    When the 600 dollar coupon was posted on the main page, it made me decide to go pretty quickly for a dell computer since thats a lot of money to save. I'm pretty sure I want a 700m, which starts at like 900 dollars, but I customized it and added stuff so that its at about 1700 or so now...problem is that when I input the coupon, nothing changed and at the bottom it said a coupon had been entered but didn't meet certain criteria.

    I thought the only criteria was that it be an inspiron at over 1499, so what am I doing wrong?

    Did you go to the link from the coupons page?

    I just check and the coupon does not apply to the 700m.

    You'll have to wait til the next set of coupons!

    Dell does it weekly if i remember correctly. Maybe try the 40% off coupon though, it works till the 27th, so hurry.

    I just tried, and the coupon does work on the 700m. The code is 5L664N?97QNS34

    The coupons are only valid on Dell USA Home site, so if you are using Dell Canada or Dell's business site, then the coupon will be invalid.

    Usually the coupons are issued everyweek. They expire after certain amount of usage or by a certain date, which ever comes first. If they expire before the date, then generally Dell will issue a new coupon.
