    it can be combined if the coupon says so, ie EPP. otherwise keep your money, and as far as i know right now there is no valid coupons for epp anyway, they expired 7/5

    The 35% off coupons on ebay (as long as they say EPP) are stackable with the 12% off discount that Dell is offering. Any coupons published on this site are not combinable/stackable with the coupons purchased from eBay, nor the 12% off.

    That depends on what laptop you are wanting. The latitudes, XPS, Precision series do not usually get coupons, so if you can find a 35% off EPP coupon that is valid, I would take it.

    The Inspirons get coupons every week and we publish them on this site. Right now, Dell has usually been running about 750 off or 30% off on the Inspirons, but this offer is not combinable with the 12% in EPP

    If you can find an 35% off EPP, then that would be your best bet. It is combinable with the 12% off, but it is hard to find. You have to search eBay for it and as other users pointed out, you have to make sure that it is active. This coupon will give you the biggest amount of savings.

    If you can't find a 35% off coupon, then the next thing to do would be to use 30% off when price is $1499+ or 750 off coupon when price is $1999+ that we have published on this site ( http://www.notebookreview.com/dellCoupon.asp). These coupons are not combinable with the EPP 12% off though. This is the safe and easy way to go. You won't get as big of savings as you would on the EPP, but these coupons are available until Thursday of this week. Dell has been running the same published coupons for the past month or more, so it is a safe bet that these coupons will be offered again on Thursday.

    The E1505 was already featured on the 10 days of deals, so you've missed that opportunity. The only deals that you can get right now are the EPP coupons or the published coupons.

    SO the 750 off 2000 cannot be applied with the EPP 12% discount

    No the 750 can not be combined with other discounts. We are talking about two different sections of Dell. The 750 off and the coupons that are published on this site are for the HOME section, where as the 12% and some of the eBay coupons are the EPP section.

    You can only use the coupons for that particular section.

    Not really. Basically it's either a 35% plus the 12% through EPP or the $750 off through Home. The best I've ever gotten through haggling with Dell is $100 off.

    oic. So the best would be the 35% off and then 12% EPP. I thought the 750 was a better deal, but since it cannot be used with the EPP, than 35% may be best.

    Just wait til they offer the 35% off on their website again. When the did that I combined it with my EPP discount got a four year warranty and got a $150 mail in rebate to go along with the two percentage reductions. I ended up saving well over a grand.
