    Do 10% off coupons stack with the educational discount?

    I'm about to order a Studio 15. It looks like the EPP exclusive one is easily the best deal, but I'm waiting to see if a 10% coupon comes out. I've seen older post where people mention usiing them. So I've got two questions:

    1) Do the coupons stack with the 7% off discount?
    and
    2) How often do these coupons come out?

    This is for the US, btw.

    Thanks.

    Keep in mind that EPP 'exclusive' deal is selling you a 2 year warranty as well. If you dont mind a one year warranty, your build will be cheaper by just starting from scratch?

    Actually the exclusive is 5 dollars cheaper than the one without the warranty, with everything else set exactly the same. And I could use the warranty (especially since it comes with accident protection).

    is it just me or does the EPP program only allow a 32-bit version of windows vista option. I'm using Phi Kappa Phi (honor society) for the discount. Looking at the studio 15. Also my EPP only offers a 1 yr warranty.

    If they are specific to EPP you can stack..However; if you see one on Dell's home site...your EPP Rep should be able to match it, and give you your 7% discount on top of that.

    You would need to do this all by phone, of course! ;) I just ordered 2 mice, and my EPP Rep, matched Dell's Small Biz's 25% & Gave me my 7% on top of that! :)

    Oh, that's the Rep. I have used for a long time. Sometimes the company you have your EPP thru, has a dedicated rep. Or, when you call, you just get that Rep that works really well with you ~ and ends up being your dedicated Rep.
