I'm not sure that this isn't an error on Buy.com's side. The rebates seem to all have the same Offer# and address. It's essentially the same form twice. If you're really going to do this, it might be worth your time to call the 800 number before you order anything and make sure you can receive a double rebate.
 
I just clicked on this link and it showed me both rebates and the $8.99 price after rebate. Closed the window and clicked on it again 1 minute later and now there's only one rebate and a $22.99 AR price. So it looks like it was a mistake and there is only one rebate. Guess that price was too good to be true. Still not too bad of price though for mini-SD.
 
Bogus double rebate

Just got off the phone with Kingston. 2 purchases on the same form are acceptable, NOT 2 rebates for 1 card purchase. There is only 1 rebate per card. But like the other person said, pretty good price for a mini SD 1 gig anyway.

Hope this helps
 
It looks like the product is out of stock anyway. So, it's really a moot issue. Here's hoping that they'll restock!
 
And the good news is ...

... that Buy.com will refund the $14 on the product (or other Kinston products) because it was a mistake on their end showing the double rebate. Its like getting the second rebate "instantly" without any submissions. So in case you ordered the item(s), wait for their refund email, or, pursue them for the same if you do not receive the email soon.
 
So this is what buy.com sent me .... I'ts nice of them to honor this error, and the best part is they are just taking the amount right off me purchase:bigok:

Dear Robert,
At Buy.com we strive to provide the widest assortment of high-quality products at everyday low prices.

However, sometimes circumstances beyond our control affect our selection.

We were recently informed that the following line item on your order #XXXXXXXX contained information that was in error:

Description: Kingston 1GB miniSD Card - 1 GB - miniSD Card
Sku: 202152401
Qty: 1

Our website incorrectly showed two manufacturer rebates for this item. In fact this item should have only had a single rebate and the manufacturer will only honor one rebate for this item.

However, since we value your business, we are happy to inform you that Buy.com will be refunding your method of payment in the amount of the second rebate that would not have been honored by the manufacturer. So in the end you will save just as much money as you thought you would when you placed your order.

You will be notified by email once your refund is sent to your financial institution to be applied to your account. Please note that this will not happen until after your product ships and your method of payment is billed. Once your financial institution is notified of the credit to your account, please allow 3 days for them to process the refund.

We apologize for any confusion this might have caused.

We have also corrected the information on our website to avoid any future confusion.
