    I registered at delluniversity.com, and I did not receive at $200 coupon. I received an email confirming my registration, but no coupon. Am I missing something?

    Nor did I, but honestly dont worry about it. I called in and got hooked up with a huge discount b/c I'm a student. They just automatically added it. I ended up getting the 1420 priced at 2,343 for 1,499.98! Honestly they hooked me up. Just give them a call and tell them about it.

    I left out a few things, but the cost comes out to over 2,200 dollars and they hooked me up with a price of 1499.98. It was amazing! She just kept putting me on hold and saying "let me see what I can do for you"!

    You only get the coupon if you registered within the last 2-3 days. You have to re-register with a different edu address if you want the coupon.

    Ya I did everything within the last three days and never got anything. But that is fine because if you just call them and tell them, they hook you up with even more stuff which obviously helped me out alot...over 700 dollars off

    You can probably just say, "I didn't get the $200 coupon, and I configired this system for [whatever], help me out," and they'd give you the $200 off. Plus, if you act really peeved that you had to call, they'll give you even more.

    i didnt get the chance to use my coupon because it expired literally only a few days after i got it. i was just browsing during that time and figuring out which one was right for me so i didnt order soon enough.

    Anyway, my brother has a .edu email address that he doesnt use. If I use that one, do you think they'll send another $200 off? The older one before expired on 7/26 so I dont know if they're gonna send a new one or the promo just lasts that long and its over forever

    No, and also you bumped a very old topic. The Dell University coupons don't work anymore.

    thank you for the response.

    i'd rather bump a new one than start a new thread. it might be old as its been over a month since someone posted in it, but the content covered is still fresh. people still talk about the university discounts even in August. example: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=149734
