Dell seems to be either running a promotion or have a pricing error. Anyways the 5100, 5150, 600m, 300m, 8600 and 9100s can be upgraded from 1yr mail in service to 4 year at home service for $140 (reg 300+). I've already upgraded my service plan. Hope this helps someone.

Started playing around with it; seems like its less than $100 to extend from 1 year at-home to 4-years at home. Pretty darn cool!

Yup 3 weeks ago too, they sent me a snail mail asking to upgrade to 3yrs at home for $200. This was a way better deal. Glad this is helping other people.

how long do you think this "deal" will last... i'm bout to order an 8600 tonight and i figure i'd save a lot of money if i just select 1 year mail in and then upgrade as soon as i can... i'd hate to do that and then this option be gone and i'd have to pay a lot more to go to atleasta 3 year... think its worth the risk? will i get my service tag right after i order? or will i have to wait till i receive the actual laptop...? thanks

Accidental

complete care with accidental damage with home 4 years $379
complete care with mail in and accidental damage 3 years $149
complete care with accidental damage and home 3 years $249
accidental damage has to be done by 30 days of invoice or you can't get it

First off thank you for posting this!!

I urge you guys to take advantage of this 4 year at home warranty upgrade ASAP. It is a mistake by dell and it will not take them long to correct it.
Don't fill out the form and wait for a return call...make the call yourself and reference the 4 year deal for $140. I just upgraded from a 1 year mail in, now I am covered at home until 05/27/08.

I ordered a refurbished 8600 on Monday with a 3-year mail-in warranty, and the site wouldn't let me upgrade automatically. So I called the number to try to upgrade it for about $40, and they instead wanted to charge me an additional $140 because it was an error. Instead, I had them remove my current warranty (gave me a $169 credit even though it only cost me $100 to upgrade initially), and then went back through that link and signed up for the 4-year on-site warranty for $140. So, hopefully, I came out $29 + tax ahead on the deal Signing up for a big (3-year on-site) warranty, requesting credit for it, and then switching to the 4-year may be the best bet if you're ordering a system in next couple of days. Any longer than that, and they'll probably have the site corrected (they've already admitted it's a site error).

.... This will hopefully make it easier for me to get service if the hitachi panel they've sent on my laptop is a dud (I'll let them send the parts to me, THEN I'll send back my system instead of sending in my whole system for over a week with questionable results).

It really does work.......my rep did the whole downgrade from 2 to 1 year and upgrade from 1 to 4 years in one shot for me over the phone without blinking - upgrading from 2 years at home to 4 years at home for $9. I'm shocked! Thank you!
