    Yes. I got a large discount in exchange for signing up for a Dell Preferred Account.

    Always buy thru them, extra protection as I have canceled thru them and even returned thru them since they carry the finance. They have more pull. :cool:

    I would like to, but unfortunately have to be 18 and I am only 16 so guess I will need to wait a few months and buy it normally, just a question what is a dell preferred account and how does it work and also i understand what you mean alien.

    Where do you see that you get 10% off? I know there used to be a 3% off deal when the M17x R1 and R2 were being sold, but I haven't seen any percentage off deals for financing since then.

    How do you sign up? Is that offer specific to your account or would I be able to use that offer through a link? 10% is a big deal! :eek:

    I got my M6600 through Dell Finance as well. I ordered it through the phone, and the sales rep I was speaking with was really pushing me to sign up for it, so I gave in at the end. Did anyone else get an APR of 29.99%? I find it strange, but I plan on paying off my bill entirely once it arrives, so it may be moot...
