HOT! Smartdisk FotoChute 20GB Portable Storage Device $50 AR @ OD
SmartDisk® FotoChute™ FCD20 20GB USB 2.0 Portable Storage Device [officedepot.com] is on sale at OD for $139.99 - $70 MIR - $20 Coupon = $50
Cheapest price on pricegrabber.com was $157 shipped.
The coupon is actually for Staples ($20 off $100 purchase), but OD honors their competitor's coupons. The manager was reluctant to let me use the coupon since he said sites like FW detract business (he assumed thats where i had heard this), but he let me have it anyway Rebate expires 12-10-05 so hurry! I bought the last one in my local OD.

$70 Mail In Rebate [gfsinc.com]
Staples $20 off $100 Coupon

EDIT: I found an actual OD coupon listed in the coupons forum for $20 off $100 (wish I had seen this before): 28161246
EDIT #2: People mentioned having problems with the coupons, so here is a link to the official SD OD coupon thread

Here's a review of the Fotochute:
http://www.macworld.com/2005/08/r.../index.php

It seems that the internal battery is rather weak, but since an AC adapter is included, you can run the power off the wall (assuming you have access to a socket ). Still for $50, I can't complain.

In case the manager or sales person won't honor the Staples coupon, use OD's own $15 off $75 Code: 25861166
Coupon code does not work online. Product seems to be excluded from total that coupon is applied to.

To be more exact:

Quote from Error on page :
(CD06) The coupon 025861166, requires an order total of at least 75.00,. At this time the order total is .00. This may be the result of certain product exclusions. Please review the promotion and disclaimer for complete explanation on what the intent of the coupon 025861166, is. If necessary, add more products and try again. Thank you.

you gotta add YMMV in the title, and maybe put 70 AR or less w/ coupon since the coupon might not work for everyone

My local stores stopped taking Staples coupons. One of the managers told me that they've also stopped doing PM, not even their own online price. I bought this portable drive anyway. It should serve my 8MP digicam good. The store I went to only had one of these left in the lock area. Since I have the advantage membership, I can get 10% back. For $60, it's still a good deal. The lowest price found by PriceGrabber is around $150.

anyone notice that the fine print of the rebate states that the "product must be purchased between October 2, 2005 and October 8, 2005" ?

Edit: Should be valid, just found it through their rebate search on Officedepot.com.... Guess I'll jump on it... my Mom just got the Canon 20D, so those 1GB flash cards fill fast with the RAW format! Thanks SlickDeals, just saved me 70 bucks!

You are correct but it also states:

Quote :
To receive your $70.00 rebate you must
include the following:
1. This rebate coupon or a photocopy.
2. The original sales receipt or a photo
copy dated 12/04/05 - 12/10/05.

3. The original UPC label from the box.
So what is the correct thing?
So what is the correct date?
Is it to big af a chance that the rebate will work?
Anybody?

Manufacturer's website gone??

Anyone else not able to pull up www.smartdisk.com? I found plenty of references to the site via search engines, but none of them are working. Has this company folded, and thus support/firmware upgrades are non-existant? :idontknow

The coupon code 28161246 doesn't apply to this item. I have tried it.

YOU DON'T THINK THEY DON'T ALREADY KNOW. DUH. You think they or their employees don't shop online. The last time I was in an OfficeMax a year ago looking for an item. The manager said to me you saw it on slickdeals didn't you. I acted dumb and said what is slickdeals, my sister asked me to get it.

There are billions of people in this world who have never heard of a website like this. Yes, I think many of them don't already know. I'd say the vast majority have at least never visited them. There's a reason one of the first rules is to not tell anyone about SD.

Although I wonder if this was borrowed from FW, or if the OP is just slow.
