You will come across one problem and its the $75 gift card cannot really stack well. You might be able to use 2 in an offer and you can't stack 75*x amounts.
The maximum amount you can combine in GC's is 3k I think, so not possible to combine 400k worth of GC's.

going to buy about 400k dell server in work soon can i get all the 75$000 gc to use myself then ? if u help i will buy u free dell pad too?
How will you convince your employer that they need to buy all these $400 gift cards to make a $400,000 purchase? Will there be many individual billable items? 2 gift cards and a credit card is the maximum card usage per item typically.

You are limited to $3000 in one combined gift card value. (You could make 2 gift cards for $6000 total. and a credit card for the balance.)

Does this mean if I wanted something online at dell.ca worth around $500-600, I might as well purchase the $400 gift card to get a 75 promo gift card, use them for the online purchase and then pay the remaining balance with my credit card?

TIA (and repped).

Quote from yarnim :
total three forms of payment.

you can do GC + promo card + CC.

however, you cannot use two promo cards on the same transaction.

Nor can you purchase something just with the GC + promo card. they require you to pay something out of ur CC.

Well you could, but you need to speak to manager directly and its a lot of hassle.
and if you ever needed to cancel an order you placed with the GC, it takes a whoopin week to get it refunded back to your GC account.

And this all has to be done either by chat or phone.

that is correct. you can do that no problem. Chat is easy, or you can call them to place the order.

However, if you were to do this online by self check-out, it cannot be done.

You are right. I did this last year. However, the drawback is that you will not be able to do the Shop Discover 5% cash back.

so are you guys saying that the wiki doing option 2 is not going to work? i am planning to buy 2 laptops total $700. you guys saying that i can not buy 2 X $400 giftcards and consolidate them into 1 $800 card and pay with 2 X $75 bonus with the remaining balance on the $800 giftcard? Did they change the terms that you need a credit card to finish the transaction?

It seems that Dell is making consolidation a more involved task. We must now call in to consolidate and it will take 24 - 48 hours.

So if I purchase 3x$400 GCs for $1200 and get 3x$75 ePromos for $225, a combined value of $1425, can I use all of them to purchase a laptop for approximately $1450? with $25 left to pay off?!?!?!?!?!?

My understanding is you can combine those $400 normal gift cards, but you cannot combine the $75 gift cards with each other. Meaning in the end you'll be limited to:

$1200 normal GC
$75 ePromo GC #1
$75 ePromo GC #2
$75 ePromo GC #3

Each is a separate payment option. I believe chat/phone orders are limited to 3 separate payment methods.

I believe if your total can be paid in full by a regular gift card, plus 2 ePromo gift cards, then you can use those as your 3 payment methods. But if the total comes even a penny over the added up value of those 3 separate gift cards, then you are limited to just the regular gift card, one ePromo gift card, and then you have to put the remainder on a credit/debit card.

This of course becomes less of a slick deal since you can't get cashback (FW, probably some others) when buying gift cards (and ordering via chat/phone).
