    Use RAK15 for code and select Adorama Camera as seller (Great company never have had an issue)

    I am tempted to buy it...ends up being ~$460 hummmmm (last lowest price was $485). Prices have really dropped so makes me wonder if i should just wait....any thoughts on why prices and dipped so low?

    I don't need it...i just hate having to delete programs and move files around 24/7 :/ having two of these would solve my hardrive space issue

    It says invalid code.

    But it is $539 at Amazon right now too. Just would be nice to get the 15% off in addition. Very cheap for 1TB of fast reliable SSD storage.

    there codes tend to be only one day so i check rakuten.com/their facebook page daily. or twice a day. Morning and evening typically. to make sure i dont miss a code due to checking before or after it posts. Also make sure you can use the RSP on something useful too. I used like my 500 dollars towards the titan backpack and camera lens and SD cards since rakuten was the cheapest place for all of that....some stuff their is just not worth buying there so make sure you can use the RSP in an effective manner otherwise your "15%" off isn't "15%" off if you understand what i am saying

    Be wary of rakuten. I've heard some stories of credit card fraud with Rakuten.
