Wow. I e-mailed them and they set me up with a replacement within a week. I take back what I said earlier (as follows):
It worked fine when I bought it, but I was mad from the beginning that the capacity is really 3.6GB, 10% lower than what it is advertised as. About six months after I bought it, it stopped working. When I put it into my camera, it says "insert memory card" (it worked before in the same camera) and when I tried using it in my computer, the computer saw that it was there (the SD Card drive popped up on the Computer folder) but I wasn't able to open it--if I clicked the icon it would say that it wasn't there. If I held the card in all the way (rather than letting it spring partially back out as the drive is designed) it would work, which leads me to believe that the problem is a defective metal contact on the card itself. I felt confident when buying the product (at Target) because it had a "lifetime warranty" but their website tells me that I need to exchange it through the retailer. I can't find anything about it on Target's website. I tried calling Dane-Elec but it went to a voicemail, odd for a corporation. I also e-mailed them... guess I'll see where that goes...
Look elsewhere to buy one with at least a more well-established return policy. I'm NEVER buying one of these again.Get more detail about Dane-Elec 4 GB SDHC Flash Memory Card DA-SD-4096-R.
