Student Discount and Coupons

haha i the posted the 100th reply to this thread!

So just to let you know, i ended up buying the hp dv6000t.

 

can i use both Student Discount and Coupons to reduce the price ?

 

You can in some cases but do remember that if you use a coupon you will lose any instant rebates.

 

I would just buy from an authorized online dealer. You don't have to pay tax then (at most sites) and they're usually ~$100 cheaper to begin with for the Smart Buy models than direct from HP. Just bought a nc8430 from Newegg for $1612 total (would have been ~$1700 from HP direct after discounts).

 

u mean the "mail-in rebate" ? What about the instant savings ?
but the coupons seems to be much more than the rebate

 

You will receive the mail in rebates, its the instant savings that you will have to substitute. When you apply the coupon the system will automatically select the bigger discount. Say, if you apply a coupon worth $100 & there was an instant rebate worth $200, then the system will not apply the coupon. The coupon will only apply if its value was larger than the instant rebate.

 

So, I customize an HP dv2000t with the following price:

price: $1,745.99
instant savings: $100.00
main-in rebate: $50.00
price: $1,595.99

Logging into APP and using the same customizations gets me down to $1,491.23.

Now, if I use the $200 (off of a purchase of $999+ on an HP pavilion notebook) coupon (which expires on the 24th), that should turn my $100 instant savings into $200, resulting in an additional $100 off, thus bringing my total to $1,391.23, correct?

(I think this should be added to the original post here so that future buyers don't have to look through 11 pages of posts)

Should the coupon code not work for some reason (and I know you enter it in before finalizing your purchase), is it gonna put my order through without the code or will it give me a chance to retry or cancel my order?

 

Yes, its a case of whichever discount is larger. AFAIK, you should be able to check the coupon without actually placing an order. Although they ask for the coupon code during checkout, there is another confirmation page befrore the order gets placed.

 

thank you!!!!

 

does anyone know if there will be any $200 off on hp customizable models anytime soon?

 

There is a discount code on a couple HP models in the Laptop Deals section of this website. I plan to use it if I decide on buying an HP...seriously considering the dv2000t.

 

I don't think you can combine the coupon with your APP discount. At least, I couldn't.

 

Is everyone sure you cant combine APP and the $200 off? I was planning on doing this myself

 

Coupon no longer works

 

It works through the 21st.

 

Coupon ended early

 

thanks for this info. Prices are great now

 

I haven't tried it yet, but I think it should work, because in the APP faq, they do have a 'how to use coupons' section. Its great because with the current 15% off coupons plus the $150 instant savings and APP discount, I can save up to 30% on the TX1000.

 

Has anyone figured how to get a working combination to get EPP discount and the 15% coupon code? I've been skimming through guides and they say it's possible but I'll lose all instant rebates which I'm fine with since I'll be saving more overall.

 

opps
i just bought dv6226tx yesterday in 59,000 INR/-
will it be more cheap then it to me via discount?

 

This is only for USA HP right? i'm from Australia too bad can't use the discount thingy

 

I just finished my undergrad, graduated last month. Do you guys think I can sign up for the student discount? Does HP check with the schools?

 

how often do the coupons come along? I want to order my 6500t sometime this month, but figured i'd check how often they came along.

 

is it me or did app discount go down to 6%????

 

The discount has always been around 6% and varies a bit depending on the product/configuration selected.

 

Does anyone know how the government EPP discount compares to the business EPP discount? I priced a dv9500t out using both my company's EPP discount and a family member's educational discount (the APP), and it came to the exact same amount. Would the government discount be the same as well?

Also, how to people think the $150 "instant rebate," discounted upgrade to 2GB and free upgrade to lightscribe they're currently offering with the dv9500t compare to what they've offered in the past? Is it worth holding out for better "freebies"?

 

Thanks dude, you helped me save over $300 on a dv2500!

 

If one just finished college (month ago) is it still possible to use discounts?
What about K-12 students?

Thanks

 

Most likely, you cannot. HP keeps track of student information from my understanding, and works to verify each order.

 

Any UK codes?

 

Do any of these coupons work for residents of Canada?

 

AFAIK HP Canada dont do much direct sales. So, any coupons/sales would be offered through the retailers. You will have to check if they are offering any rebates/coupons. The coupons listed are for U.S only.

 

Hey guys my dad bought a dv6000t and I bought a dv8000z last year, because my last laptop a hp zd7000 broke. Do you guys think I can get 20% off the laptop if call hp? since the zd7000 broke a week after the warranty expired and I yelled at them.I'm also a high school student. Im looking to get a dv9500t.

 

20% off is unlikely. Atmost you could probably get free shipping or a free upgrade. But since you are a student you can register for student discount which is around 6% off the regular price.

 

I got 10% on my dv8000z? And I have the broken zd7000 on hand which is broken because hp made a major design error. Has anyone ever gotten %20?
Thanks Ivan

 

can i get student discounts on business laptops? it seems it wont let me get the tc4400 tablet but it works with the tx1000

 

APP works only with the Home(consumer) versions. There is no APP for business models.

 

dunno if this is right thread but, i was wondering do you guys think there will be good hp dv6500t coupons coming out soon and do you think they will be taking away the
# 75% off upgrade to 2GB memory from 1GB
# Free upgrade to 120GB hard drive from 80GB
# Free upgrade to LightScribe from Super multi drive
# 50% off Discrete Graphics
# $30 off TV tuner
# 50 free prints and a free mouse pad from Snapfish

when the coupons come out? (if they do)
I was wondering whether it will be good to buy the laptop now or wait for coupons to come out if they do
oo and when you use the student discount, will the $100 off instant add up too

Thx

 

Can I apply the 20% off coupon with APP? Does it apply after or before instant rebate? before or after tax?

 

20% coupon is invalid w/ APP (I tried). It is before tax, and doesn't apply to warranty or add-ons (ac adapters, etc.)

 

What is the 20% coupon?

 

20% OFF Coupon code!!: NB2749

Expires: August 18,2007

 

Lol, too bad the 20% doesn't combine with the instant savings.

O well, good enough for me

 

hey btnh47.. is this 20% off coupon usable for any laptop? for instance dv9500 customizable?

thanks!

Alex

 

yea, for any pavilion laptop till the 18th

or well atleast with the newer pavilions

 

nice!!! thanks for the tip btnh47!!!! just awesome savings!!!

Alex

 

20% Off Does not Work with EPP pricing I tried it for HP DV 6500T SE configuration.

 

weird... cant find the place to type this coupon on the site... maybe someone can show me the way. Thanks!

Alex

 

lol yea.. its one of the last steps where you enter your credit card number, just look more to the bottom and you should catch it.

 

oh man this is too bad the 20% off coupon has reached its limit!

guess ill wait for another coupon to come along... do they come often?
