    This discount is for 19% off some Thinkpads with the 10% VISA Cardholder Program and the 10%/5% USPTHINK48HR code which is stackable. Started yesterday!

    Edit: Go here to check if the Thinkpad you want has 5% or 10% discount!
    The W520/T520/T420s are confirmed to have 10% discount!

    You can access the VISA Cardholder Program (you still need a Visa Card) at here. The USPTHINK48HR is a code you use before the checkout to recieve the additional "10%".

    Gotcha. I thought you were saying that you got 19% of the Visa Price then used the 10% stackable UPSTHINK48HR coupon for a grand total of ~35% or so off. Should have read more closely.

    If you look closely, the VISA Cardholder Program is 10%.
    Now you pay 90% and the USPTHINK48HR takes off 10% off 90% which is 9%! 10%+9% equals 19%!

    I tried it. Came out with the same price as when I bought my T420 using the Lenovo CPP portal and the last 10% coupon they had that actually worked on the contractor site, so it ends up being a fair deal.

    I usually look on dealigg.com for Lenovo coupons. They are organized better there than most sites.
