If only it were 25%...

Almost there...keep searching.

Hiccup!

I jumped on the 35% deal and got a 160GB 7200RPM laptop drive for $52, thanks to the OP!

As soon as it comes back, if it does, I'm buying a crapload more stuff.

I just got a 10% coupon from eBay and it looks like that might even be usable with this cashback deal, so it would be ~25% off.

I guess this deal spoiled me though, because 25% off doesn't sound like much anymore.

If 35% comes back and I can use the 10% coupon...... half price FTW

I still have 3 open tabs with 35% off links that I haven't clicked on yet. I've heard mixed reports on this working so I'm not getting my hopes up. I don't know what I'd buy if it does work though... getting a gtx280 would be nice, but I'm not so sure

Where did you find 35%? 35% hasn't been active since Tuesday.

It definitely works. All you have to do is follow the instructions and set up a Live Cashback account after you buy something. And make sure that when you are buying something, it shows "Cashback" in the confirmation screen and it will say how much you are getting back.

Yeah, if you dont want to use the 35% offs, ill take em

It was active for one hour on weds. That's when I used my first 35% coupon and opened up some extras. I got the ebay cashback message, but my cashback account doesn't show it pending yet, but it's only been 24 hours so I'll give it some more time before I contact them.

Edit: And as for the working thing, I'm talking about leaving a search page with the 35% link open for a while then clicking it at a later date. I know the promotion itself works since I used it already.

Apparently the offer expires in 1 hour after you click, so you're 35% tabs may not work.

That's only after you click the offer, not after it appears in the search ads. I have the search pages open with the unclicked links. People who have done the same on FW/SD have said that it works.

 

[foolish501]

wonder how long this offer will last for. was thinking of putting my laptop for sale, and mention in the listing how people could get 15% cashback on it.

I just got 2 20% tabs open with OP link and different searches than OP.

 

[Chronoshock]

It is indeed now 20%, it's not 35% but it's still pretty damn good.

 

[Extelleron]

Hopefully it will keep crawling up.... looking back I can't believe I didn't either buy more or keep tabs open....

Come on MS, 35%!!!

 

[Delerious]

I think 25% is the breaking point for me. I'll hop on that.

 

[havoti97]

I think the "keeping the tab open" loophole doesn't work anymore. Left a window with tabs last night, this morning, click, no discount. Can someone confirm it?

 

[uhohs]

yep, waiting for atleast 25% as well, but i think a ton of people are jumping on this 20%

Did you click on the link previously? It might have expired that way. People on SD/FW have had success accessing the cached link of the search page (go to offline mode, go to your history 3 days ago for the live search page, if it's cached it'll show up. Go to online mode and click the 35% off link). Keeping a tab open is the same principle.

Nope, did not click the link. Just did search and left the live search window the way it was. Then came back the next morning and tried one of the links, no go.

Still waiting...c'mon MS make it higher and I'll have my early X'mas. Oh, till the next great deal comes along.

 

[Vikroda]

Hmm. 20% with the 10% coupon. I think I'll hold out for 30% with the extra 10%.

 

[Ryland]

So how are you getting ebay to show up as a "store" to purchase from? All I get are the normal retailers.

NM I got it

Interesting... since I had 3 35% tabs open and I already used it once (and I have no plans on doing a second account) that means that I have an extra tab to experiment with. I opened the cashback link in a new window and the 35% discount showed up (and was still present when I clicked a buy it now link). I decided not to buy anything since I was curious if the link would work multiple times.
An hour later the cashback timed out and the icon was gone. I opened the same link in a new window again and the cashback shows up again. Looks like you can use the same link repeatedly as long as you don't navigate away from the page (open in tab or window).
