    I go to add $300 coupon and it says the coupon has been previously redeemed.

    I had the same issue and posted on this a few minutes ago. After 40 minutes, Dell finally figured out what the issue is. They capped it at x computers sold and reached that within the first two days of the 7 day promotion. That's complete bs, but only $74 better than the standard discount they're giving now anyways.

    Wtf though, why did it take their sales rep and manager 40 minutes to find out why that coupon wouldn't redeem?

    I sucked it up and ordered because I had to for school. The $74 would have been nice though.

    That $300 coupon seems to repeat each week. Can anyone verify if that is a constant deal or is it finally gone?

    Thanks for the tip azntfl, I may cancel the order. I feel bad for the girl that spend 40 minutes on the phone with me researching stuff, but that guild isn't worth the cost.

    After rampart abuse, most of the Dell coupons are capped at a few thousands uses now.

    I was finally going to order my 1720 tonite with that coupon! Now I have to wait until the next line of coupons is released, and who knows when that might be! Figures, after a month of waiting, the night I'm going to order, the coupons run out...
