free 1gb sd card

2gb sd card for $7

http://www.buy.com/prod/kingston_2gb_secure_digital_card_sd_/q/loc/273/202743332.html

i am SO pissed at this: this hp pavillion cost me over 1 gland (grand hehe) and here it is refurbished for $600. if you are looking for a laptop, this gets my highest recommendation for price/quality.

true...i've found two RELATIVELY good ways around it, though

1.) if you have your own domain, go make a bunch of random email accounts...instead of signing up for a gmail account, do the on-the-fly google checkout procedure (it asks for an email account, but you don't actually make a new gmail one)...this (so far) has worked 9 times out of 10...i don't know why it catches it so rarely, or what triggers it

2.) use variations on your name for your credit card - with my bank, only three things are required for online verification - the CC number, the phone number on the account, and the "verified by visa" password...as long as those three are correct, i can put any name on the shipping/billing and it goes through...i've done this 4 or 5 times, and it has yet to be cancelled

I can't figure out how to actually get that google checkout thing to work. You sign up for an account, hit the 10$ off button, and then it still shows the 14.95$ price.

do you make an account and then go to the buy.com site, so do you have to not make one until you hit the button or something, b/c i still can't get it to give me that price

^the answer to this would be yes, you have to create an account as you're buying it for the thing to work

not really...you can create a gmail account beforehand (i did one of mine like that this morning)...though making it on the fly is easier for me

to the extent of my experience, if you already have a gmail account and just put in your password when signing up for google checkout, the discount doesn't work.

I've had a shitload cancelled lately.


I'm gonna try for one of those microSD cards tommorow because I really need one so I can use the mp3 player on my phone.

I started using hotmail instead of gmail. It doesnt appear to be making a difference.

i picked up the 2gb one a few weeks back for $15 (came with usb adapter, miniSD adapter, and SD adapter) for that reason...honestly, i use my phone as my backup/solid-state player since i have a zune, but it sure is nice having it around when i forgot to bring along the big one

these 1gb ones are just bonuses

i think i'm going to try for a few more...let me know if you don't get one, because i may have one or two left over

Quote :

not true...i thought the same thing, but their cancellations seem random (well, the emails have to be unique)...the cards can be duplicated, because i HAVE been using the same card...variation in address, maybe (like using dr instead of rd)?

^^^I did.


I create shopsafe numbers with my credit card so I have an infinite number of cc numbers.
And I've been creating free email accounts.


Still getting that shit cancelled.


^^word


^I might just get a 2gig one from there and see if they'll give me a 10 dollar discount if I don't have any luck getting a free one.

If you have a bank of america credit card you can create them from your online banking.

It's really easy.

I ordered one of those microsd cards a couple hours ago and it hasn't been cancelled yet.


on slickdeals i think they said if it wasn't cancelled really soon after the order then you should be good


here's hoping!

and now...tell us how you got your four - different addresses, different cards, different phone numbers...did you make the gmail accounts prior, or sign up on the fly using non-google accounts...?

mine seem to do better if i give them a few hours between purchases...they seem to complain when i order one right after the other

i did wonder if clearing the cache would make a difference, or if there was an IP detection aspect of it...but that'd be unfair to people ordering something on someone else's computer
