    Can anyone verify that there are no Dell discounts today
    I tried to get an E1705 and I could not enter in a coupon code. Even teh normal discount it shows in the right side window pane disappeared when you go to checkout. I checked all the way to where I would have to submit my order and still could not find any coupon codes or any discount from their e-value codes

    Prolly just a "timely" glitch to get a bunch of black Friday orders without coupons.

    I'm sure internally, it has a nice name, like, "Six Sigma Order Price Improvement Maximization"

    This is why I jumped on the 30% coupon a few weeks back. I felt they were trying to drum up sales in the post-school pre-holiday period. If the 25% coupon comes back, that's not a bad one either.

    What does this mean, they usually "update"??? A) It's Friday. 2) The coupons say they are valid until 11/30. I was all set to purchase my new laptop, and now none of their discounts are working. I waited for an hour to chat with a customer service representative, and when I finally got one, there was no text box for me to chat. What a complete disaster.

    Lol, I am back at work and figured it was Thursday. Maybe they have just lapsed due to the holiday? Maybe not.

    Also, a lot of those coupons sometimes say "Limited to the first 2000" so maybe given the holiday, most people thought those WERE the limited deals and actually ordered past the 2000 available coupons. Ususally that's plenty, but maybe they got used up. If so, call in to have a rep. enter it.

    I could understand the coupons but the E-value stuff they always give away is not even there you have to pay full price for everything

    chatted with their sales support...its a "technical difficulty", however, EPP seems to be getting discounts fine.

    They said that they will have a rep call me, and I can get discounted pricing that way.

    So anyone with valid discounts, just call in, may take a while, but they are honoring. Very convienent timing though.

    I was waiting for today to order, thinking that Dell might have a little extra incentive or something. I didn't anticipate their decision to stay on the cutting-edge with a incredible tactic of raising their prices while everyone else offers insane discounts.

    Well Dell has finally got the coupon part of thier website fixed, but I noticec the coupons are not stacking like they were previously
    When Dell had the 25% off it stacked with the normal % off they had, now you just get one. Is this normal

    I would wait until "cyber monday" (11/27) to see if Dell puts out any good coupons.

    Generally, they are not stackable. The coupons published on our site can not be combined with the discounts offered on Dell's site. You can either take one or the other, but not both.
