    I'M presently looking for a laptop and after wanting an LG but changed my mind to get something a bit cheaper then the LG P1, I was thinking of getting myself a Dell Inspiron 6400. I know dell has special coupons on purchases over a certain amount of money but everytime I try to use the coupons it never works. I think its cause it cannot be added to other offers but I even tried it without taking the special offer (free 1GB ram upgrade, etc) and I still couldnt get the coupons to work. I don't want to buy the laptop and realise I could've had it for cheaper. Anyone has some tips or explanations for me?? Thx.

    The coupons should generally work with other offers, just not other coupons. It's possible the coupons have expired because a certain number of them have been used.

    It never works when I try the coupons. I know it shows me the message
    ''The following coupons have been entered but require additional information or do not meet eligibility requirements. Click "View Details" link(s) for more information.'' but when I do click on details, it doenst show me anything. The 275$ savings on my purchase is due to the free Ram upgrade and stuff like that. Anybody knows how to combine the coupons and these offers or how to get the cheapest deal off this Inspiron 6400?

    I was wondering, maybe the coupons dont work cause its Dell Canada and not Dell from the US. Is that possible?

    That might be the case. I had the same problem when trying to use the $750 coupon last week. Us Canadians are left out :(

    I'm pretty sure thats the reason. It says USA at the top f my coupon page, so I'm sure it's regional.

    What you do is save the config you want and call in and try to get it applied.
