Hacking Kingston 1gb Microsd card for only $6! or 16 for 2

[Foie]

Sorry, the rebate is over, so you cannot buy this for $6 anymore. However, you can get it for $12 at Newegg.com or $13 at Buy.com after google checkout. It's still a great deal, just not as great as the topic states. And there aren't any rebates in either of those deals, so that makes life a bit easier.

To get it at Newegg.com for $12 bucks, you have to use a coupon.

1GB Kingston MicroSD at Newegg

Coupon for Newegg:
EMC130MCROSD1GB



Kingston 1gb microsd at buy.com

This is just a great deal that I wanted to share with everybody

EDIT: Deleted old deal with the rebate, and added to $12 and $13 deals. (both without rebates)

I wonder where this is made in... Taiwan or Japan? Reviews don't specify (!

 

[Devante]

Mine was Taiwan.

Got a Jap here. Same site, same item, although it was done at the end of last year when the deal had free shipping and totaled $10 after everything. They ship out both Japan's and Taiwan's from what I've read from other people.

So if I bought 2 of them, it would initially cost me $25? (including google checkout)
And it's the same card as http://meritline.stores.yahoo.net/kingston...ro-sd-card.html, yes?

rebate says it's only good til the 27th which was yesterday.

 

[minger]

Mine come in tomorrow.

Man, Kingston's been cheap as all hell on buy.com lately.

 

[Foie]

Oops. I forgot that the rebate ended so soon. Well, I guess you would have had to have purchased it by yesterday for the rebate to work. Sorry, the deal is over

Well, you can still get it for $13 without the rebate. That deal is still pretty good.

Whats wrong with the ones made in Taiwan?

Newegg has a bunch of 1GB MicroSD cards for $12 plus about $5 in shipping, no rebates, including Kingston. I think I will order a couple soon...

they are slower than ones made in japan, and u have better chances to freeze in games.

I ordered one of these and it was made in Taiwan. I'm not sure if that is always the case though. I don't think NewEgg is sorting them by manufacturing country.

They *do* sort by country. There's two different listings. The SDC/1GB is Japanese, but the SDC/1GBKR is Taiwanese.

I definitely read a post by someone here that you randomly get either the Japanese or the Taiwanese versions regardless of the version you order on newegg.
Basically SDC/1GB and SDC/1GBKR can both be from Taiwan or Japan.

Can anyone else confirm this?

It looks like Newegg is a bit cheaper now -- Kingston cards for $12 including shipping.

Use code EMC130MCROSD1GB for $2 off. Seems to be a limit of one discount per customer.

Wow! Great deal. Thanks for the info. I wanted a second card to hold homebrew and media.
