    Give it a shot. I don't see why it wouldn't be valid if you bought your machine with a VISA credit card.

    hi buddy, it does not matter where you are, just make sure you can make phone call to US Lenovo, you can make international call thru Skype or your cell phone or land line.
    I made international call to lenovo ask for price match, and i got the price difference credited back few days ago.

    kyo-yuki, I think you should call them. At least in the US Lenovo doesn't reply to emails very well...

    satellite, I think you should call them before the 21 days is up. Why would you call them after?

    Yep, I just got a credit 5 minutes ago on the phone from cpp. Although they said it would take 2 days to approve and a week to actually get the credit. I'm so happy I chose to get the dvd burner on the t61 i received last week because now with the credit, its free. :)

    Cool, at least you have confirmation. It takes some time for the credit to appear sometimes.

    It's hard to let go of money and IMO this price match deal is a great benefit to the buyer.

    I have a price match credit in process too.

    Thank you Lenovo.
