COPY AND PASTE the following link http://www.lenovo.com/shop/deals/workingadvantage and shop. At shopping cart notice coupon USXBIGSAVINGS in the upper right corner and click activate the coupon (or just enter the code) for additional 5% off. Enjoy the savings.
Good until September 30, 2009.
Example: Basic config Thinkpad X301 @ $1,119.58 vs $1,889.00 without a discount.
I don't know about the X301 config, but I priced an X200S with Lenovo's CPP vs the Working Advantage link from the OP (with coupon) and the CPP price came out slightly ahead.
(sorry to threadcrap)

Keeps showing up invalid for me. I don't see anything 40% off. Meh, didn't need another one anyway.
Don't use the FW link - COPY and PASTE it and it works. But it looks like "everything" means only the ThinkPad line.

I'll change "everything" to ThinkPads, but it also works for accessories as well. I didn't even know Lenovo made anything other than Thinkpads.

jmdeng: Which CPP worked for you? I tried Lenovo.com/cpp familyandfriends with coupon USESAVET10 and the coupon didn't work for me for X301. If I can find a better price I'll have Lenovo price match it for me.

It appears that CPP 10% coupon is good for T series and workingadvantage 5% coupon is good for all Thinkpads.

Yes, it DOES WORK, but you have to follow Zapa's instructions to "COPY AND PASTE" the link. It will not work by just clicking the link: instead, copy and paste it.

what is working advantage? Family and Friends site is what you guys should be using.
I hear from my girl over there an X series coupon could be coming for us.
I didn't know there was a competition and apologize for posting this deal. While this appears the BEST deal for now for X series thinkpads (X301), I get the point of negative dings, and will refrain from posting in the future.

Hi zopa
No coupon necessary for the CPP pricing on the X200S that I priced out. I configured an elite X200S with Working Advantage and the coupon, and then compared it with CPP's pricing, and CPP won out. As I said, I didn't try it with the X301, so I can't say the same for that comparison, but just wanted to let anyone out there who wanted an X200S know that CPP would be the cheaper solution.
BTW, I'm always looking for the best deal, so thank you for at least trying! =)

You're right. I have checked base config on X200S and it's $4.99 less with CPP vs. workingadvantage plus coupon. Not so on X301. Take a look at this.
X200S base:
$849.15 CPP, no coupons $854.14 Workingdavantage + USXBIGSAVINGS
X301 base:
$1,605.65 CPP no coupons $1,119.58 Workingdavantage + USXBIGSAVINGS
So, while this deal maybe be narrower than I originally thought, it appears to be still a great deal for some models. As always YMMV, so I would check both deals against a specific model you're after.
I still do not understand why I'm getting -1 dings thought, but that's beside the point.
I ordered one x301 in Lenovo.com, then I found this topic, which is much cheaper than mine.
I tried to ask for a pricematch from Lenovo through quote no generated from url you guys mentioned.
Unfortunately, the salesman told me my quote should be completely the same as mine order.
The operation system in my quote is Windows 7 (I cannot find vista choice any more), while MS WIN VISTA HOME BASIC in my order.
Anyone has a quote no for the following configuration of thinkpad x301? Please help me!
