Can the gift cards be used today (I'm assuming they can email us the codes)?

And how long after you ordered did it take for the Status to be something other than 'process'? Basically, I'm wondering how long I have to wait until I can finish this order. It's been about 45 minutes from the initial confirmation orders.
Thanks.

Two emails within a few seconds of each other was my experience.

That seems about right. It wasn't instant that's for sure. If you're a first time customer (since the gift cards are through cashstar) expect to get an email that you have to call them to verify your credit card info. If you want to take the initiative maybe try calling before they email you.

Only your initial purchase requires a call. After that I was getting my gift card codes within minutes of placing my additional orders.

It took over an hour, then I got a call from credit card to approve, then shortly after, a call from Dell cards to verify, then they said they would contact the credit card, then I'd get the codes. Still waiting for those last steps.

Yes you can. You should consolidate the two $400 GC's into GC from the below link
http://buygconline.com/consolidation/index.aspx

Once you done use the new consolidated and your promo gift card. You may have to call or chat to complete the transaction.


Yes you can and its better you chat with them to complete the transaction
I tried that link to consolidate - says "The Gift Card number you entered is not eligible for consolidation.." because it is a promotional gift card? did it work for others? Help please, I want to order now.

After my initial order at 1:30 EST, I called at 2:00 EST and held for about 30 minutes. But the background music was nice...

The CS Rep allowed me to do a verification right then, "in order to expedite the process." And she did say that they are indeed backed up more than normal. She also said it should be another 3 to 5 minutes for an update to my order.

Also, an fyi, that I've only ordered a single gift card at this point in case the 30" monitor is oos by the time this is over.

I just read the Promo Terms and Details for the eGiftCard and one of the terms says this:

"Promotional eGift Card expires 90 days from date issued and cannot be consolidated with any other card."

So seems like you can not combine the $75 promo card with the Dell GC purchased. But just basing this off what the terms says.

How long does it take to get the promo card?

Can I buy this and use it to buy a $475 computer for $400?

And can I use it at Dell Outlet?

you can use it with a gift card but you can't consolidate it with any other card. I called and aksed to make sure before I bought. Still waiting though and it says after I ordered that it can take 10-20 days to get the promo card. Of course they did not tell me this when I called.

Don't think it will take that long. It took me about an hour to get both the e gift card and the promo card.

Let us know if anyone has had any success recently. As I said, I too have called up, but was then cancelled. There are 2 pending charges of $400 and 2 returned credits of $400 within minutes of each other on my account. I don't know what their deal is.

If I click through a cash back site when I go to redeem my GC, do you think I'll get the cash back? Smilie Does that usually go through?

Just want to update with you all that Dell allowed me to use the $75 promotional card to buy a $100 before. I was willing to pay another $25 for purchasing a $100 gift card which does not expire. However, Dell doesn't allow me to do that anymore. Now I need to spend the $75 promotion within 90 days. Crazy Dell!
