Rebate form is confusing. Not sure if you can get all 7 and if they must be submitted seperately. Also The rebate request must be postmarked within fourteen (14) days(including weekends) from date of purchase to qualify.
All of the FAR cards can be ordered for $9.50 shipped total. That's 24 GB of SD cards for $9.50, which is a hot deal if you're in a state where eCost doesn't charge sales tax. Even with the sales tax I have to pay in TX, it still comes to a total of about $15 for 24 GB of SD cards, which is $0.62/GB, still a good deal.
You can get all of the cards on the same rebate form. The rebate terms say as much and have said so since September:
...one rebate per qualifying product per household per promotion.
So, you can get all of the cards with this one form. I've already been paid for the promo that covered the first half of September. Those checks arrived in about 6 weeks.

Can I save on shipping and mail them all in the same envelope? (yes I am that cheap)
From the rebate: "Make sure that there is only one rebate submission per envelope and it is sent to the appropriate Department Code."

Yes, I have done so on all of these OCZ SD card rebates so far and none have been rejected. I just make it a point to circle all of the items on the rebate that I've bought, and I tape the UPCs to the rebate form (which I do with all rebates now) so they can't pull the old "UPC missing" rejection trick.

Thanks! Saved me $2.10 (I also got a usb drive, as I needed one)

I only count 16GB of cards that are FAR. How do you figure 24?

Very much so, plus they are downright dishonest in general. Like them advertising an item on Google Shopping...and as you add the item to your cart you realize they make you buy their shitty "Platinum Premium" membership in order to buy the item. Or selling a Wii for $320...enough said.
I agree that eCost sux but I think this deal is a better risk then the RitzCamera or Buydig Sandisk deals.

Thanks OP, and yes the rebate form wording is confusing to me too. Anyone know if you can purchase more than one of the items on the rebate list and get both rebates honored? For example, can I buy one SD card (OCZSDHC6-4GB) and one flash drive (OCZUSBR2DC-8GB)?
Restrictions: Only one rebate per qualifying product per promotion and limit one rebate per household per promotion. Multiple purchases on a single product only qualify for one rebate per promotion. Not every reseller is a participant on our Special Rebate Program. Use caution when you download rebates from unofficial web-sites. Make sure that there is only one rebate submission per envelope and it is sent to the appropriate Department Code.
so you can get one rebate per household per promotion. which means you get to send in one form, and the it later mentions that one submission for each envelope.

According to jwbodnar in an earlier post the rebate is not a problem and all of them can be sent in one envelope. Hopefully jwbodnar is correct.

Hope the posts here are correct, send all in 1 envelope and get 1 check back for the full amount. $9.50 for all these SD cards and the flash drive is a great deal. Thanks OP, and others.

So, there's 3 GB of standard (1 GB + 2 GB) + 3 GB of convertible (1 GB + 2 GB) + 4 GB SDHC + 8 GB SDHC = 18 GB total. Not sure how I came to 24 GB. Adding in the $4 AR 8 GB Rally2 brings the total to 26 GB, so maybe that's what I was thinking.

Originally you had to be a Platinum Premium member to get that card. Guess they changed it. Thanks for the update.

christie1628 said: rebate is horrible...it took me 12 mos+ to collect a $12 rebate years ago. i believe this is an asian company, therefore, the rebate is in chinglish to confuse ppl WTH? People have said OCZ rebates are very good/fast, and there's nothing Chinglish in this rebate form, it's very well worded. Are you looking at a different rebate form or did you post in the wrong thread?
Also, after reading the rebate form again, I do believe you are to submit everything in ONE envelope, otherwise it would be multiple submissions based on the terms. I'll call the rebate center on Monday and verify.
