Re: Dell 2001FP sub $400 with DPA
Whatever, I don't get worked up easily. It's a pretty big deal for me to have to pay $400 extra needlessly because I wasn't aware of a technicality. I haven't made a purchase over $120 in 2 years.
Nice to know it is not Dell's fault, but I called their "support" phone number and their complete incompetence incensed me. They had a chance to explain the problem to me and instead they repeated over and over that "the coupon has no value."

Re: Dell 2001FP sub $400 with DPA
If you get worked up easily, you wanna try buying hardware in the UK, reading of how people in the US can get a 2001FP for ~$400 - current price for a 2001FP inc tax in a whopping $739 at the current exchange rate. This is supposedly a special offer - last week they were <sarcasm>ONLY $801 / £469 GBP</scarcasm> = What a F***ing joke Dell.
Take a look at www.dell.co.uk to see what a bargain you are getting compared to us.

Re: Dell 2001FP sub $400 with DPA
Well, maybe not. It's really not that big of a deal. I always regret posting on 2+2 when I'm in a bad mood, because I look like a child throwing a tantrum. The coupons expiring were just the last straw in what has been a very bad week.

Re: Dell 2001FP sub $400 with DPA
I was pissed that the coupon was expired before I even got to this thread as well... I'm also pissed because dell rejected my DPA application for no apparent reason. I answered all of there stupid credit report questions correctly (but who knows if they think they were right), so i'm waiting for a letter from them now. Even though I have perfect credit I guess they don't like extending credit to professional poker players.
