    So I've got my eye on an envy right now (either that or a samsung qx410).
    The HP student thing gives me 10% off which is pretty cool. And I thought I would slap on the 300 dollar discount and I'd be a happy camper. But no, I'm now told that
    The coupon entered does not apply to the items in your shopping cart. Please review the coupon for products included in this offer.

    So I guess student discounts don't stack with coupon codes? Can I get a confirmation or something about this just to make sure I'm not doing something wrong.

    Heres the coupon btw.

    You are exactly right. I tried to do the same thing (with a $400 off) and i was not able to complete the order until i took off the student discount.

    Hi,

    Want to be honest up front, I work for HP and saw your thread so I thought maybe I could shed some light on your questions.

    HP occasionally will distribute coupons like the ones you found. It is somewhat of a rarity especially with the envy computers. Love it or hate it in order for them to put coupons like that out they have to put some limits on them. As a result like you noticed the coupon was not combinable. I am glad you figured out how to at least get the $300 off.

    In the future if you are looking for coupons that ARE combinable with the Student Discount go to the HP Academy home page. It will be updated almost weekly with whatever are the best student deals on laptops desktops and printers that week.

    Hope that helps, also keep posting this stuff, we are reading it, and aside from just selling PCs at a total loss we are updating the program and considering all feedback.
