20 min left-Amex Plat benefit question
« on: August 31, 2020, 11:37:04 PM »
To combine with the $200 Business Plat credit:  Is it better to use the 10% off Dell (plus other Dell credits) now before it expires tonight or wait for Black Friday where the discount will most likely be more than the 10% that they are giving now?

If anyone has been tracking Dell Black Friday specials in the past (I haven't) maybe they would know a pattern up till now.

Ok, I mean if you're not buying anything on sale 10% isn't significant

At this point better wait. There is no way in hell the sale posts in time for the 10% as it goes by ship date.....

I was pressured to buy tonight before the 10% expired until I thought it out re Black Friday.

Thank you all for answering so quickly.  What I want I did not find on sale so I am going to wait for sale/BF prices.

Goes by charge date. Personal experience a couple of times.

Yes this has been mostly accurate for me, however out of the past 8 orders I think 7 didn’t ship within the few days, and ended up being charged on the ship date.

It depends if it ships right away or not, see above.
