    I log in on my University site and go to the laptop i want and it factors in my 12% discount. But then when i try to use my 30% off coupon for 999+ it doesnt let me. I thought these things were supposed to stack?

    With EPP you might want to call in your order...go to the home account, give the ID of your school and see if they can stack them. That is the way some other user's had to do it.

    If you check the site, you might get the coupon codes there itself. Which are better than 30 % off

    For a 2000 $ machine 30 % would make it 600 $ less.

    But there are 750 $ off coupon available.

    If you see one of my post. I have just ordered one . which would cost me around 1000 $ which is a deadly combination with all the configuration which I have chosen.

    I used EPP online and it worked just fine. For some reason it was only giving me a 6% EPP discount until I cleared all my dell cookies, then it gave me a 12% discount stacked with a $750 coupon. When all was said and done, it was worth $900 in discounts. Just make sure that the coupon is specifically for EPP and not home or business..
