You guys seem to have experience with this, so maybe you could help me out. I bought a $400 GC and got the $75 GC. Apparently you cannot consolidate a promo GC with another one. I am trying to make my purchase through shopDiscover (camelCase), so I cannot use the chat to place my order, or I will not get the 10% cash back.

Am I correct to assume that I will have to just save the $75 GC for a future purchase? I likely do not need anything else from dell.com, but it looks like they do sell other things besides PCs and accessories, so maybe I can find something useful.

No, you cannot get stack your $400 and $75 together in online order. The only way you can use the two gc ($400+$75) is going through online chat or phone. So, you definitely lost your shopdiscover 10% cash back in any case.

Thanks, I'm just gonna use the $75 on some headphones or anything else I can find on sale. Also used Dell Advantage, so I'll get around $35, which I guess I will have to use on a separate purchase since you can't consolidate promo cards. I still did it through shopDiscover, so I should still get my 10% cash back.

I was able to do this before, and did it again recently, but I believe Dell has caught on and they've cancelled every single one of my orders.
Me too and i was able to consolidated them also!!!..I made a lot of purchases of the tin gift cards with the egift promo cards but my last 2 orders were cancelled......I gave then a phone call and they told me that I was the one who canceled them Confusedgoing to give it another try and see what happens

I believe you can. I went to mail a gift card...... and it does have the option to purchase a gift card with a gift card. I wanted to get a few laptops for black friday. So saving 150 would be awesome. They offer free next day shipping. Decisions decisions!

just to let you know that shopdiscover only pay if the charge is on the DC card. You will not get cashback if you use giftcards. from above it looks like you are going to use the $400 giftcard for the purchase.

I'm not expecting cash back on the gift card part, but shouldn't I still get the 10% from the remaining balance of ~$300? Does the quarterly 5% not count on gift cards? Bought the $400 with Discover.

Repped.

Plan on buying 2 ultrasharps for BF. Will use the $75 code to scoop up a logitech wireless bundle.

Did something similar last year too.

"Offer eligible from November 6th to November 27th, 2012." Maybe call in?

Bought a laptop for someone, so I got 4 $75 gift cards.

Can't find any good deals on anything right now though. I hate using promotional cards to buy things at full price - feels so wrong.

Anyone got any recommendations?
