I will never ever never ever ever !!!!! us a lexar card again at any price !! I bought 2 pro cards had to return them both and out of the 2 new ones they sent me I had to send back one of those. Someone once gave me one and I tossed out the 3 lexar cards I had in the trash. I have had a 512mb SanDisk card for some 7 or 8 yrs and it is still working fine!!!! I would not use a lexar if you gave it to me for FREE and I know a lot of street shooters that feel the same way !!

this could be another reason for this rebate – Lexar announces full-HD memory cards:

If you got it from ebay at a super low price then it’s a cheap knock off.

Never buy memory card from ebay.

Never buy from Ritz. You better make sure your card was credited. Read the horror stores here, http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Ritz_Camera_7

The rebate says the card must be purchased by Jan.15th and the mail in rebate must be postmarked within 30 days of purchase date.

The bar code must be shipped with mail stamps Date before Jan 15 or the bar code itself must be Received by Lexar before Jan 15 ? (In the last case one should ship it with fast service to assure it would be delivered on time)

Sorry for the question.

Got my order in this morning, but boy the wait on hold was long!

On a related topic, I jumped on the Black Friday Ritz deal for 4GB cards, and just was informed today that my order was CANCELLED. I was informed only because I inquired. Very strange way to do business…

This applies also to 300X UDMA too. Download the rebate form and read the details because this applies to any purchase not just Adorama.

Basically they clear their inventory that way and rely that someone will not mail their rebates on time – remember that they still make money – it cost Lexar less than $80 to produce this card.

just curious: what does the store or manufacturer earn or get with this “free” CF offer ?

I have yet to see a “real” SD/CF Card on ebay.

I hate to be crass about it, but that exact thing is selling for $ 40-50 on eBay. and if you are lucky you’ll get free shipping for your $ 50 investment.

The rebate is only available to people with a US address. That leaves Gibraltar (and this frozen patch of Canada) out.

well.. Gibraltar is across the world… The Adorama store is located in New York City. How much does it normally cost to ship something from the U.S. to Gibraltar?

Correct – many thanks – just curious, what was the normal price on this item?

follow the link from the above post – it is still $80 = free. I think the link in the RSS feed did not get updated and still shows $89 = $9 after mail-in rebate.
