16MB Lexar CF for $8.99 with rebate

[cheapsk8]

This sounds like a good deal: 16MB Lexar USB enabled compact flash for $8.99 + $5.50 shipping, for a total of $14.49

If I could get two rebates, I'd be all over this deal. But, reading the blurry rebate form, it says one rebate per address. 16MB just won't cut it for me, but otherwise this seems like a nice deal.

Hell, maybe I'll get it and just use the thing as some extra cheap storage.

Read the rebate form carefully. I know that if you are buying different sizes of Lexar compact flash, it appears that you can get more than one rebate. I have the original cardstock rebate form that came in my 80MB compact flash package. It says "Limit one request per product per name, address or household..." A 64MB compact flash is a different product than a 16MB compact flash. And a 16MB compact flash is a different product than a 32MB compact flash. The rebate form also further implies that you can use the card to get more than one rebate (so long as you are buying different sizes) where it says "Mail this completed form along with a copy of your dated sales receipt and the original UPC code(s) from the package(s) to:" Notice the (s) after code and package. The form I have is for the 4x compact flash and is good for $20 on 16 and 32MB, and $40 on 48, 64, and 80MB. It is available online at the lexar web page. I picked up a 64 and an 80, and plan to send them both in using the same rebate card for a grand total of $80 in rebates. I paid $227 for both of the cards, so I will be getting a 64MB and an 80MB CF card for approx $147 after rebates. So if a 16MB is a useful size for you, don't assume that you can't use this rebate, just because you have purchased and rebated some other size of lexar compact flash.

Hmm.. thanks for the heads up. I couldn't read the rebate form all that well. Maybe it's time to start doin some staples pricematching and coupons and stuff to work that 64MB card down.

Nevermind that staples doesn't sell lexar, but whatever.
