    I'm considering canceling my T61 order and waiting for the sale, if things will be significantly less expensive. Any ideas when this might begin? When has it started traditionally?

    its hard to believe that there will be a t61 sale any time shortly after its release.

    you're allowed to adjust the price once, anytime between when you order it and until 21 days after it ships. I know you've ordered within the last few days so you probably won't be recieving it for at least another 2-3 weeks if not more. By then the july 4th sales should be up, and it's been hinted that the sale will be big. You should wait til then to adjust the price.

    Oh and you could create price quotes that are good for a month anytime a new sale comes out. You can use this quote to adjust the price anytime with that month.

    Another question: If I order, then price adjust, will my fatwallet discount be negated?

    Thanks.

    I think there is a good chance it will get cancelled. Here's why...
    _______________________________________________

    What if I need to change my order?
    Contacting the merchant to change an order may void your cash back! When making a change, merchants regularly "erase" the online order through FatWallet and enter a new one. Without the FatWallet connection on this new order, no cash back is earned.
    It is best to cancel your order (which you can do directly) and then re-enter FatWallet Stores, find the merchant you want to order from and click on the merchant's name. Then (re-)order.
    _______________________________________________

    I guess you can always tell the customer service rep to not cancel the original order and you should be OK.

    Maybe somebody with first hand experience that knows for sure can chime in.

    The "big" memorial day sale started right after the release of the T61 14.1"
