  • Almost Free 1GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive

    Posted by Frugal on December 15th, 2006

    It cost me just $3.88 for 1GB Flash Drive.

    Before mail-in rebate from Kingston, it’s $30 before tax. After mail-in rebate, I would only pay sales tax. This is with $20 Google Checkout bonus (for order >=$50). Since my previous rebate with Kingston has been approved, I assume that their mail-in rebate is pretty solid. So I will be just paying $3.88 for 1GB Flash Drive.

    Here is the link:

    Be careful with the mail-in rebate receipt that you need to provide. The receipt MUST be printed from Buy.com website. Here is the only way that you should follow in order to print the receipt (or else you won’t get your $30 rebate):

    1. After you use the Google Checkout, Google will send you an email. Ignore that email. Wait for a little while for Buy.com email notifying your order. It will be mailed from support, and the subject says Buy.com - Thanks for your Google Checkout order!.
    2. Click on the first link in the email. It should be https://secure.buy.com/corp/support/guestordersearch.asp?who=google.
    3. Fill in the all the info on that page. The order number is at the bottom of the same email from Buy.com. Then click on Find Order button.
    4. You will be directed to the page where it shows the order. Scroll to the right and bottom. Click on “View Receipt” button.
    5. Viola. Now you will get to the receipt page. Print that page. As far as I know, NOTHING else you provide will be recognized as a valid receipt. So it’s extremely important to get this sale receipt correct.

    And remember to take advantage of Google checkout at all kinds of merchants. You can buy Books, Music CD, electronics and get $10 off per order (>$30), and $20 off per order (>$50) only at a few sites. Here is the list of all the merchants that participate in Google Checkout.

    Happy Holiday Shopping!

      I don’t doubt that Kingston is reliable for honoring their rebates, but to me it just doesn’t seem worth all of the hassle. I’ve been screwed over a few times before when dealing with rebates, and the small amount saved (combined with the 6-8 week waiting period) doesn’t seem worth it. $30 savings might be worth it, though.

      I am loving all of these sites that are offering Google Checkout discounts, though.

      You can’t get something for nothing usually. At least, you need to spend a little time, right?
