    I today bought a HP Pavilion dv6500t Special Edition laptop with below config.I tried the student discount + code NB2749 valid till 8/25 but it didn't work .Then i just entered NB2749 and got $295 off + tax as my state has tax +free shipping.
    Also i bought a all in one printer same day but different order and got $50 off coupoun + $70 off on my all in one printer .I am attaching these 2 offer for you guys to use.But be sure to buy laptop/desktop and printer at same day ,seperate order.HP sales doesn't even know about them.Also ask the agent to give you one rebate at time of order as she did that for me when i was buying printer on phone as laptop i had to buy online to use coupoun code.With all these rebate my laptop costed me $1215.15 with tax +free shipping , HP officejet 5610 All-In-One for 36.99 incl tax and shipping and original price for printer is $99.99 + tax and free shipping .

    since the 20% off coupon states "this coupon expires 8/25/07" does this mean it expires at midnight on the 24th? or midnight the 25?

    I'm going to be buying a DV9500T soon and they have a $150 instant savings rebate that is automatically taken off the laptop. Is this $300 coupon on top of regular offers they have for the laptops? Also, can this coupon be used with the Student Discount as well?

    Also, where do you guys look for the coupons for the HP Laptops? I'm just trying to find the best price I can on the laptop because money is tight, but I want to make sure I get the best I can for my money because laptops aren't easily upgradeable.

    Also, since the coupon code is put in the same time as the credit card, if the coupon doesn't go through or something do they still charge your credit card, or does it error up and let you change it before it charges your credit card?

    Thanks in Advance!

    When configuring for the dv6500t and adding the coupon above I got the following: The coupon entered does not apply to the items in your shopping cart. Please review the coupon for products included in this offer.

    It needs to be the White Special Edition. The coupon doesn't apply for the regular, black dv6500t.

    Not web direct that I know of but, you can do so as a group purchaser member. Lawyers can get a 10% discount through a trade association. Call HP business and ask if a you can qualify somehow, I am sure lawyers are not alone Dell does similar stuff.

    You have to do this direct and offer some documentation.

    If you are a college student, you can probably ask for an up to 12% discount, at least in the US (which is what I plan on trying with the 8510p later in the week when I order).

    I ordered my dv6500t yesterday. Signed up for APP and got about 16% discount (with instant rebate). Probably would've been less had my specs been higher.

    When you use a online coupon it will negate all other rebates and the student discount, not counting special offers such as a free upgrade or money off on individual parts when customizing the laptop.

    I just noticed this:

    The 30% coupon doesn't give you money off of the warranty. I just went and configured another laptop with the warranty and without the warranty and the total discount for each with the 30% coupon was $599.40.

    So If you want to save even more money do this:
    If you can use the student discount order the warranty separate and you will get the extra percent off that the student discount offers.

    Hope this helps!

    Is the 30% off dead? I just had it working and was very soon to making a purchase and now when I enter the code NB3009 it reads "The coupon you entered is invalid."

    Is it just me or is anyone else having this issue? I'm trying to get a dv2500t.

    WOW. There were a number of people complaining about this. So, I just tried to add the 30% coupon by configuring a notebook exactly as I ordered and I get a message stating that it's invalid. I think HP stopped the coupon or something. Whew, glad I ordered mine on the 10th. :eek:

    That really sucks if you can't get use the coupon. Just to make sure, is your configuration over $999 excluding the instant rebate?

    Edit: HP might have screwed up over 2 coupons: 20% and 30%. The former's expiration date is 9/12 while latter is 9/22 - so 20% may have been swapped with 30%. I just checked and the 20% discount works fine, but 30% doesn't. Well, this is my assumption - I could be wrong... I hope you guys get your 30%!

    Edit2: After checking out this thread, I think there's a huge problem with HP and their 30% discount. http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=167599&page=4
    Check out post #36. Apparently, HP has run into some trouble... They better stay with 30%! I ordered on the day the coupon was out. :(

    Hey,

    Has anyone tried the NB3009 coupon that allows you to get 30% off a pavilion over $999? I remember trying it out the first time the coupon number came out but now when I go to try it it doesnt work for me?
    Anyone have a related experience?

    A new 30% off coupon is here! NB3025 I believe it is.

    Just used it to get a sweet machine.

    ALSO OF NOTE: There's a free upgrade to 240gb HD that's difficult to see. (for dv9500t at least)

    Not at the moment - and I highly doubt there will be cause all their coupons so far have been 'excluding HDX or for Pavs only" etc.

    Although, even if there was a coupon......why would you want that overpriced thing?? Starts at like 3k!!!! A 30% off coupon wouldn't even make it comparable in price to other high end laptops. I was about to order a laptop for $2100 (until I decided I didn't want to spend that much) - 17" wsxga+, 8700 gt 512 mb, 4gb ram, 160gb hd, blue tooth, agn card, etc
