I was from Challenger just now

Samsung MicroSDs Grade 1 Class 10

32GB Evo: Member: $38 (Normal Price: $45)
64GB Evo: Member price is around $65++ (forgot the normal price)
64GB Pro: Member: $105 (Normal Price: $118)

Retail price tend to be steep. Prices should be the same for the Samsung store.

For SLS, you may check it out at HWZ online price guide (e.g Cybermind) and compare. Do note that for Challenger, they are still stocking the old Pro versions so please do not get mixed up. I asked for the warranty; it is 10 years confirmed and another 1 year for the SD adapter officially by Samsung..

From one of my earlier post

Grab this off challenger's price list. I assume their RRP is same as Samsung's.

For EVO 64GB
After 20% discount is - $63.20
After 40% discount is - $47.40

For PRO 64GB
After 20% discount is - $94.40
After 40% discount is - $70.80

So if my assumption of the RRP is correct and after comparison to one of SLS pricelist, the 40% is worthy to redeem.

Got trolled. :( So 2 weeks later than can redeem. HWZ Admin did not inform samsung to prepare stock in advance when the lead time is 2 weeks. Very easy to calculate when the first batch will get 400 points.

Samsung is revamping their whole SD card lineup at once by simplifying it into three product series: Standard, EVO and the PRO. Those who are familiar with Samsung's SSDs notice that the EVO and PRO brands are adopted from the 840 SSD series, which makes sense given Samsung's success in the SSD space and the brand they've been able to build with the 840 EVO and Pro.

Samsung's goal with the branding is to make it as easy as possible for the customer to select an SD card that fits their needs because oftentimes SD cards are marketed using the class system (like class 10), which may not tell much to an average SD card shopper. Electronics stores tend to have isles of SD cards available and differentiating in that space is extremely hard, so Samsung hopes that its simple branding will help to boost sales. Each brand also has a unique color (turquoise for Standard, orange for EVO and black for PRO) that aims to simplify branding even further and to allure customers.

As one would expect, the PRO is of course the fastest offering available and provides rather impressive transfers rate of up to 90MB/s. Most SD card use scenarios don't require that high throughputs but as 4K video is steadily making its way into the hands of consumers, the storage media has to evolve as well. Some DSLRs can also be picky with SD card performance and especially professionals like to have the fastest card available to make sure the SD card isn't bottlenecking the performance of the DSLR.
