    I am telling you it can be done so you can be creative and come with your own plan. I am not going to do all your home work for you :cool:

    Getting something worth $200-$400 for free on a single laptop worth about $1250 through a home-user account is pretty hard to believe. I'm not that creative.

    Have you even tried ? It took me about 10 calls to find something that worked.

    Yeah, I tried. I was only able to get $50 off for extending to 4 years complete care from my original 1 year mail-in warranty. Came out to $334-$50 = $294. I also got a $75 coupon, but that means I have to buy more stuff.
