I was at first suspicious too, but seeing that the buydig clearly mentions that the rebate is $160 on a quantity of 3 and that their model number has the same flaw as Adorama's I went ahead with the decision of ordering. By that time, the buydig was out of stock, so placed order with Adorama (currently the price at Adorama is same as it was at Buydig, so got a refund). If the purchase is only valid for $130 rebate, it will end up costing about $36 instead of $6 for 3. In the worst case, they could deny the rebate, but it shouldn't be hard to fight (I will certainly use the Adorama page telling us that it is valid for $40 rebate, implying $160 on 3).

I just called SANDISK rebate center and confirmed 100% that multiple orders for these items under the same promo is allowed as long as we mail in 3 per order per form submission in one envelope. The representative assured that there is no limit of 1 submission per household under this promotion.

I think I read that in the terms and conditions. I want to know if we can make a second submission. I did a 1-card 16GB CF a few months ago, and kinda fancy a second now.

yes you can get the exact same item again. no restrictions on that. I asked that too.

Well, considering I still haven't gotten my rebate from the first time through, I think I'll pass... thanks though. Rebate very tempting. Rebate hassle, priceless. I'm gonna stay on the fence a little longer. Thanks, OP.

Danzilla said:$5 IDE-CF adapter for a 16GB SSD on the cheap
This is exactly why I ordered these CFs, though I am ordering only 8gb ones. Which adapter do you have in mind for $5?

Look at Sandisk's web address:
http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(1856)-SDCFX3-8192-SanDisk_Extreme_III_CompactFlash_8GB.aspx

Then the product's code is SDCFX3-008G-A31.

I'm guessing they'll honor the rebate.

Now the 4GB SD is showing $49.

If you've done this rebate before, are these like any other rebates where as long as it was a different rebate time period, you can do another? I can't remember if last time I did this rebate if it was before the June 30th starting period for this one, or from a previous period. Any way I can look that up?

BTW, what are all you still using CF for/in? Just curious.

This isn't unusual for Adorama or BH Photo. They close the web and their stores for Jewish holidays. I respect their decision!

"Dear Valued Customer.

In for 3 x 16 GB, thanks original poster.

My Canon 40D and soon to be 50D. The CF format is not going to die anytime soon. I don't like small SD cards. Smaller is not better.

I respect their decision!There's nothing wrong with them closing for holiday but trashing mail rather than holding onto it for them to read and process after the holiday ends is pretty bad.
