    Anyone know why I can't get the 25% coupons working for Inspiron notebooks? I follow the link from the XPS on the front page, click through the cart to check out and enter the coupon. It seems valid, but it doesn't apply to the order. HELP!!!

    Dell is blocking the coupon on the XPS but it should work for all other Inspiron

    It doesn't work on a loaded Inspiron 9100 either. This is bordering on false advertising... and really sucks. Maybe you should tell us exactly WHICH Inspiron's it works with?!?

    Sorry, but this is very frustrating, I might just get a PortableOne or VAIO now.

    The new $500 dell coupon is not working for ANY notebook. Damn, I almost got myself a 700m.

    I tried to post this last night but did not seem to go thru. I had a Dell XPS configured system in my cart with the coupon code to save $500 applied, ready to purchase, at 2:50pm. I decided to make the purchase from home. When I got home at 4pm, the code was invalid. I called and spoke with Dell and the code expired at 3pm. Now ain't that a kick in the butt?! I was sooo happy to get that plus the $250 mail-in rebate. Oh well, that'll teach me not to wait. :)
