What is EPP?

 

[Trader05]

i could of got the 12% but i didn't wanna pay for the 3 year warranty or Virus/Security Package....but the difference isn't too bad

 

[Iahova]

Employee Purchase Program

 

[Thorin78]

You don't have to really.

You could get the 3 yr plan w/o the security thing and it's $143 cheaper. But still qualifies you for the 12% discount.

I really don't need PC training.

 

[Davinci]

I did the math, and if you take the 3yrs plan in order to get the 12% discount, you still end up paying more. (I don't think DELL is THAT stupid). So 6% was fine enough for me.

 

[sky2002]

got one for $620(including tax and shipping).
Basic setting with addition of TruLife on the monitor.

Btw... 1 year of warranty is plenty.

Imagine your laptop after 2 year. Technology changes every 18 months. So.. not worthed to get longer warranty.

 

[mb]

Don't forget that this coupon is valid for EPP and FSS (faculty, students and staff)... so those who do not qualify under EPP may still qualify as FSS. I thought this might help some, because I certainly know I am not qualified for EPP, but I do qualify as FSS.

Of course, the deal is dead anyway...

 

[toneman]

I was able to get in on the 40% EPP offer even though Dell's online ordering system somehow mysteriously changed my 40% EPP discount into the current 34% offer; after spending lots of time on the phone talking to who knows how many departments, they're gonna credit me back 6% to my DPA after I receive my order...thus effectively restoring my original 40%--actually, I'll wind up getting back 7 more cents than before...LOL!! What makes this sweeter is that the laptop I will be getting has better upgrades than what I originally had specified (34% offer applies to specific configurations--meaning no barebones configs)...but at a lower price than what I would have paid for the same config under the previous/original 40% EPP offer!
