The intriguing deal to me is the type IV 8GB, $200 rebate on 3, about $110 each, so 3 type IV 8GB cards would be about $130, not bad. BH photo has 8GB for $114. Cheapest I have seen them after rebate.

Spending the card only "removes the savings" if you spend it on something you wouldn't have otherwise bought. If you pay the electric bill with it, it's not like you lost the savings. You now don't have to pay the electric bill out of your checking account. Logical.

Just did it with 2 cards last night at Target-- had $1 something left on one, and $7 something on the other. No problem.Yes, most stores are able to do this, provided they're willing and have the know how.

I think I used it at a grocery store (safeway?) and just slid the card through the machine. It deducted the balance on the card automatically and I slid my credit card through to pay the remainder of the bill, and was a little surprised it worked smoothly.I can't think of any way for the machine to deduct the balance automatically - you or the clerk would have needed to specify an amount.

Sandisk 3- 32G CF cards for $270 OTD

Best deal I could find was on eBay. If you go through Bing.com you get 8% Cash Back. beach camera sells Sandisk 32 GB Extreme III for $169 free ship- roughly $155 with the 8% Cash Back.

Then you get the Sandisk rebates, buy one it's $40 off, buy two it's $120, buy 3 it's $200. So it's three for $270ish. These are the Extreme III, if you want to step up to the IV it's about the same price for the 16G cards. Hope this helps.

It is 20mb/s card, not the 30mb/s card they usually have rebate for... Hmmm...

Here's similar deal but slightly cheaper at a little less than $5.00 a card at buydig.com

SanDisk 4 GB Extreme III CompactFlash Memory Card 30MB/S {SDCFX3-004G-A31}
3 x $25.00 = $75.00 - $60 Rebate = $15.00 for 3 Cards or $5.00 each card (After Rebate)

Add in the FW CB for 1.5% or whatever bing is at for CB...I think it's at 6% right now.
