    I've seen about 3 people yesterday on various places post 5% off dell coupons, of course they were all stackable and of course i miss them all. Does anyone know how people are receiving these 5% off coupons? I have been subscribed to dells mailing list for a month that I've been laptop shopping but so far nothing. Anybody have a clue or hell a coupon they don't need?

    Thank you,
    Doug

    I chat with Dell online and they issued me a $100 coupon. You might try this and ask for a coupon.

    I didn't really complain lol maybe to them it sounded like i was. I just said i'd like to order a Dell laptop but could not find any good coupon's, at first a $50coupon was issued but i never received it and chat with them several times wondering why i hadn't,then they sent the $100 coupon.
    Hope this helps.

    meh just spoke to a chat representative and no such luck here. oh bother, I was hoping not to spend as much as I'm going to be, it looks like I'll have to. Thanks though!

    Before you give up try again you might get a different one.
    I wish the first one had helped you though.

    I appreciate the help a lot goose, but I chatted again, no go. Called up the number I finally squeezed out of him, she said to quote "dell is all ready losing money on this laptop, I cannot issue a discount (then went on to explain why it could not be done and that stackable coupons are just randomly sent). so ok it all came up to about $875, not what I wanted to spend but it will get me through at least the next few years of my life. once again thanks!
