Be careful with that one. They're advertising an Ultra card but showing a standard SDHC card.

Knowing BestBuy anything crazy is possible.
Safest would be store pick-up if available around..

Agreed. I could use a couple and I have a gift card, but I don't trust them enough to buy without seeing it.

You can always return it, that's what I'll do if needed...but for that price, from a reputable dealer, I'm in!

I can't call it best deal specially if it is from WorstBuy!

This particular card is very slow.
Don't get fooled by Class 10. That is a general requirement to be qualified. And unfortunately industry didn't get beyond This point so there are very many variation from Bad to Excellent in Class 10 all labeled the same.
This particular card has a Reading capability of about 25-30 MB/s and the unfortunate thing is its more important capability which is "Writing Speed" that is about 12 MB/s.
What this means? This card if used only for storage at slow writing needs, is fine.
IF you use it for Video recording on newer cameras say T4i, then just forget; It probably gives you only an error message in first few second of recording.
If used for still photography and burst mode or RAW, you have to pause very soon before being able to take more pictures.

Make no mistakes, SD makes very good cards and for those who are looking to buy the real deal, check their cards that are labeled with 95MB/S or at least 45MB/S not this one. But still if you are using it for an old camera or voice recording device or even older Gopro camera, it should be OK.

Interesting that Best Buy's image shows a standard card with "Class 10" on it, yet when you check Sandisk's website they do not list any standard cards higher than Class 4. Class 10 are only found in Ultra and Extreme cards. I'll pass on this deal.

As I said it above, if you are looking for a high capacity card with good use in video, just forget this one.
I hat dealing with ignorant WorstBuy's customers service employees that is why in past 5 or 6 years I haven't make a single purchase from them.
There are several good deals showing up often but always be careful of "Writing Speed" of card you buy.

At BB store they have the ULTRA (model # ending with A11) for $69.99
The same is available at walmart for $29.99. Go figure..

I bought 2 32GB SDHC ULTRA cards marked 45MB/s for $35.99 each on sale Tuesday at my BB - they were the last 2 on display.

I think it has become time that if you shop around, you can find some good prices.
