McAfee AntiVirus Plus 3-User for PC, $50 Dell GC for $30 FS

Quote from Zerox : After 5, the discount is all whacked. Gift cards can be combined, can't they?

Promo cards cannot, regular ones can be combined into a single larger card.

Hmm i have a regular gift card from dell. might as well use it. Hopefully something good comes up in 90 days.

Btw can we place multiple orders with the same payment method? I know it has been asked before, but I cannot find a clear answer. Thanks!

Wait, so say you had a promo eGift Card with $30 on it.

Is there ANY downside to purchasing this?

Quote from Zanthexter : Dell has a limit of 3 methods of payment on a phone order, 2 on a web order. So, credit card + eGift card + eGift card = 3 methods of payment PROMO (not regular) eGift cards expire after 90 days [dell.com] Promo eGift cards are not supposed to be combine-able on the same order. [dell.com]

Where do you see this? After a quick scan, I don't see this information....

No. You'd be getting a free McAfee, additional $20 in the form of a promo egift card, and you wouldn't have to worry about the 90 days on that $30 egift card anymore. You'd have a new 90 days from when the $50 promo egift card is issued.

unfortunately, I dont have anything to buy from Dell.

how many you can buy? i have $100 promo egift card. i guess better buy 3 and MM & increase my expire date of the card.

so you cant buy a plastic gc with a promo gc, right?

Quote from NoBantheSnowman : so you cant buy a plastic gc with a promo gc, right?

NO. You cannot buy plastic gc with egc.

Quote from NoBantheSnowman : so you cant buy a plastic gc with a promo gc, right?

Nope. However, for those of us with current promotional gift cards, there's 0 reason not to buy this since it's a MM + extention (and free anti-virus to boot).

Ok, went through the process, and there IS a disadvantage (though a small one).

You have to wait 10-20 business days before you get the eGC. And as I've been having issues with their issuing an eGC on a previous order, that's not a given time frame either (as they tell you to wait the full 20 business days before calling in again).....

OTOH, I added my Dell advantage code which gave another 5% promo GC, went through a CB website for 2% off, so my $32.58 on another promo GC should turn into

$50 Dell eGC
$0.65 CB
$1.63 Dell eGC
w/ 2 Day Shipping

Heh, I might be accumulating a lot of these dinky eGC :/.....

What kind of things can you buy from Dell for $50 these days?

Then go back and read a little more thoroughly. Each link has the info I referenced.

Sorry that I don't have enough free time to go back, scroll down, copy the appropriate section, paste it in here with quotes around it and the same link pointing back to the original source.

It's always annoying when someone asks others to google or find something in a source rather than waste their own precious time doing so.

Dude, I've looked at the page before, and I've seen language explicitly saying that it's ok to stack multiple promo GC.

Perhaps I should have stated this before since I had to look at the fine print to think if I was ok having a lot of money stored up in Dell promo GC. I was just wondering if you knew off the top of your head since I've seen language that explicitly contradicts what you're saying.

I understand about being annoyed with people who don't do the heavy lifting and perhaps I should have stated something about the fact that I HAVE looked closely before and found something contradictory. But sometimes, it's just easier to ask what specifically a person is talking about.

So, my more in-depth question is. Here's is the information that I found on the link you posted (which I've seen before):

Quote : Using Multiple Cards 10. Dell will only accept a limited number of Promo Cards per purchase. Funds from Promo Cards cannot be merged with funds from any other Promo Cards or other Dell gift cards of any kind.

Where does it state that you cannot use multiple Promo Cards on the same purchase?

I'd appreciate if you could back up that specific statement.

Thank you.
