$50 Dell Promo ecard for $30 after software purchase ~ Dell

Quote from destination4DEB : Can someone buy physical Dell gift cards with the Dell eGift Card?

No.

who buys software anymore ?

Dell is always a rip off place, their credit card is 30% interest, I never bother touching it even though I have it, horrible

I was just looking to buy something on Dell. I have an expiring $28 Dell gift card. So I basically ended up paying $2 to get crappy software and $50 gift card. Now I can turn the $50 card into a xbox game.

Quote from Rockalittle : Agreed More difficult to remove than the viruses it's supposed to protect you from.

Nah, easy peasy to remove: run uninstaller for the product and/or the Consumer Product Removal tool (best program they put out!): http://download.mcafee.com/produc...s/MCPR.exe

Helps clean up any stray stuff file/registry-wise or to force uninstall a stubborn Mcafee program.

I use their card to get an extra 2-3% off and then pay the bill off when it comes. If your going to carry a balance and hopefully not a big one that rate will do you in...

That program digs into your pc like a tick. You shouldn't need another software just to remove your antivurus.

Repped for the creepy visual that gave me.

And Apple shouldn't charge what they do for their products lol. But if you have a stubborn install of Mcafee anything, you gotta use what you gotta use to fix the problem. I wished no one had to, but if it works...

Quote from ListenLoud : mcafee, one of the worst antivirus programs to date. you would have to pay me a lot more to put that on my PC though . Great deal, if you are looking to spend on Dell soon, or if the stacking thing still works.

More like worst "virus".


I am more than positive all the spywares programmers modeled their crap after McAfee.
Such horrendous worse than virus crap.

The program may suck. The point is getting a $50 gift card for $30. Right?

for $30 plus tax. And it can only be used in Dell online store within 90 days, which carries overpriced stuff in general.

I just installed McAfee on my laptop and it completely quit working. It would freeze up and shut down and then my laptop said it could not restart. I had to go on in safe mode and remove McAfee and now it works great again. I do not recommend this to anyone!

Quote from arribasn : Remember, promo card expires after 90 days, you can only use up to 2 gift cards per purchase and promo cards cannot be combined.

Quote from b13 : u cannot STACK them. youd have to make two seperate purchases

The limits on the use of promo cards are not a limit of the cards themselves but of the Dell ordering systems.

For online orders there is a limit of one gift card per order. It does not matter whether the gift card is a promo card or a paid card: only one gift card can be used per order. The gift card can but does not need to completely cover the cost of the purchase.

For phone orders there is a limit of three payments. The three payments can be promo card, promo card and promo card if the three promo cards completely cover the cost of the purchase. If the three promo cards do not completely cover the cost of the purchase, then because of the three payment limit, only two promo cards can be used on the purchase: promo card, promo card, and another form of payment.

From posts in other threads about Dell gift cards here on SD apparently there are some phone reps who do not know how to apply three gift cards to an order and there are other phone reps who believe that gift cards can not completely cover the cost of a purchase and require another form of payment.

While promo cards can not be CONSOLIDATED (for example turn two $50 promo cards into one $100 promo card (this can be done with paid gift cards)) they can be STACKED (use more than one on an order) on phone orders.

And finally, there is no need to tell the phone rep that the gift cards in question are promo gift cards.

If I buy two software packages for $60, will I get two gift cards? Or do I need to split the orders?

I have a Dell promo giftcard for $50 expiring on 8/12 and there is absoutely nothing reasonably priced to spend it on so this could be a way for me to extend it? (by buying the software with it)

Also - Is this the only software eligible for this offer?
