Scam newsflash: If you’re thinking about buying a Sandisk memory card and taking advantage of the whopping rebates that are going on, (increased rebates for multiple cards, up to $300 rebate if you get three 16 gig CF cards for example) …THINK AGAIN!

Word on the street is that Sandisk is giving people the run-around when it comes time to deliver on their rebates. Numerous people have claimed that they’ve sent in multiple rebates over time and have never gotten any of them. OUCH. So unless you really like to hound people over the phone etc. and EARN your rebate, steer clear of Sandisk rebates for now.

BTW, the Sandisk rebate process is being handled by a company called Young America, allegedly, and if you google them you will see that they are in a $43 million audit for un-cashed rebate checks. Mostly Canon rebates, allegedly. Yowzer!!!

Of course I’ll blog again if the situation turns out to be mis-information or a false alarm, but I wouldn’t write this in the first place if I didn’t think it was a real issue!
