I'm pretty sure you're looking at several business days before you'll have your account number. Although, I'm not sure if you could find a Discover Gift Card and then use that - might work.

It looks like they've pulled the $10 offer, but the rep mentioned it might come back.

$10 offer is gone. It's almost 6pm now. Don't think it'll come back... should I pull the trigger or not, should I pull the trigger or not...

FYI everyone, prices are still $69.99 and $89.99. I found this thread after finding the $69.99 price and doing a search (yeah, really )

hmmm ... dunno if it matters much, i'm crossing my fingers i wont have any issues, but all the bad packaging reviews seem to be targeted at the 1TB (not 1.5TB) drives ... i hope everyone gets their hard drives well packaged and ready to last, nobody wants to deal with any headaches
also, i think that i noticed the "Presented by American Express " tag on Amazon's BF pages a few days ago even when the discover card promo was on (and i've been hearing rumors that the $10 off might come back tomorrow?) .... we'll see if Amazon decides to bring the price back down on the 1.5 TB drive or not though as it's back up to $109.99 now

could you summarize or explain briefly the problem with head parks? the thread you linked is pretty technically detailed, and while i can follow along some (need to go back and look up a couple of things), since you were kind enough to post the link, i thought perhaps a quick summary might be nice too
the only times(2) and shame on me for that i bought drives from Amazon they bugged out after i loaded them up or DOA. paid for saturday delivery too. ended up going to the microcenter to buy a junk samsung instead to meet the timeline.
maybe things have gotten better? buy a nice Retail Kit you know they won't do a bulk breakdown
You can try the jumpers to limit it to SATA I speed I guess. I have never needed to do that.
I got my drive today and it came in a regular western digital box with the plastic holders. Not too fantastic but hopefully that does the job. I think people who get them with bad bubble wrap or however else probably are getting ones that were shipped in bulk to Amazon in those larger foam containers which is why they don't have the original packaging sometimes.
