Not sure if this should be in general discussion or computing.

I'd like to know if anyone has used Coles Price Protection on customer configurable laptops?

I know the policies say it has to be the same model and colour (which a laptop would be) but the internals might be different if I happened to opt for more RAM, backlit keyboard and PCIe SSD. Does that mean that you'd have to show a model with those specs having a price drop? or could you just configure it in the cart, with those specs to claim it?

I'm currently eyeing off a T470s and I'm thinking that instead of waiting for a deal that I'll use the protection and just claim the difference back when it happens.

Thanks!

  Looking for this as well. However, I think your best bet is to get the cheapest possible option (and manually upgrade). Since the ones with 128 GB storage are the ones that usually go super cheap at certain times of the year.

  Also I don't think they will accept coupon codes as proof of a price drop. It might have to be official price stated on the website. I could be wrong though.

    I was thinking about manually upgrading but for things like the PCIe SSD and keyboard, I didn't think that could be done after.

    And I didn't even think about the coupon codes, that throws a curve ball in.

  All you need is your invoice and a proof of current offer/price which can be a screenshot, a link as well. They should have some kind of unique identifier which is same for both like product code etc. I've successfully done this in past with Coles Mastercard which had this feature.

    If that's the case you could configure the laptop with top spec and then screenshot the low end spec one and claim the difference.
