I just ordered the 256gb version with a simple folding stand case all for a total of just £174.72 using an exchange fee-free Santander card. To get this price:
1. Ensure you're ordering in US dollars. The 256Gb version today is $248.71
2. Add this case to the order for $9.61 (other cases/covers are cheaper, but many are not free delivery and some will not allow the code in Step 3 as they count as a conflicting discount - 'welcome deals' etc). The case will add a little bit of tax ($1 - $2 that's all). The case is important as it brings the total to over $250 for the code in Step 3.
3. Add the $40 off $250 code - AEBF40 - bringing the total price to $219.94 (£174.72)
On my order emails, the items are listed $210.20 for the tablet and $9.74 for the case. I went thru Quidco as well at 5.5% so if that comes off, that's approx another £9 too, but I'm not counting my chickens on that, as a code was used. Of course, I may get stung for customs tax, but even if that happens, it's still a great deal.
I originally wanted to get official Lenovo keyboard Case and stylus, but they're a bit pricey for this new model, so I'll wait until they come down in price as they no doubt will over the next few weeks.
Hope this works for others....
ps - just saw other people's issue with the grey version being out of stock..... here's hoping that stuff is resolved, or doesn't apply to the 256Gb at least
pps - Hmmm. The order on my AE account says "Order will ship in 9 days".... so we'll see! (edited)
