    I've seen people talk about "stackable" epp coupons here, but never seen any codes or links.
    Are they for real (by for real I mean open for everyone to use(as long as in EPP))?

    If so.. Where can I find? :p

    Although I'm not sure, I might have had one of those coupons applied automatically on my deal that I checked out...

    I have this deal in my cart:


    Dell Members save $699 off this select XPS System!
    as well as
    12% off systems priced $1600 and up with 3/4 yr At-Home service.

    and
    Save $50 on the 948 All in One RED Printer!

    This brings my $2,246.00 laptop + $149.00 printer to total of $1,448.48 (before tax), which I think is a pretty good deal. But still, if there are better deals out there I want them :)

    If anyone cares, these are the specs:

    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo Processor T9300 (2.5GHz/800Mhz FSB, 6MB Cache)
    4GB Shared Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM at 667MHz (2 Dimms)
    High Resolution, glossy widescreen 15.4 inch LED LCD (1440x900) & 2.0 M
    256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® 8600M GT
    160GB 7200rpm SATA Hard Drive Free Fall Sensor
    Slot Load DVD+/-RW (DVD/CD read/write)
    Integrated Sound Blaster Audigy HD Software Edition
    Dell Wireless 1505 Wireless-N Mini-card
    Finger Print Reader XPS M1530
    Dell Wireless 355 Bluetooth Internal (2.0+Enhanced Data Rate)

    3Yr Ltd HW WRTY, InHome Service after Remote Diagnosis, 24x7 Phone Support
    Accident and Theft Protection Add Accidental Damage and LoJack Theft Protection to 3Yr Warr.

    Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium Edition SP1
    Microsoft® Works 2008
    McAfee SecurityCenter with anti-virus, anti-spyware, firewall, 36-months
    56 WHr 6-cell Lithium Ion Primary Battery

    and

    Dell 948 RED All-In-One Printer

    Some of the stuff (like 3y accidental, Works and 36m mcafee were bundled in the $699 off deal)

    you have to start in the "public" section, not the "home user" section of thier site. In the public section you pick your category eg student- and it leads you to the relatively same site to make your build with some discounts already applied. However they make it very tricky, as some builds and combinations get more or less discounts. you have to play around. If you want to use the regular coupons (eg the 25% found on NBR) you may have to call the EPP customer service rep and ask them to apply the 25% coupon.

    also word has it that this is a great deal also: http://forums.slickdeals.net/showthread.php?sduid=0&t=862663

    with the specs u have, shouldn't be that expensivein dell EPP... go to slickdeals and talk with zxcasd.... zxcasd'll help u(DPA and other stuff) :p

    or actuallly ur deal looks fine(didnt see the free fall sensor)

    for DPA.... u have to apply for it, its like a credit account, but only for Dell

    to get the 4% DPA discount, u need to go to checkout, click on some payment type OTHER THAN DPA... then on the second page, click DPA... this way the discount will apply, otherwise, no..
