Free Kingston 1GB USB Flash Drive -EXPIRED
Link -use google checkout to get the $10 off. If you have already used google checkout to get the $10 off, make a new gmail account and you can get the discount again :wink: Make sure you choose budget shipping
-EDIT-There is also a free magazine subscription that you can get with it, but instead of getting that send in this rebate form and you can MAKE $10 on this deal!

Chris – this is a question about Google Checkout. I tried to use it at drugstore.com w/ a new Gmail account, and I did this 3 times (3 different accounts) which I knew were not used already, but the $10 never appeared and nothing was deducted. Do you know why this might be??
Thanks!

Very handy indeed. Thanks for the tip.

no clue kierra, Ive only done it multiple times with buy.com, not sure if multiple accounts work with other sites

Hmm… it also looks like there’s a magazine offer included with a purchase of $10 or more, which you can decline and recieve a rebate for. In theory, that means you stand to MAKE $10

Oh yeah, you cant do that one more than once like you can with the google checkout, but thats a good point.

Why do they need your credit card info? Doesnt seem very safe to me for them to have ur cc info if u owe them nothing
Reply
They need the CC info because they can’t know that you are only making this one transaction that will end up being free.
It’s like I have my info on file at Amazon and in theory I could place an order that would be a zero total (gift card, for example, and it was $25+ so you get free shipping).
These free transactions at Buy.com are cool! Is this something new, or has this been around a while?

been around a while, but its hard to fine stuff that is $10

I checked my statement online and it says that Google has charged me a dollar for each purchase. Hopefully this is just an approval charge and will be credited back. Otherwise it’s not free and that defeats the purpose, kind of, only $2. But, still it’s the principal.

yup, its just a charge to make sure that your CC is valid. It’ll go away

Mine’s a debit mastercard so I hope that is not a problem (re this $1 charge thing).

it charges you $1?? Did it say why?

did anyone get a shipping confirmation from buy.com yet? I usually got those quickly, but haven’t w/ the screwdriver set that charged me taxes. I hope my order didn’t get pulled…

Re-above posts, the $1 charge is just a placeholder if you will, it “falls off” after it’s processed. Lots of companies do this. Chris-all your tips are amazing, I really appreciate it, how cool is that to have a 10 spot in my pocket? Thanks so much!

Yes, that $1 charge will go away, it did for me with the screwdriver set! I actually tried to get this USB drive for free then instead of the screwdriver set but it was 9.95, NOT over $10. But now it is eligible for the $10 off new google check out people! YAY!! buy.com delivers FAST too!
my question is, if you send in your order and it shows up as free, will they give you the $10 rebate still? b/c technically we did not spend $10..

Sounds like a lot of work for a free USB Flash Drive that I have yet to see. :ugh:

How did you guys get the Google Checkout $10 off? It says on the Google website that that promotion has ended. Here’s the link – http://checkout.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=67465&topic=
It mentions some sites still show it.
When I tried it through the Google Checkout Buy.com didn’t take the $10 off.
Reply
You just have to register a new google checkout account and when you get to the price screen where you choose shipping it will show the $10 off
Reply
This was real easy, mine will be in 7-9 days.
Reply
WTF… they are trying to charge me almost $7 in shipping. That isn’t free. Oh well nevermind then.
Reply
Nevermind… I got it to $0…

Hello Chris,
I already order for Kingston 1GB USB Flash Drive.
Is $10,- Google Checkout only valid for Kingston 1GB USB Flash Drive ?
or I can use it to buy other stuffs as well ?
May be for stuff under $ 10,-..
Do I need to make a new account again ?
and use other or same bank account ?
Thanks

its for anything $10 and over on buy.com with new google checkout accounts. You can make a new account with a different Gmail address
