    Hmmm, I'm subscribed with about 10 emails to Dell SMB, and haven't gotten anything from them yet! And, I'm their best customer! :)

    Welcome to Dell. Save 20, 25, even 30% on select notebooks, desktops and printers with mystery coupons.

    Thats what it says.

    With the 25% off coupon, I can configure a Vostro 1400 with the same configuration I have ordered 6 weeks ago for a buck more. Wow.

    Heh, I can get my 1500 for $48 less. I'm still in the 30 day window so might call them and ask if they can adjust the price for me.

    It can be cheaper than the last good deal if you add more options to the config. With 2nd battery, 8400M, 120GB, WXGA+, the current discounted price of Vostro 1400 is $1 more than 6 weeks ago. If I add any more options, it will become cheaper than the deal 6 weeks ago.

    Mine too is 25%, and will actually save me money from the laptop I had to return.

    Anyone seen a 20% or 30% coupon? Seems they're all 25%.

    So what do I do to get one of these mystery coupons? I just wandered over to Dell (dekk) and changed my account preferences from "leave me alone" to "spam me into submission," but I don't know if that will take effect in time to get me a coupon.

    wankel not trying to offend you but if you could provide some screen shot providing it's indeed 30% off coupon. You could cross out the code or anyway not to display the code just the message and screen showing 30% coupon. All of your posts are trying to get people in contact about your coupon is little suspicious to me.

    Got one of these as well. A friend of mine is ordering a Vostro 1500. We tried to use the coupon code, and it actually made it cost more because it removed the previous discount to apply the coupon. Kind of lame. This would be a sweet deal if it was stackable.

    Dang. I thought that they would apply the 25 percent off ontop of the 382 dollars that was already off. I was planning on getting the Vostro 1500. So i thought my price would be 1100. But now its about 1500. How come they didnt say that using the 25% coupon would negate the 382 dollars already off?

    ^^ I usually partition myself, I noticed they started charging for it

    anyway, I am just begging, groveling for a 30% coupon.

    I can give you 2 (or maybe more) 25% coupons in return :D
    in fact if I get a 30 from someone here, I'll give a 25 to as many of you as I have codes

    That's almost exactly the build I just got (sans BT) from the Outlet for $996, free shipping.

    I think you can get close to $1100 after tax by massaging the normal sale. If you accept the T7250 option.

    Is there a way to figure out, without actually having a code to enter, how the prices would compare? I don't want to start begging for a coupon until I know it's actually going to help.

    Consider me down on my knees and begging, if anyone has an extra code that would work on a Vostro. Thank you!

    I also am going to beg for a code. I was gonna buy a Vostro 1400 but this coupon would be so great. Also how long does this go for and does anyone have a link to the site with an expired or already used coupon? I am willing to try and convince a Dell rep that I had a coupon that didn't work and see if he can match the deal.

    Anybody has a XPS discount/coupon/code I could use?
    I have been trying to find a coupon/code for the XPS for the longest time because I am student, and therefore trying to save money.

    PLEASE PM me back if you could help me out or if you know of any other coupon/discounts for the XPS. Thanks so much!!!!!!!
