need QUICK Dell rebate help!! need tnight

[John Prophet]

I am trying to order a Dell system for some friends...trying to beat/match the price of this guy in town who is a dealer.

Anyway...here is the problem....there is a $50 rebate on the dimension 2350 that runs out tonight!

I dont really want that rebate anway, I want this other one that says $100 rebate with "qualifying Dell dimension2350 P4, Dimension 4550 or 8250 with a flat panel monitor for the dell business center with an order date between 12-13 to 1-2-03 or between 1-9 and 1-28 2003.

Ok, to me that says I can get this rebate cuz I am getting a dimension 2350 p4 with an E151fp flat panel...but when I print out the system summary sheets from dell it only shows the $50 rebate??? Whats the deal there??

It says also "sku 461-8560 must be on the packing slip"....how in the world am i supposed to know if its on there if I order tonight.

Im in a tight spot cuz I need to order this thing but It wont be worth my time if I cant get the $100 rebate.

I put the rebate as an attachment, can someone experienced with dell help me out here?? I tried calling Dell but they dont answer after 7, lol.

OR MAYBE i CALLED A WRONG NUMBER....MAYBE i CAN CALL TO ORDER IT ON THE PHONE AND THE WILL ANSWER??? DO THEY HAVE 24 HR ORDERING??


Help please, hehe, JP

Bump...nah, I see they dont take orders after 7..interesting.


Any help deciphering these rebates?

When you put your order in you be able to see the SKU# that you need, if you don't see it, don't put the order through and wait until you can call, it's good till 1/28/2003. I'm sure you can work it out, I've never had any trouble with Dell, I'm using an 8250 model now and love it.

dude, i wish you would have posted 20 minutes ago!

I went ahead and ordered in but didnt think/know about looking for sku...hopefully i can get the $100 rebate just on the basis that I have the rebate form printed out and to any normal human it looks as if it is saying a p4 dimension and an lcd bought together qualify.

That will be one little extra prayer tnite, hehe.
