    lenovo coupon codes not working?

    i've tried both:

    * Use code USPNOTEBOOKS to save 15% off any $699.00+ Lenovo ThinkPad notebook. (valid 6/26/2009 12:00:00 AM - 7/6/2009 11:59:59 PM)
    * Use code USPW700JULY to save 25% off any $999.00+ Lenovo ThinkPad notebook. (valid 7/3/2009 12:00:00 AM - 7/31/2009 11:59:59 PM)

    Yet, neither work when I go to apply it at Shopping Cart Checkout:
    Coupon not valid for current shopping cart.

    Help? Trying to apply it to a T500. Anyone know if I can stack these coupons on top of the Student Discount?

    I think it should work. Make sure when you copy paste you dont leave a space as is common if you say found it frm a website

    Yea...I checked that too.

    Can someone try the coupon codes and verify that they indeed do work, specifically on a T500 with discrete graphics card.

    THANKS

    thats what I meant before.

    I think they only work on the NORMAL site.. not any special site like the visa discount or even student discount etc

    those discount sites need not always be the better offer sometimes lenovo offers 30% off etc and they are immediately way better deals than the normal discount sites

    might depend on the specific coupon. for example most you cannot stack a visa discount with a normal coupon

    Coupons do not work on the student discount site where the discount is only around 5 - 7%. You're usually better off clearing your cookies and going through the regular site and using a coupon code there. Coupon works for me.

    I just tried the coupons with a CTO T400 and neither of them worked. Are they for specific models only?

    However, perhaps the 25% coupon is for the W700 only since it has "W700" in the code.

    The 25% coupon is only for the W700.

    Make sure you're using Internet Explorer, not Firefox, to do your ordering.

    Sadly, Lenovo has the same issues they had a year ago with Firefox --you can do all the customization, but when you try to place the order, there can be errors.
