    Sorry if this question has been asked and answered recently. I searched and couldn't find recent info.

    I ordered a T440s on Feb 9th. Current estimated ship date is Feb 28 and delivery March 7. When I configure the identical system on Lenovo's website today it is about $100 cheaper under the current sale. Can I get a rebate from Lenovo to match the current pricing? If so, how? If someone has a specific rep, or at least specific number to call that would be ideal. Of course if I can accomplish it via email or web chat all the better. Thanks!

    I believe you have 28 days from when the order has been placed. As far as I know, there is no specific number to call--you'll just have to call the general Lenovo sales number, and as usual, it'll probably be easier to explain by phone.

    They'll say they're processing it when you submit the request, but goodluck actually getting $$ from them.

    I actually did get money back for a price match on my T430... it wasn't exactly a fast process, but all I had to do was configure the unit again, make a quote, and send it to a CSR. I think I got close to $50 back on a $500 unit, so that was pretty good.

    Yep. Like all stores though, you'll have to make sure the new lower-priced laptop is configured exactly the same as the original one you ordered, otherwise they'll probably reject the price match.
