A friend sent me this link today. So since my order was in 10 hours ago I'll release the info here now

Here is the link: http://www.gottadeal.com/ scroll down to the 2 GB Kingston SD card with FREE SHIPPING too!

Click on it and it brings you to Buy.com. The Card says $30 but after you add to cart and proceed a couple of clicks when you get to checkout don't log into Buy.com. Scroll to bottom and check out through Google and Google takes another $10 off a $30 or more order. I already had a Google account from my Gmail account so my password worked and I just had to put in my credit card info (If you are new to google you'll need to set up an account.)

Card also has a $5.00 rebate which you can print out from Buy.com or the first page you saw the card on in gottadeal.com.

So that's it. $15 for a 2 GB card. Can life get any better than this

I think the $5.00 rebate runs thru the 27th. I just checked in Buy.com on top right of page about the Google discount. I don't see a time period but they could pull it at anytime.

Also when I just put a card in my cart the Buy.com site gave a site is busy right now alert. So keep trying at different times. My order entered around 12pm today went right through, but at 10:20pm now it says site is busy.

Buy.com is currently not able to handle their traffic! (Maybe they need Akamai!)

Google Checkout: Very interesting, big brother Google must want to tie credit cards and shopping habits to the Internet search engine ad sales experience! (I'm not yet sure that I want to give them that much power!)

EDIT #1: Brialliant time to launch this. Right at the start/peak of the Christmas/holiday buying season. Right when people are conducting data-mineable transactions in full fore!

Great tip.

Didn't work quite the same for me, but clicking through the Google link got it shipped for $20. Great find! Thanks.

Great find!

Bought Mine... $22.49

Minus -$5.00 Rebate

$17.49 + 2GB SD Card = Good Deal

This is a sweet deal but be aware of the speed. From the Kingston site:

Speed Rating*** — Up to 5MB/sec. read rate
Up to 1.5MB/sec. write rate

This is from their standard line, so its not a very fast card. 33X read and about a 10X write based on their specs.

Thanks for the post. Nice Deal to get a 2GB card, shipped for around $20.
Thanks.

Speed for me is not that much of a concern. I figure I can store 6 to 8 full length DVD's for $15. Nice

Great deal! I'll purchase tonight! Hopefully the deals still good.

Appears to no longer be eligible...

I just pulled it up:
http://www.buy.com/prod/Kingston_2GB...202743332.html

$25 after rebate and then $10 off with Google checkout. It is out of stock right now but you can still order it. Watch the Google check out - it automatically charges the higher shipping - go with the slow boat if you want to save a few more dollars.

BTW - you can get a 1gb SanDisk card for $3 after a $27 rebate from Circut City.

Just got mine today.... =]

I got a 256mb Lexar media card I bought 5 years ago for about $60. I'll sell it to someone cheap, like $15. Thats 75% off the original price. Can't beat that.

I got the Kingston 2GB card with the Google checkout deal from Buy.com. I was just about to mail in the rebate form when I tried it in my 680.

Total failure. There was a popup warning that the card wasn't recognized. I put it in the USB card reader on my Mac, tried formatting it with DIsk Utility, and Disk Utility just hung. It normally just takes a few seconds to format even a large SD card.

Anyone seen this before and have any fixes? Or is the card just plain DOA?
