    I have to say the guy working there was a total idiot. I asked him about the Merom processor - he didn't even know what that was :rolleyes: The reason i went to the kiosk is because i read the thread on how to get more % taken off of your laptop, i already have a 35% coupon code, and i heard you can get an additional 5% or something if you go to the kiosk, but he said they never heard about that, and he told me that they have no coupon codes that you can stack on top of the 35% one. Im stumped

    I bet you read my thread about the 5% off at the Dell Direct Stores. Go back tomorrow and talk to someone else. Here is the scan of the flier I got. I'm going to try and use this over the phone tomorrow since I went to a kiosk but didn't order and it is a 2 hour drive each way to the nearest one.

    haha ya that was on the counter, and i was like isn't this 5% off of my purchase? Hes like "ya but i don't think that can be stacked with the 35%", and i was like just give me the coupon code and ill check, and he said oh well we have them in the back...then i realized i was wasting my time and left.


    So how do you use the 5% on top of the 35%? What is a Dell Direct Store?

    I know the 5% off will stack on top of the $750 off of $1999+. I have a print out here of the quote they gave me. 2029 - 750 = [1279] - 63.95 = [1215.05]

    So they told you that you could use the 750 off stacked with the 5%? The guy i talked to didn't know anything.

    Look on the bottom of the flyer, it says "Offers may be combined with other select offers or discounts."

    So if i do the kiosk 5% offer, there is no way to do the 3% fatwallet offer on top of that right? I can't ask them to go to fatwallet.com and let me log in and use their link, lol.

    Nope, fatwallet won't work. They have the computers locked down good so the only website you can go to is dell.com
