    Does Lenovo price match their discounts. Say I ordered my x220 2 days ago and now they have 20% off today.

    I really would hate to cancel my order, I hear their cancellations take a long time.

    Suggestions?

    20% is a big step up from the mere 10% I received

    create a quote with a 100% identical configuration down to every detail, including accessories.   save it as a quote and email it to yourself.   call sales this week and have them adjust your current order with the new quote's price.

    you won't need to cancel and reorder.

    Thats a good tip about emailing yourself the quote Erik, I have just been printing out the my desired configuration with various codes etc. Next time I get a decent price for my configuration I will be sure to email it to myself too.
    It's a pain that they have to make us jump through hoops like that with the codes, but I guess that is the nature of the business these days. I am still waiting to see the cancellation confirmation so I can reorder, and also trying to keep up with the latest discount codes/promotions.

    You also have a 21 day price match for the USA customers but may have to bug the sales rep once or twice to get it through as I had to.

    My sales rep said some bull about he can't match ecoupons. A second rep said that he cannot price match due it being from another site? I thought they were all Lenovo, not my fault my sales rep used his site of choosing. Whats the point of a price match policy then?
