I got in on the Viking 256mb CF card instead. Here's my breakdown (I used my $30 off for shopping in apparel last month):


Item(s) Subtotal: $84.99
Shipping & Handling: $5.58
Super Saver Discount: -$5.58
Gold Box Discount: -$12.75
Promotional Certificates:-$30.00
-----
$42.24
$0.00
-----
$42.24
-MIR Rebate $20

TOTAL: $22.24

As long as I get this order from Amazon by 2-14, I can send in the rebate ($20MIR must be postmarked by 2-15).

I'm in. Sure hope it comes in time for the rebate (fingers crossed).

I'm sticking with this SimpleTech deal and waiting it out. Had good luck with fast supersaver shipping in the past.
Moreover, there's a thread over at Chubby Billfold referencing this deal that contains this interesting quote:

"I remember an item I once bought from Amazon had a rebate that required it to be postmarked soon after purchase too. I called Amazon and the rep said "not to worry, it wouldn't be a problem even if I got the item a little late... just mail it in." I'm not going to bother calling this time, but if the card comes late, I'll write on the rebate submission that "Amazon was late in shipping and the Customer Service Rep stated that this will not be a problem for the rebate." If you're concerned you can call Amazon, but I bet they will just tell you to send it in even if it arrives late and it won't be a problem. "

Another thread over there had this to say about this SimpleTech deal:

"I called the rebate company and they said they would honor 10 days after the SHIP date. She also said if it gets rejected to just call them and they will validate it for you, so you will get the rebate anyways if you follow it and just call them maybe 3-4 weeks after you mail it. "


YMMV, as well may mine.


Update: Mine just shipped. Think I'll be good to go!

Well I'm glad that I didn't wimp out and cancel my order because it arrived today!

Will be sending off my MIR tomorrow.

Man I have been looking for a 256mb card, but all my goldbox ever has is like pots and blenders and stuff (kinda ironic being that I only buy electronics from them...) Any how great deal for those that can get in on it!

The only thing I can think of is don't open your Goldbox until sometime during the day when you see someone post a good goldbox deal. This is the time to check. If you don't see anything posted here or FW, go ahead and open it later in the day.

Does anyone else agree with this?
