B&H is offering a $20 rebate on SanDisk Ultra II 2GB cards which brings
the price down to $60 which I think is a sweetspot for a moderately fast
card such as the Ultra II. I'm about to place my order because the
rebate expires on Tuesday Aug. 15. Just waiting for B&H to open up on
Saturday night.
The rebate form that prints off for the 2GB card also shows a $15 rebate
on the 1GB Ultra II. That rebate, however, does not show on the 1GB
listing page. Similar deals are shown on a few other SanDisk cards. If
interested go to the 2GB listing and print the rebate form. Call B&H to
see if they just screwed up and didn't post the rebate notice on the
other types/sizes... or maybe they ran out of stock.
