    That's not much of a sale. I just recalulated
    the computer I bought on Friday (6/29) and
    it came out to $58 MORE!!!!

    Jull, thanks for keeping us updated.

    Let me ask you a question. The sxga+ coupon from last week- is it normal for that to reflect at checkout, and following confirmation page, but not in the confirmation email?

    Did you use it yourself, is this normal?

    I'm not Jull but I can relate my experience
    from ordering my laptop on Friday, but first
    I wanted to ask about sxga+ coupon you
    mentioned. Is that the USXIBMSPPTRIPLE
    for an additional 5% off in the Shareholders Purchase Plan? If not what was it? What
    was the code and what was the discount?

    I used the above coupon and I believe the
    coupon adjusted price was on my order
    confirmation.

    Chi-girl,
    he is talking about the "free" to FlexView (the type of screen) upgrade coupon.
    It's only available (the screen) on the 15" 4:3 T60 though.

    Yeah this one's only good on a T 60, no 61. But it's USPT60SXGA.


    This is so weird, because my fatwallet cash back even came in, and the cash back reflected the correct purchase amount (indicating the coupon worked). Don't know why it is how it is. I think I'm going to wait and see how they charge it before I call (which only messes things up further I've learned the hard way).

    Hi Guys, is a fatwallet.com coupon valid with a contractor purchase program or any other epp etc. too? because when i go to fatwallet.com and click on lenovo deals, it takes me to lenovo.com and it does not prompt us to enter epp or cpp code.

    Please help,
    Thanks,
    Kon

    Yes, fatwallet will take you to the "regular" lenovo website where you'll type epp, cpp or whatever into the search window.
    Then select the appropriate website from the search results and place the order as usual.
