Might it work to order without the code and add the code later?

That is also an option

I have ordered in the past and have forgot to enter the coupon code... They weren't able to edit the order and put in the code, but they were able to give me a $50 credit once I received the laptop ... So by doing it like this, you will still be able to get the $50 off and $100 twitter credit

Someone on the main site reported getting a confirmation of the credit. Did you also get a confirmation?

How bout this idea, buy a $600 dell gc with amex and then use gc and coupon to purchase laptop + camera. 

Would that solve the problem?

The dell gift cards are thru cashstar, so it might not be eligible either for the credit

Looks like a great deal at $544 after the $100 off!

NC, would it work with those $50 coupons as well?

It would be a great price for this config but the $50 coupon wont stack with the $100 coupon.

Still at $544 for an XPS is a great price

I am currently out of the $50 coupons. I am trying to get more

Is changing service to "1 Year Limited Hardware Warranty" a good idea since shipping is not included? Wouldn't it cost atleast $30 to ship it once?

I dont think its a big deal to down grade the warranty.

You anyways would be buying it on a Amex, so for the first 90 Days, and for the 2nd year you are covered. Shipping is in the $15 range (Fedex), and most laptops dont need warranty repair in their first year. If you are worried buy a 3 year warranty from Squaretrade for about $100
