I have 3 year on my body right? In the US at least you can throw the cards away. Unless you want to provide Nikon USA with free consumer data, or are applying for a rebate or special offer. The courts have said that the vendor's warranty is automatically yours when you buy an item. You do not have to send in registration cards for the warranty to take effect. It won't hurt to send them in, if the postage is paid. For what it's worth, it even helps resale if you can say 'all warranty cards included.' In the olden days, I always sent in my warranty cards. That's because the vendors would sign you up for a couple year's worth of free subscription to glossy color quarterlies like "Nikon World" or "Minolta Eye." Where have those neat freebies gone (Leica still sends "Leica Quarterly").
