Ok, I just got off the phone with AMEX and this is what they said.
They'll price match anything, like how they will price match with Circuit City and online prices because Circuit City itself DOES NOT price match online. I also asked them if they would price match with stores that would only price match with specific stores, and I was told as long as the lower price you find isn't with the specific store listed, you should be fine.
So this looks like a good deal and it's been resurrected again, if you ask me.

I just spoke with a representative for the AmEx BVG program, and received clarification on their policy. Here's the link for the specifics on this program.

Based on my discussion with the AmEx BVG representative, and BVG policies, Huster is correct, and his procedure will work with no problems. Furthermore, RitzCamera's $100 maximum PM is not applicable with RegencyCamera, as they are not on their list of qualified Internet retailers. Therefore, AmEx's BVG will work, in concert with MSN eShop Holiday Rewards, and RitzCamera's low price guarantee.

This this is an awesome deal ($280 shipped, with all rebates and PM applied), and I'll be purchasing one in a few minutes! :)

It appears to me that the only potential flaw with this deal is the pricematching Ritz against CameraWorld.com. Unless you can get a verbal promise from a named salesperson/manager over the phone (while you are checking out), you may end up with a $350 instead of $280 camera, which isn't too bad a deal by itself. just my $0.02.

talked to a CS in Ritzcamera for PM, no good. he told me that the package (bundle) in cameraworld is different from their offer, he could not offer me the PM.

My KODAK 4800 is my future brother-in-law's toy now, I Bout the 995 finally for my fiancee.

Hi everyone, I did another way with MPSuperstone for this Camera this week, looks ok now, final price is

693.59 - 100 (MSN) - 100 (Rebate) - 175 (AMEX PM with RegencyCamera) = 318.59.

On Monday I did purchase, Tuesday I got email from MSN for the confirmation of $100, today I did the
price match with AMEX for the rest $175. The glad thing is RegencyCamera lower their price from
509.99 to 479.99 so make it a better deal from $350 to $320. From other store because they offer
$799 original price so the gap to RC is $320.00, that is no diff for PM with the $509.99 cause you only
can get $250 MAX. But MPSUPERSTORE have it for 664.99 now (I bout it for $654.99, one day before
I purchase that is 644.99, but unless they increate above to $739.99 you will have the same deal because
the PM from AMEX)

Now I strongly refer this deal cause I have done it right way.

i did the exact same thing as Huster, I think he, too, used 2-day shipping for that total amount. I don't see why Blue will not match online store... I have matched couple other things before, got a Radeon VIVO for 69.99 that way...

NO, I use group shipping not second day. It cost me for almost $40.00 to ship a 4.lbs package (group shipping)
which takes 7 to 10 days to arrive. Yesterday my coworker told me he got a ticket from Dallas to London(U.K)
for $80 now and the trip is around 8 hours only. Compare these two things, what a suprise for the difference
between shipping some thing or some body during holiday? Nice MPSUPERSTORE.

the pricematch with Cameraworld for ritz worked fine, i did it last week, you just call, talk to them for about 10 minutes, and it's done, i think i can find the log of the conversation with the CSR if anyone needs it for reference, just PM me if you need it, and they drop the price to $749 on your receipt immediately, and then after the AMEX pricematch, it goes down to $299 bc regency dropped their price, so deal got even HOTTER, then add in the Epson Printer deal, and youget a Nikon 995 AND photo printer for $349
