    Hi there!

    This is maybe a stupid question, but i just wanted to ask you, who is able to use SPP discount. Is it for everyone? Is it restricted to some group of users(like education discount for students or EPP for employees)?

    And finally: does it affect somehow the order? (shipping dates, ...)

    Thank you for your responses.

    Students and educators only. But enforcement is usually relaxed. Don't complain if Lenovo cancels your order if they check and you don't qualify.

    And no, it does not affect any aspect of the order except for the price.

    oh i might wrote that shortcut in a wrong way. but i was talking about shareholder purchase program actually. I found some code in one earlier thread. I was able to get inside. I just wonder if it is possible to order notebook this way or lenovo will cancel the order.

    It's my understanding that the SPP code is the same for all shareholders. So that means there are probably thousands of shareholders that use the same code. I suppose the same rules apply that Lenovo could cancel the order if they know you are not a shareholder. But seriously doubt there is a realistic way for them to know if you are or aren't a shareholder.

    if you can place the order, great.
    if you get caught and they cancel the order, well, that's their right to do.
