Killer deal between Picasa (Google) and Eye-Fi

December 7th, 2009

I got the scoop on this and yes I am allowed to print it early.

Eye-Fi Collaborates With Google’s Picasa to Make Storing and Sharing Memories Easier

Consumers Who Buy 200GB or More of Extra Google Storage Receive a Free Eye-Fi Card 4GB SDHC Home video card ($69.99 value) includes one free year of Web Share and Geotagging ($24.98 value). These services will remain free if Eye-Fi card is used to upload to Picasa Web Albums.

I own an Eye-Fi card and this is a pretty awesome deal. So much so that I upgraded my 2GB Eye-Fi to a 4GB. The only drawback is that Picasa does not allow you to store RAW. That’s too bad , but still very flexible.

Here is some fine print from the Picasa page

Eye-Fi promotion details

Have you received anything from Google/Eye-Fi since placing your order? I already had some Picasa storage and was only charged $30 at checkout. The only email I've received was the receipt for the $30 worth of storage I added. I'm hoping I don't need to order more to put myself over the $50 threshold.

I ordered $50 worth that what the article said was the price point for the free eye-fi. You had to buy the 200GB deal . Thats' my understanding based on what I read.
