    when i am trying to configure a m1330, it tells me that there is a discount of $642. but why can't i put a coupon code on top of that to make it even cheaper? or am i just not doing it right?

    the 20/25% off coupon takes off the instant discount

    try configuring from the most basic model (they dont have an instant discount), then use the coupon

    You cannot use combine the Instant Discount and the Coupon together. You can only use either at any given time for each individual system. Dell will simply not allow you to use both.

    They aren't stackable discounts.
