    You definitely can't spend Dell coupons on warranties - I tried, but they would have none of it. That's a whole different department than normal sales.

    I just bought an m1330 and got the $200 gift card too. I'm going to buy another 20" Dell LCD and run 2 side by side from my 1330. :)

    I'd buy a GPS device. I want one so bad for my car. My university is in a much bigger city then I'm used to, and a GPS would be nice.

    Where's the thread for the Inspiron gift cards? :)

    We got two $150 GCs coming after buying out Inspiron 1520s back before Thanksgiving. I thought about getting a bluetooth setup for my desk but people seem not to like the bluetooth products.

    I'm getting a backpack and 2.1 system. Hopefully free shipping will be available. It's like $45 to ship those 2 products.

    Sell it on craigslist for $150 to $175. No fees involved. Use the money to buy what you want from other sites/stores for cheaper than what is available at Dell.

    I just ordered a 1530, but no mention of a $200 gift card (yep, I ordered direct). Think I'll be getting one as well?

    If you didn't, and have recieved the laptop within the last 4 weeks, claim that you dislike the laptop and want to send it back, and sometimes they'll offer you 100$ gift cards to keep it.

    dell JUST added the promotion yesterday. But so far only for US customers. But since i ordered earlier than the rest I will most likely be getting my laptop Monday or tuesday as it shipped today.

    They now charge to change color.

    I just configured an identical PC on US site & compared to the canadian Site, Its about $250 MORE. Weird considering our dollars are on par... Thats where your $200 gift card comes in.. really you dont save.
