    I found a coupon for $750 off $2000 or more. It stacks with the epp discount, but will replace the 22% deal of the week offer. It expires on May 25 or after 4k uses. See code below:

    RV2024?89K$3DD

    But it doesn't really matter right? because the 12% discount basically gets cancelled out since it forces a person to select their 2-4 year warranty. Unless you plan to go for that then it would be worth it. Is there any way to select 1 year warranty to keep the price down and use the 12% discount to its advantage.

    I don't have any stackable coupons, but getting the "silver" bundle is worth it in my opinion. Sure, it'll cost a tad more (like $20 or something), but it's worth it for 2-3 extra years of service.

    Also, be aware of the fact that the 2% - 12% Dell EPP discount stacks with EVERYTHING. Those are independent from all other deals to date.

    I'm wondering if anyone's recieved those 40% off coupons. Those come out about once every quarter for EPP folks on dell's mail list, but I'm wondering if those coupons get spat out just to former buyers of dell comps.

    Are the rebates that come with the silver and gold EPP packages instantly redeemable for cash? It says "Service and Support Rebate" so I'm afraid it's only for repairs or something.

    Edit: Yes, I think.

    What are the Dell EPP coupons? Are those the periodic ones like $300-off-$999 that are out now? I didn't think anything could be used with those.

    My son has student discount ability but we couldn't get cheap enough for me to afford by "just" using his student discount, and I didn't think anything could be used with those either.

    EPP coupons are coupons that can be used with the university education discount. Right now, they're essentially the same as the normal Dell coupons.

    Except that they're % off, instead of fixed $ off. Usually, they're great deals, (I once got $1000 off!), but you have to pay close attention to exactly how much money you save with the EPP coupons (occasionally, it pays to get the periodic $ coupons instead of EPP coupons).

    Has anyone tried to use the mail in rebates for the gold and silver packages with the $750 off coupons. I configured a system for 2000-750-12% with a $150 mail in rebate that shows up on the invoice, but I wonder if Dell would actually process it. Let me know if anyone has tried that.

    NOSintake, that's not necessarily true. To get my discount, I provided Dell with my email address and student ID number. They just need to confirm your student status, and the acceptance letter is one way of doing that.
