    ordered mine 5/28, thru the EPP deal along with an accessory on the same order which shipped yesterday so they can't now use the bad cc# excuse to cancel my T60.....

    Didn't Goren say one of his friends who used the Meyer deal already got their laptop?

    My first order was canceled (see previous post)
    My second order was also canceled (today)

    Both times the reason was because of "a problem with your credit card"

    I *am* shipping to a non-billing address, but the address is listed in my credit card profile. I also placed an order from Lenovo last fall with the same credit card shipped to the same non-billing address. I dunno what to make of this.

    actually that seems to be the reason they gave most people using the Meyers deal (assuming you are). My friend got cancelled for that same reasons, even though he was in the same situation as you.

    yes, but it wasn't a T61 that got ordered, that is probably the reason why it was different. It was a laptop they actually had in stock, thus it was shipped the next day.

    they are probably happy to move older stock. Unfortunately, due to the T61 delays (whether intentional or not), lenovo is going to have more time to dig around. Doesnt make sense that some people are getting the cc error cancellation, which others are not.

    Yes I ordered using the Meyer info. The first cancelled order was for the X60s and the second cancelled order was for the X61s. I didn't order a T61.

    Credit card (or check card) transactions can sometimes be canceled for reasons that are obscure to us.

    There's one time I was trying to order a book I saw on abebooks. I put the order in. Got canceled: card denied. It was with a check card so I checked that there's indeed money in the account. Tried again. Denied. Tried again, making sure all the digits are well entered. Denied. I contacted abebooks and they tell me that my card is probably flagged as valid only within the US. Since I was buying from a bookseller based in the US, I asked why that would have anything to do with anything. They said that yes, the bookseller is in the US but abebooks, which is located in Canada (I did not know that) is handling the transaction. (Abebooks is primarily a site that booksellers that are not "big names" can use to advertise their inventory of books to sell. It covers the world.) I had ordered from abebooks with that card without problem before so that came as a surprise but I hypothesized that there are probably booksellers that handle credit card transactions themselves and some that have abebooks handle it for them.

    I called my credit union and yes, they said that it is usable only in the US. So I asked them to turn off that "feature", ordered again and bingo! The order went through.

    I'm not suggesting that this is the same problem here but there can be reasons why a credit card transaction is canceled that are totally independent of whether the order was made with Meyer's information.

    Where do you get this "Meyer" info? How exactly do you purchase on their website using EPP? How much of a discount is it?

    It's 17 pages. I read the first page or two and someone mentioned typing in the meyer info so I jumped to the last page and read it. No I didn't read every page.

    What's your ship date? It's gonna really blow if if you have to wonder if your order is gonna cancel out over the next 2 months or so.

    i think if you ordred late may with meyers epp, and you dont see it by end of the month when others start getting theirs, then it aint happenin. so the wait wont be months, unless it is for everyone else who ordred T61s

    true, but i don't NEED a laptop right now, so if it comes, great, if it doesn't, i'll just get another one sometime down the road.
    i'll just be sure to order my lenovo 4 months before i need it :)

    Hmm... there's been a few reports that the Meyer orders were going to be canceled but I'm not sure that we got positive proof that cancellation because the Meyer name and serial were used is in fact happening.

    I used to have a serial and name of a guy that worked at IBM. He still works there but since I had decided to go with an Apple, I think I tossed his info. I still work with his wife but unfortunately we don't talk anymore and now I want a ThinkPad, go figure. Anyone wanna send me the info so maybe I can get a good deal on a ThinkPad?

    If not, I will just see if Mrs. Martin will give me her husbands serial number (but I seriously doubt it.)

    Are you talking about the Meyer info or a different #? If it's a different #, maybe you should send me an e-mail with that info ;)
