Hi James,

The method above is the best way of getting online discount. the rep email is another way. never the twain shall meet i'm afraid! The dell quote is offered solely offline. without an e-value code, you couldnt use it on the website. So its a case of going with whatever quote is best! if the online method is cheaper than the rep, than go online. Baring in mind the cashback can take 60 days to arrive! so be prepared to pay the slightly higher cost while you wait for the cashback!

Good luck! You'll love owning an alienware!

 

sorry don't know of any other codes. but both codes worked and quidco. Problem is I have received two laptops which have been faulty!! and now waiting to received the third which will be with me by 24th jan!! but don't care cos got so much off... hopefully 3rd time lucky, guys in factory must have been thinking about xmas hols when built my laptop

 

evil the thing is the email quote i recieved is what the laptop price should of been on the internet it was not my fault that their online system is not allowing the code to work with the sale item.

might ring again today and talk to a higher up sales advisor, thanks james

 

You can also get a 10% discount if you register with dell, but it isnt stackable.

 

No worries James, having spoken with reps the best prices do seem to be online using that cashback, e-value, discount route. as they cant match that extra 10.1% top up!

Karan, yeah, its weird that! on alienware they state a 10% discount voucher. yet the 15% dell one works anyway! So best to ignore the 10% one! They also email you a 10% voucher if you leave a system in your basket. but again, you get a better deal running through the method i listed on the last page!

As a brucey bonus, i also threatened to return my machine, and they gave me 10% refund to keep it! another trick to try if you're feeling brave! Also helped that cashback was 15.1% when i got mine too!

 

evil how good is your rep not including the 10.1% topup how much off the regular price do you think he could get as atm i am being charged 1468- 15%


which is the basic price

 

Its my rep.

 

cheers steve but ur rep still hasnt contacted me

 

I'm talking with him now, I will give him a reminder to contact you. If you wanna PM me with a contact tel.no, then he can give you a call if you like.

 

cheers steve atm i am battling with dell about discount vouchers not being valid with their promotional offers etc getting more and more stressed lol bad times

 

the updated prices on dmxdimension now include the 10% off dell voucher, unfortunately this doesnt stack with the 15% off dell voucher. so basically the prices atm are the same eg 999£ for m14x and 1299£ for m17x and you can use the 15% off voucher and free delivery.

 

in regard to topcashback ? i have 2 questions what price does it give 10% is it before u put the 15% DISCOUNT on the dell website or after and also dos it include that vat price or not.

because this will determine my decision to go and use codes all the way or accept the offer from the dell rep

 

as a follow up is the 3d screen worth it as it is almost 180 pounds more.

thanks

 

Don't know about the cashback question but I would say the 3d screen is worth it, simply for the refresh rate of 120hz. I'm not a 3d fan but if you like that kinda thing, its a great feature to have at the outset. Also, if you do go 3d now, it will work out ALOT cheaper than trying to upgrade the screen aftermarket.

 

Cashback is 10% of the pre VAT rate. thats AFTER the discount.

Why not get an e-value code with 3d screen built in?

N00W7V04 - £1399 M17x

 

do you guys reckon the 580 upgrade and blu ray is worth it

 

Without a shadow of a doubt, yes - for the 580m. Depends on how much you will watch blu rays on a small screen though as to how much use you will get from the internal bluray player.

 

ok guys, bad times. The 15% vouchers have finished it seems. we're down to 10% with free delivery.

NS2JV1DP30C$WK - 10% off til 18th jan

JW2T$56GB3ZG0R - Free delivery til 18th jan.

And remember to process the order correctly to get the best discount!

1) find the model you want on dmxdimension.co.uk. get the e-value code.
2) register with topcashback and use the dell links to click through to alienware. (this will track your 10.1% cashback)
3) enter the e-value code in the search box on the dell website. configure your system, and add to basket!
4) enter the vouchers above for added discount!
5) pay for the machine, get it in a few days, then wait a few weeks to get your cashback!

You'll be happily suprised with the price you can get an alienware M14x or M17x for! sadly the M18x isnt discounted much to begin with!

Good luck!

 

also dell are sending out discount vouchers to people between 5 and 50% suprisingly mine was a 5% one

 

All good things come to an end I guess. Still, any saving is a good one considering that Dell really dont need to discount these systems for them to sell.

They do this promotion from time to time - its always been 5% for me so god knows who gets a 50% one !

If anyone wants to go the direct route of dealing with my rep, feel free to hit me up.

 

yeah, 50% always ends up being some rubbish printer. you only ever get 5% against system! Still, better than a kick in the teeth i guess!

ok, spoke to "the rep" that me and stevie chat with. Lovely fella he is!

He said he has some vouchers that he can use that arent online. he cant promise 15%, but he reckons he might be able to sneak a few through if people want to send the details to Stevie or me, and we can send them on. As a reminder, we're not allowed to post his name on here, which is why we ask for details. Its Steve's rep, i just happen to know him through the business i work for as well!

At the end of the day, if you dont ask, you dont get!

Cheers!

 

Exactly! - I'm all for saving a few quid where you can, wether it be through a direct purchase via "our good friend" or via cashback sites. At the end of the day, given the current economic climate, we all want to save as much as possible !

 

That's my £214 cashback been paid into my quidco account now. Anyone concerned getting cashback shouldn't be worried.

 

Well, my first £85.42 back from topcashback a few days ago. and the 2nd (where they messed up, giving me 10% not 15% as offered, then getting their maths wrong and over compensating) payment of £69.86 is confirmed, but not yet paid!

Gotta love the cashback sites to get that extra bit off stuff!

 

have the option of getting a alienware m17xr3 with 2670 580gt normal ram normal hd full hd 3d screen blue ray player and the wireless upgrade for 1231 what u guys think

 

Sounds good - whats the "full" price of that spec before discount? - around £1800 ? - if so, you cant sniff at 30% total discount, I would take that kinda deal .....

 

1750 was the original price got an email quote from 1 of the reps you reckon your rep could do better ?

 

What you guys dont realise is that if you speak to one rep and get a quote, any rep that you deal with after can see that. If you do this too many times, the reps will just laugh at you and take you for a timewaster - which menas they wont even bother to offer you a good deal because you have already shown a track record of "too much shopping about"

You could try my rep again, but the reps wont fight each other to give you a lower price.

 

People.

Xmas has ended.. no vouchers this week bar free delivery. So the best route for discount is indeed "the rep". Feel free to try your own. But steve and i have built a good rapport with this dell rep. So feel free to PM either one of us and we'll pass the details on to the rep to contact you.

As always, i'll keep an eye out for discounts and post what i find. Please post any vouchers that work! i've tested quite a few "10%" vouchers today, and none are working on alienware, but are working on XPS.

 

I'm guessing you need a minimum number of posts to PM you Stevie? Because I can't seem to so I'm either being stupid or don't have enough posts! (Sorry if this is kind of obvious, I'm very new here).

 

Yeah - it normally takes between 5 - 10 posts to get you PM priveledges. Once you have posted enough, drop me a line!

 

Ah cheers, I'll get right on it! Haha it's quite hard to get a post count up on a notebook forum when all I have is my ancient desktop at the moment!

 

No probs. Feel free to contact me whenever. You can post in any thread, even ones that are for off topic discussions.....just find one where you wanna add your two pennies LOL

 

Hey just a quick question im considering going for the m17 is the 1920 upgrade from the basic 1600 neccesary ?

also do dell vouchers work on outlet items ?

 

In a nutshell...yes and then no.

Always get the best display you can at time of purchase as it will cost far more later on to upgrade. If you go 1600, you obvioulsy wont get full HD and alltogether, it wont be as good as experience as a full 1920x1080 screen due to resolution/pixels ratio.

I looked at Dell vouchers a while back and last time I tried to apply a coupon, it didnt work. afaik, they only work on new system purchases.

 

There's a lack of juicy vouchers at the moment. Need some lovely 10/15% to make an appearance again!

 

indeed pauly! you missed the great xmas deals! But get 10 posts on here, and PM Steviejones133 or me, and a great dell rep will do what he can to get you discount!

 

Hi no useable codes again i checked last night .

 

i still havent got my topcashback yet xd but my cashback is £20 more then usual, its 103. OH btw i didnt get that extra 10% off by soppurt complaining thingy - they didnt buy it PPP

 

As I'm pretty new...how often do they release 10/15% coupons? Is it only a special christmas/new year thing or do they do it every so often?

I'm guessing the rep would be the route to go now, gonna make a purchase at the beginning of March time I reckon.

 

Well, the situation changes every week. So keep an eye on the forum as we post vouchers as often as we find them! And if no vouchers are available, then go for the rep!

Shame the 10% refund trick didnt work. sometimes doesn, sometimes doesnt. luck of the draw i guess!

Oh, and my £155 cashback on my £1030 system FINALLY got cleared! So thats a final outlay of £750 for my £1344 M14x. i did extremely well, and there was definate luck on my side!!

 

ok i finally have money and they want 1460 for the same laptop they offered me 3 weeks ago for 1210

 

lol no vouchers and quidco is down to 5% from 15 this is the worst new year for shopping ever

 

yup, its all change in the world of discount. gone from 10% off, free delivery, and 15.1% cashback in november, to free delivery and 5% cashback.

And the reps will still have their hands tied! That said, they'll give you the best price they can! all you can do is tell them you have X to spend, and you cant go above that. if they cant meet you, then you'll have to take the money elsewhere.

Dont forget tho, reps talk to each other! so no point playing them off against each other!

Also, there's always the outlet to look at? Or be realistic about the spec you want. do you need that SSD? or 16gb ram? sometimes being realistic about your system can save quite a bit! and you can upgrade some things later!

 

I would kill to get your spec or similar for the price you got it Evilras, so jealous! (that's the kind of spec I'm interested in buying, but not at a crazy price)

 

I was VERY lucky it seems with my deal and subsequent refunds and cashbacks. but just to show off, £1344 down to £750.

/smug

 

Pfffffft so crazy! I'd take 1.5GB, 4GB RAM, not too fussed about Killer wireless and I'd settle for the i5 for that price. I hate life.

 

dude this sucks i just wanna find an ok deal ebay deals are awful as are the discounts

 

Just gotta be patient I guess. I'm waiting a month or so till I get paid and I'm gonna see what vouchers are available up until then. If there aren't any good ones I'll phone up a rep and hope for the best.

 

You should try the outlet theres usually some bargains on there.
