Price matching works with EPP orders?

I just called Lenovo to request a price match for an existing order with a new quote I just created for the same configuration (chaper) and forgot to ask if the price match guarentee applies to EPP purchases the same as regular orders. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks.

EPP price discussions are not allowed as per the rules.
2. Do not post links, model availability, or pricing information from sites that restrict their purchasing to specific narrow groups (e.g. EPP [employee purchase] or specific Education sites). The members of these institutions can find their information through their employer or organization. Posting the links or information without prior permission from Lenovo/IBM is of questionable legality. Those that are entitled to these discounts have no problem finding the site directly from Lenovo/IBM, their employee friend, or their school bookstore.

3. Don't ask how to get an EPP (Employee Purchase) or Educational Discount. If you are a member of one of these groups, ask them: they will know better. Questions about the Thinkpad are welcome. Questions about the the specific purchasing program itself should be directed toward your qualifying organization.

Oh, sorry... I didn't think general pricematch queries were banned, just discussions about specific EPP prices (which this is not).
