarification....
    If the one im configuring is $1024 before EPP.

    I can get the:
    $50 off for signing up for EPP emails
    10% off for EPP
    then an extra $100 off because its over $1k
    free shipping

    but not the additional $50 off if its under 1k (I can't stack this with the $100 off correct?)
    If this is true im getting $771.60 before tax
    sound about right?

    Also with my financial aid through college I wont have the money until Monday, is there any way I could get the same deal then, or but it now and have it billed next week? Perhaps by talking to a rep somethign could be figured out? Anyone know about this at all, cause I will prolly buy it with all these discounts but deff not without them.
    Would they typically be accomodating about this?
    thanks!
    :)

    Right. You can sign up for the epp emails for $50 off. Then use the $100 off of $1000. You can also get the EPP discount. Add the DPA 3% if you order over the phone.

    What about Dell billing me later for it, is there anyway I can have it "on hold" until Monday at all? Or have the rep give me the same amount off? Anybody know about doing this at all? any experiences? This will really help me alot. thanks!

    Not sure about billing later, but DPA right now is 12-month no interest anyway.

    Your best best is applying for DPA and then paying it off right away. The 100$ off coupon expires tomorrow.

    Looks like Dell killed the coupon stacking :(. Tried to stack the $100 coupon and emailed $50 one and it's no go.

    You can't add the 3% online, but you can configure your machine and then call. They can grab what's in your cart and then add the 3%. :)

    That's what I did...

    if anyone got the Dell catalog today, they're offered a promo that doubles your ram for free when you order the m15x,m17x, or the aurora.
    the e-value code is 6F992-DKPCFP5 for m15x
    6F992-DKPCBP5 for m17x

    It states that you can double whatever ram you choose for free.

    anyone know if you can add the epp discount, $100 off, and this memory upgrade?

    apparently not. I just ordered mine and they would not offer me the DPA 3%. The rep stated that you can only get the 3% the first time you use your dell preferred account. The did offer me next day shipping. ---fail.

    got 10%EPP and 100.00 coupon. 1024 before tax ended up being 883 out the door.

    So i put it on my American express card. That doubled the warranty from 1 to 2 years and i'll get 1or 2% of that back.

    fair trade in my opinion.
