Has anyone on this thread received their SNDK rebate in a timely manner? I am still waiting for my rebate....months late.

Prophet, you are correct. There was an "instant savings" on Amazon.com for certain SanDisk products, but I am not sure if this was absorbed by SanDisk or Amazon or both. I pretty sure it is not a mail-in rebate like the ones in late Summer at Circuit City. SanDisk may have matched pricing with Viking on Amazon and taken a hit for it. I don't see how you could shave $25+ off the list price and not take a hit. The 32MB SanDisk CF card sells for $60 plus shipping on Amazon and costs about $80 to $90 at retail. If inventories are truly low at Amazon (one to two week delays) I would expect the instant rebate would be lifted. At $25 per card they (SNDK) couldn't keep the offer up for very long without wringing the margin totally out of the product. I also cannot imagine SanDisk selling SmartMedia for a loss. Ausdauer
