I used a similar deal last year but DELL delayed one of my item for almost two months which expired my credit.

Statement credit may be reversed if qualifying purchase is returned/cancelled. If American Express does not receive information that identifies your transaction as qualifying for the offer, you will not receive the statement credit. For example, your transaction will not qualify if it is not made directly with the merchant. In addition, in most cases, you may not receive the statement credit if your transaction is made with an electronic wallet or through a third party or if the merchant uses a mobile or wireless card reader to process it. By adding an offer to a Card, you agree that American Express may send you communications about the offer. POID: K0V4:0001

"Dell branded products only".
Then use cashback site to buy laptop or other goods using the giftcard.
Double dipping should work.
I THINK it still works on this type of deal, but not 100% sure.
Also, people wanting pcs and monitors probably should have waited until a round july 4th and most likely there will be lower prices. I can't decide whether to wait myself because I need one more samsung ssd and they always go back up to $220 or $230 for 1tb and $450 for 2tb after a while.

when does the 15% coupon expire?

Just the way it is. Maybe inheriting the ThinkPad line helped them. I don't know.
SquareTrade had a survey of hardware reliability that supports my anecdotal experience.
I have many, many refurbs of the same age, and all of the Lenovos outlast the Dells. They also tend to not have as many weird issues. I think almost all of the Dells I've had, had some kind of power related issue or driver problem. You'd think they snuck in faulty drivers and driver updates for forced obsolescence.
I'm using a Dell XPS 13 myself. Its form factor and hardware is sexy and all, and more than gives even Macbooks a run for the money on paper, but I've sent it in for repairs 2 times, and it still has a permanent bios bug causing sleep mode to cause the laptop to no longer turn on and prevents bios upgrade which almost bricked the laptop. Apparently it requires (another) motherboard replacement to fix.
I just have to live with forcefully disabling sleep and using hibernate only.
tl;dr Dell XPS 13; it's still sexy, but got serious issues. Their top line laptop with high reviews has got serious problems, and their commodity gear doesn't last.
Out of all the Lenovos only 1 failure due to hdd failure, but a graveyard of Dell laptops. Granted I do have Dell desktops that have been running for something like 10 years.
If I were to get more gear or be asked for recommendation, I would not recommend Dell again. Their top line gear has serious bugs that should never have passed QC and shows serious negligence by their bios software maintainers and support. Their cheaper gear is just unreliable.
I've got refurb Lenovos in usage that have been smashed to the point that they no longer have cases, and they're still running reliably, whereas I have a graveyard of Dell laptops that failed after something like less than 1-2 years for various reasons.
As to Dell, they have issues as well, but again in my experience it is with their laptops, not their desktops. Their biggest problem imo is they use crappy Seagate drives. You pretty much are going to replace that with an SSD though so it is what it is.
AMEX offers typically state they do not allow gift cards including this one, but it has worked in the past. AMEX cares about the final valued charged and how it shows in your statement (eg so tax is included). If you ask them, they'll say final value is what's counted but generally tax and such shouldn't be technically.
..sorry seems I replied to the wrong post

I've got nothing bad to say about ST. I've had around 10 faulty printers fully refunded by SquareTrade.
And that logic doesn't make sense. Why would they favor Lenovo over Dell because they "don't want to honor your warranty"?
They may skew failure rates higher to make themselvse more important. But they'd just round up the numbers for everyone.
Every time I see this anti-China thing on here, it is asinine. If you want to be pro-America buy made at home products or whatever, fine. But don't pretend like your advice about American vs Chinese products makes any more sense than blind FUD. Try buying a Shark robot vacuum and for the same price as one of the Chinese knock-offs. You'll wonder why you ever purchased anything from Shark. There's plenty of other products that are actually just knock-offs of Chinese products repackaged with a higher price tag. Sometimes it's an improvement. A lot of the time it's just repackaged overpriced garbage.
There's some really ingenious doodads from those tiny manufacturers over in China. Take a look at AliExpress some time, or watch a few videos from people trying some of the stuff out. Yes of course there's lots of garbage there too. You get what you pay for, and you find the same amount of garbage on eBay from local sellers.
Provide some evidence or helpful information other than "CHINA BAD". Like "this China seller produces garbage that dies in less than a year", or "this Chinese company's support sucks because it has to go overseas". But this stuff I see on here borders on straight up bigotry.
TL;DR Anecdotal evidence is better than no evidence. Especially because I have a large quantity of it. Even withstanding I actually referenced real numbers from an outer party whose interests clearly don't conflict.

If someone here is going to buy something for $1200+ they should buy $600 in gcs to test it and then if it doesn't work they can still do the other $600 normally.
