[Best way to get Visa/MC/Amex gift cards]

I saw in my Walgreens Sunday sales circular -- they have 'prepaid' MC. Usually you have to pay for these (I think $5/$10), but this week it's has a FAR (free after rebate).

Was at BB today (hate hate hate that store, but that's another story). Looked at the 1GB SanDisk and nowhere did it indicate that it would accept any additional memory. If this SanDisk does take a memory card, would someone please confirm? Will even go pay BB's current sale price of 80.

I think there are 2 kinds of sandisk mp3 players -- the regular ones and the sansa. The sansa has expansion slot for additional memory.

You get GC for your birthday? Where do I sign up?

What is the best one to get for a runner? My husband wants one for his morning runs and I am clueless. He doesn't want a lot of storage so that is not an issue. He needs something that doesn't go on a clip or in a pocket, maybe straps onto his arm? Any help you can give is greatly appreciated, and the cheaper the better!

I'm not a tech geek, but I have one of these (smaller size). I use it for running once a week. I like it since it has FM also. It has a strap on the arm. You have to print the full manual from the CD to get the full use of the mp3. The buttons are a little confusing (to me) and takes time to adjust to its function (or I am just dense!). At the same time, I don't know how does this one differ from other mp3s. I think if you are looking for something cheap that'll do the job, the Sandisk 512 will do. And I paid about the same for 256...
