Free Keyboard

The AnandTech Effect strikes again ...

"Due to high demand, American Express is no longer offering the Stand-Alone USB Reader or CompaqTM Reader Keyboard. If you are still interested in obtaining a Smart Card Reader free of charge, the Stand-Alone Serial Reader(s) are still available (while supplies last)."

received my reader today in the mail. It has 2 connections, keyboard passthrough and serial. Have yet to test it with anything.

So if I don't have American express credit card...the reader won't do anything for me...right?

 

[DaddyGrant]

I just got mine in the mail today also

 

[DJMiX]

Got mine today also, I decided to make me a keyboard extrension cable out of mine....

 

[yukichigai]

No keyboard yet. Any way to tell if they cancelled your order?

 

[MDE]

How are these delivered? USPS, UPS, FedEx?

 

[JafCo]

Got my serial reader today, 2day UPS. Not sure what to use it for yet; it's not standard ISO format as far as I can tell.

 

[KidViciou$]

i still haven't recieved mine

 

[ApacheXMD]

got my serial today too. 2nd day UPS. I bet shipping these things cost more than the reader is worth.

-patchy

 

[INXSible]

Got mine (PS2)

With luck, I'll also receive the other 29 keyboards I ordered.

I got my card reader. Now I need to find some place to let it collect dust because I have no use for it.

Got my keyboard yesterday. It's a very nice, quality unit that replaces a cheap one I got for free about seven years ago. I'm a Blue cardholder, so maybe they're cross-referencing requests for the keyboard with account holders...

google toolbar autofill owns you

Looks like "Serial Reader" is all they have left.

 

[faenix]

I'm not a BLUE user and I got my keyboard + reader.

Flame me all you want but I really thought it wasn't going to come until it both came today via 2nd day Air UPS. =)

keyboard + reader

[rockman1117]

Non Cardmember and I haven't recieved a board. I doubt I will. Oh well, it was worth a shot.

Got mine via 2nd day mail from Amex... but they sent me the crappy serial port one.... no more keyboard ones left to order I guess.
