I'm a bit frustrated that Dell didn't have any Dot Echo's in stock. That would have made for a nice gift.

I'm trying a 2nd order again this time, 5 smart bulbs for my dad. If this gets auto-cancelled, I will give up as well. Not worth the aggravation.
From doing some online research it seems the only way you can fix it is to talk to customer service at Dell. Not just anybody, as most people there don't seem to have any power to do anything.

Looks like this order was confirmed which is different than the last one I placed. I assume this one should go through.

I guess yours went through.

So decided actually call Dell customer service. They didn't seem to know anything, but did tell me just to call sales and place an order. And that went through fine.
I don't know what the issue is. Nor how to fix it.

Still waiting for my charge to post. This Dell thing is becoming a hassle. May just cancel the whole thing if they can't complete a simple smart bulb order.

Spent 99.71 all in on 2 USB-C cables and a fancy mouse. Pleased I drained benefit almost in total (29 cents isn't too shabby)!

Didn't go through. These people are an absolute joke.

Dell benefit is wasted.

Had about $ 150 in Dell Rewards from a desktop purchase so added it to the benefit to get a Bose QuietComfort 35 which was already on sale for $ 279

No complaints.

No complaints.
As noted prior, if one buys Dell products it is not an issue. The issue is for those of us who don't buy Dell products.
Are there so many complaints in the Saks thread?

Well, after Dell cancelled my smart bulb order, decided just to get a couple Belkin usb-c cables and paid for expedited shipping to try and get the order to get through quickly.

Not super excited about it but I guess 2 USB-C cables are better than nothing.

No issues getting the USB C cables or the mouse. All delivered without a hitch and reimbursed from Amex. Would I have spent $99 and change this way otherwise? No, but under circumstances was pleased.

I looked at Dell mouses/keyboards but the reviews on even their supposed best products aren't that flattering. I usually do logitech products.

3 order auto-cancelled today. Customer service is closed. Even the order placed by sales was cancelled.
Frustrating! I went through the customer verification process for my last order few months ago.

Algorithm: check type of card:
If amex card check if frequent customer
If not frequent customer cancel order.
No need to notify customer

Maybe. It's so weird. I had 2 orders cancelled without notification (logitech mouse and smart bulbs). I then ordered a couple Belkin USB-C cables + paid for expedited shipping which worked. Order posted to my card 12/30 and received the cables already. Just waiting for the AMEX credit now.
