I think it was $289 plus tax. They only had the silver ones.
I got my reader last month with my Aeroplan points since I wasn't going to use them for anything else soon. I'm not completely sure, but I think the value of points is around 0.8 cents per point for merchandise, which works out to about $330 dollars--which isn't that bad... Shipping is included in the price.

Good luck. By the way, I'm really happy with my 505 so far, especially since I got it (sorta) free!!
