Updated 9/20: Bing cashback

[Chronoshock]

Just got a 10% off coupon in the mail today. It expires june 30th so I won't be able to get a 4870 unless it's released early, but I can get the same savings if I buy a velociraptor which I was planning to do anyways

Microsoft is going to be paying a ton of money from all the people doing this throughout the various forums. Hope they keep thier word.

 

[gregtor]

i'm sure they have some kind of deal to allow ebay to have a free sponsored link.

I got a Q6600 and OCZ 1000mhz 4gb Ram from a very reputable dealer (Mwave) through ebay and I will be getting $75 back . I couldn't get the 10% to work because I never got the email. You can't put that coupon in until you commit to buy. I screwed up and put in a Q6600 without the live cashback. The seller (multiwave video/Mwave) took it off for me when legally I was bound to pay them. Awesome!

You're not kidding, I hope this marketing is worth it to them because this is going to cost millions. It was worth it to me

This is really no different than what Google checkout was doing. It's all about the search engine war. we get to win!

Back up to 15 percent, I'm sure it'll get back up to 25%+ soon

 

[mikeford]

I think I have it wired now, searched last night for "cheap nikon", selected "web" near the top of the search and got a ebay hit showing 15%. I clicked through the ebay link and my ebay page had the 15% banner at the top. I then used the normal ebay search function to locate some BIN Mustang parts, looked through them and bought what I wanted with the LIVE 15% cashback showing up each stage of the purchase.

First purchase I made is just now showing up in the LIVE account, about 24 hours later.

 

[SparkyJJO]

I had 15% showing up again, then hit refresh and BAM 20% OK I'm on ebay again

 

[mikeford]

I hope some of the ebay sellers that jack up the shipping cost realize with this promo its killing sales. All I want to buy are BIN's with free or $10 shipping.

What search term got you 20%?

 

[bowdenball]

Worked for me as well.

can you use the same Live account for multiple purchases ? or do you have to create a new account for each individual purchase ?

Folks, the search term is not critical! I put "itchy balls" in and got 20% off of golf balls. Just try different stuff. AFter a few trys you'll quickly find out what the best % is at that particular time.

You're only allowed to create 1 live account (per terms in the agreement). You can use the same paypal account and make a new ebay account if you've exceeded the 3 rebates (at least according to FW).

sounds like someone needs to be searching for cheap hydrocortisone.

 

[bigbangtech]

Is anyone else having trouble getting the link working that allows you to login to the cashback account on live.com?

(After making a qualifying purchase on ebay?)

I just get a page load error from https://cashbackaccount.search.../cashback/welcome.aspx

Ebay's TOS states that you can use coupon in conjunction with the offer and when MS and ebay's terms conflict, Ebay's controls.

Oh btw, it's back to 20% currently.

 

[hddvd]

yeah its back to 20%. Combine that with CJUNE0810P (10% off) and CJUNE10SHIP ($10 off shipping) and its a good deal. I purchased 2 HD4850s but it was to late to use the %10 off coupon. Damn!

 

[Damn Dirty Ape]

still 20. damn

 

[Xbladr]

The second it hits 25 I am going to make my purchase I am just waiting though.

 

[Damn Dirty Ape]

same here. couple of things I want are around 100 or so, so it won't be the end of the world if it drops to 10, but I'd love to see 35 and the family gets a ps3 MGS edition.

In fact I have a watch list of about 5 items should it hit 35 for some reason. yes. oh yes.

/but trying to be realistic and all.
