    My T61 was odered on June 9th and shipped on June 23th. The total price was around $980, however, today with the new 10%off coupon, the price is about $90 cheaper. Just made a quote and emailed to a levono manager for price adjustment. He replied within an hour saying that it alread passed the 21-day price protection period.

    What is a 21-day price protection period?

    within 21 days since the shippment, they can adjust the price difference. If my laptop had another one week delay, that guy would credit me about $100.

    Be sure to create an identical quote. You need a customer number and order number for your quote.

    Yeah I'm having the same problem. Anyhoo, there is at least a quote number. Note that down, and tell the CSRs that #

    Yes. Keep the quote number. The automatic quote emails haven't been fixed, I see.

    I used a different account/customer number and the rep said it was fine and granted me the price protection. This was such a deal, 10% on top of EPP! The new coupon however isn't stackable with EPP... :(
