Important Cautions that causes people to miss rebates
CAUTION:
Only use Chrome Browser on PC. On Chrome search for "Do Not Track" setting and make sure it is disabled.
Mobile: NO MOBILE APP but use Chrome in Desktop mode if on mobile.
Just confirmed on 2nd Oct 2025 taht using Chrome in Desktop Mode on mobile also works.
Don't use price tracker extensions/websites as they replace our affiliate with yours. In face don't use any extension at all, this is the reason I ask to simply use Guest mode on Chrome or on Mobile Chrome in Desktop mode as you don't have to worry about reinstalling all extensions.
Don't use ad/tracker blocking extension or services, which are Brave Browsers and many ad blocking proxy DNS and even adding exceptions in hosts file.
All steps must be done in one go/one browser session. If your payment fails, start again. If you clicked the link to add to cart but didn't order immediately, start again.
Don't lose your instagram account or UPI ID from which you contacted me for verification. I will contact you on the same account when it's time for payment six months later.
Don't put in a Rep ID. There have been missed rebates and I am unsure if this was the reason or not.
Didn't complete the transaction in one go. Clicked on link but ordered hours/days later.
Didn't restart the steps after payment failure.

Depreciated as this works with trust only→ How to get Rebate if you don't trust me ( ´･･)ﾉ(._.`)
Rebates have stopped working in the past without notice from Lenovo for cases with PAID Codes. So you will have to take my word for it if it doesn't show up. Remember, it's about trust.
The rebate is 3% of the cart value/final price.
This rebate is independent of any cashbacks/promotions offered by Lenovo and works on any payment methods except some discount codes which I have to confirm after a few orders.
Certified Refurbished Laptops are in doubt buy you are free to try by asking to add the links in Step 0 below.
Step 0: Prepare Lenovo Account and Laptop
On Desktop (Preferred)
Create account on Lenovo.com with your normal Internet Browser(Desktop Mode if on Mobile) if you don't already have one. Use email option for simplicity later.
Only use coupons from ni6hant.com/coupons → Coupons that are confirmed to work with rebate and Lenovo pre-applied default coupons.Visit any coupon websites now and check all coupons you want to with any coupons you want now. Also, visit my site for many free and paid coupons.
Coupons from other sites or sold by some random person on the internet will steal this affiliate amount(part of which goes to you). Note: You want to risk it, it's upto you. But if the affiliate doesn't show up, you won't get rebate.
A) Open Guest Profile in Google Chrome by clicking on your profile icon in the top right and login into Lenovo.com Account. Keep this browser open until payment is complete. OR,
B) Uninstall all add-ons temporarily including ad-blocker, price tracker, code extensions and all. They all exist to steal this affiliate money.
If on Mobile:
Uninstall Lenovo's App if you have it.
Open Chrome and disable any extensions if Chrome has added them(As of June 2025, extension/add-ons are not enabled for Chrome on Phones).
Open Lenovo.com and login with your created account.
Select the laptop you want and click on its lenovo-in.zlvv.net/.... link.
Step 2: Verify the Affiliate Link (Very Very Important)
After you click this link, you will be taken to another site with these things in the address bar. Ensure that these are the URL is similar to this and has Program=9634 & pid=4667204 . If it's not, DON'T PROCEED, just DM on Redditu/makingtechfriendly ?irgwc=1&Program=9634&pid=4667204&acid=ww%3Aaffiliate%3Alx67i4&cid=in%3Aaffiliate%3Afiv7n7
If the link doesn't show URL ending/Affiliate headers similar to this, do not proceed.
Back in June 2025 I accidentally created Lenovo Hong Kong Link instead of India and someone ordered without verifying this and I got no affiliate for it(Since it was the first time I paid rebate from my own pocket. I will not do this again). Therefore it is imoportant to verify this.
Important: Once your laptop is in the cart, immediately proceed to checkout without clicking on any other affiliate links, deal websites, or sponsored links (like MyUniDays, Grabon or any other).
Screenshot of all products in that order, SKU must be visible.
Rebate Timeline:
Rebate can take maximum up to 6 months from the date of purchase. After your rebate is confirmed, I will note down your reddit user ID and will contact you as soon as the money arrives. You don't need to ping me at all for it.
No rebate if you returned the laptop or cancelled your order. Those automatically get cancelled nonetheless.
No, the 7% code removes all other codes. If there might be one, I will check and give it to you when you buy it but expect that it removes all other codes.
Q.2. Do Credit Card Cashbacks by Lenovo and/or banks, work with 7% Codes?
Yes.
Q.2. Do SheerID student/teacher discounts with 7% Codes?
Yes.
Q.3. Do Lenovo Points Rewards work with 7% Codes?
Yes.
Extra Questions
Q.1. Why is this process so complex?
Many extensions(even if they aren't directly price trackin/saving extensions) and all the coupon websites you visit stay in business because they steal the affiliate amount (of which I give you part as rebate) as explained in the Honey Scam Video.
Also, many people started using Brave Browsers or ad-block extensions whose whole job is to stop such tracking which is the reason affiliate is paid in the first place.
Also, Lenovo doesn't give any affiliate/rebate if you use their mobile application at all.
Q.2. Why are you asking security of Rs.49.1 to send Instagram ID? Why can't you just check your message requests?
Earlier I used to accept all instagram messages for free and used to spend all my day answering people's messages. This caused my health to become terrible and I decided to put an end to it my putting >DMs behind a paywall.
The problem is people still message me and my requests are always full with people looking to get free answers from me.
Either I would have to stop all laptop researchs(because of which people know me in the first place) or go back to my terrible 107kg health where I was on bed-rest for months.
Since you can add a message if you send money via PhonePe to PhonePe, your adding Instagram ID there makes me directly go to your ID and send you a message myself.
This stops all spams and keep me very happy.
Q.3. Why didn't you give rebates before November 2024?
I never had Lenovo's own affilite. I only got it then and as soon as I got it I started giving it. Read more about it on the affiliate stats page
Q.4. I don't have Instagram account. Can I contact you on reddit, emails, telegram or any other place.
Well, there is a reason for that. I actually started with discord while talking to people in India back when the channel was new and most didn't have a discord account.
Everyone requested me to come to Instagram because that's the account I had. So I moved everythign to Instagram and I HATED IT.
But since this is where majority of people were. I stayed on Instagram.
I tried moving rebates just to reddit but again, people kept saying that they don't have an account on reddit and after my own experience of the reddit where every subreddit is defined by what the moderators liked, I can completely understand for them not creating a reddit account.
Apart from this, I like to keep my life organized and I am going to keep everyone on one place.
I know, Instagram is no better, it is also full of shit but you don't have to stay on Instagram forever. You just send me the rebate details and come there once to take the rebate.
I will add a header at to know when your amount might be due.
Q.5. Why SIX FUCKING MONTHS?
Lenovo makes sure no one refunds their laptops and keeps it before paying affiliate money. That is one reason. Other reason, only they know. I have no control over it.
I send moeny as soon as I get it because it bothers me to keep someone else's money.
Q.6. Why you need so much order information?
To make sure someone else doesn't get the money in place of you. I don't know who has placed the order so I have to determine if it's actually your order with all the details I ask.
I don't want to risk some fucking idiot trying to get YOUR rebate because he thinks he is too smart.
Q.7. How are you so dashing?
Rebates needs volunteers for testing/might be available
Preprations a. Get coupons that work with 3% rebate only from ni6hant.com/coupons.
Note: You can try other codes but no gurantees of rebate with those codes. If you have to use them, copy and paste the codes in notepad for now. b. Make sure your laptop is added on ni6hant.com/laptops. If it's not there, comment on this youtube post with laptop name configuratoin and other details that will help me find the laptopand it will be added and you will get a reply on the comment. c. Create a PhonePe account don't have one as this will be used to send instagram IDs and rebates.

Open Lenovo.com and login with the created account IN THIS GUEST PROFILE ONLY.

VVI: Send Rs.49.1 on PhonePe via PhonePe ONLY and add your instagram ID in payment message.
to UPI ID: mtfi@ybl
Note: This amount will be refunded after rebate verification which can take upto 48hrs.
Needs Volunteers for testing→ Various Sites (Mainly India)
The rebate is half of what I get from your order. Since this number varies quite a bit and these markets are new to me, this is what I am going ahead with for now.
This rebate is independent of any discount/promotions offered by Lenovo and works on any payment methods.
How to confirm you are genuine?
This is where the trust factor comes in. I have spent years putting up my online presence and if that's not enough for you, I don't know what else to tell you. In any case, it has no consequences to you, so why not?
Note: These markets are new to me and hence we will have to figure out together how to transfer funds internationally without much loss. If nothing else works, will send you gift-cards but my priority will be to do it via account transfer.
CAUTION:
Be extra careful with the steps. Nothing can be done later.
Don't use price tracker extensions/websites as they replace our affiliate with yours. No rebate will be provided for this.
Don't use ad/tracker blocking extension or services, which are Brave Browsers and many ad blocking proxy DNS and even adding exceptions in hosts file. These will prevent tracking and so no rebate will be provided at all. UNINSTALL THESE EXTENSIONS. THEY WORK EVEN WHEN DISABLED.
All of the steps covered must be done in one go/one browser session. If your payment fails, start again. If you clicked the link to add to cart but didn't order immediately, start again.
Step 1: Empty Cart and Add laptop
Empty your cart before proceeding.
Use the link at ni6hant.com/affiliate (Scroll to Lenovo Worldwide except India for the rebate section)
Step 2: Verify the Affiliate Link→ pid=4667204
After you click this link, you will be taken to another site with these things in the address bar. Ensure that these are the URL is ending in a heading similar to this. If it's not, DON'T PROCEED, just DM u/makingtechfriendly
Hong Kong: &Program=4036&pid=4667204&acid=ww%3Aaffiliate%3Alx67i4&cid=hk%3Aaffiliate%3Agha32b
If the link doesn’t show URL ending/Affiliate headers similar to this, do not proceed.
Note: Once you move into next step for adding laptop in cart, this parameter won't be visible anymore as it gets stored in the cookie.
Important: Once your laptop is in the cart, immediately proceed to checkout without clicking on any other affiliate links, deal websites, or sponsored links (like MyUniDays, Grabon or any other).
Step 3: Notify for Cashback
48 hours after placing the order, DM u/makingtechfriendly with:
Order amount.
Date and exact time of purchase.
Screenshot of all products in that order, SKU must be visible.
What discount code was used with the order.
Rebate Timeline:
Rebate can take maximum upto 5 months from the date of purchase. You will be notified accordingly on the same reddit user ID that you DMed from. For privacy reasons, it will never be another reddit ID or at any other place.
No rebate if you returned the laptop or cancelled your order.
Note: These markets are new to me and hence we will have to figure out together how to transfer funds internationally without much loss. If nothing else works, will send you gift-cards but my priority will be to do it via account transfer.
Due to the fact that there are no order numbers, no order time means if two people claim that they placed an order for the day there is no way I can determine whose it was that I am not bothering with this.
However, to a few people I trust and who trust me back to share their order history AND if there isn't anyone else claiming the same thing, I still give 50% of what I make back.
This requires a high degree of trust as I will be able to see your order history and you will be able to see the exact affiliate amount. THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE.
Flipkart Rebates: No
No affiliate available. I tried some third party ones but they kept the money for themselves or didn't show it. Even for laptops they paid like Rs.100 for a 1 lakh laptop and Flipkart has disabled it's affiliates for years now.
Cosmic Byte India:
Very little affiliate. Have not yet been able to meet the threshold for payment for more than 5 years now so ignore it.
Alibaba Rebates → Not now, maybe later
Keep using Alibaba.com affiliates as they share order ID and hence I can give the rebates back later.
I was actually making a post of 50% commission back (It varies from 4 to 6 to 10) when I saw that there is a $15 charge on a transfer of $16 or more so I am not even sure if I will be able to give it back. Unless people start using these links a lot more and I get paid I can't make this final statement. Also, since this is China we're dealing with, I have no idea if I will be paid or sent to jail.
Glad to see people ordering from our Alibaba affiliate links, Thanks a lot for them and just so you know, such updates are shared on the Affiliate Stats Page
