Updated 9/20: Bing cashback

[Q]

edited OP, "cheap ps2" yields 20% off

 

[Chronoshock]

Oh yeah, another tip: Search for "You may get 35% off" site:search.live.com using search.live.com to find most of the terms that originally had the 35% off. You can click the cached link to see and old 35% link but they won't work (I'm guessing the links are dynamically created with id corresponding to cookie data/IP/time/etc.). It's a good source though if the promotions on different key terms are actually independent.

Note: the following results are inactive and purely for reference
35%

25%

well, after you get a taste of 35% off, anything less just won't do..

 

[AAman]

how the heck didn't I see this thread? Just got 20% of a replacement mobo, that'll pay for the shipping and drop the price by 1/6th

 

[sgrinavi]

Thanks OP, a new 4850 for $160 (shipped) with the 20% cash back... nice.

 

[imported_Champ]

20% live rebate plus a 10% coupon, not bad

Anybody know when this deal ends?

Anyone else not able to load the cashback accounts page? I've clicked on the "Get Cashback" link in my ebay inbox several times, but it never loads (both firefox and IE)

I think that link is supposed to take you to live account page. It's possible it's down for the moment, try again later?

Been trying since yesterday (6/21) at 8am, still doesn't work for me this morning....

 

[widefault]

If you use RoadRunner, there's a redirect being done that keeps you from getting into the Get Cashback link.

Go here, http://ww23.rr.com/prefs.php

Disable the redirect and it should work.

duuuude... sweet fix. thanks, widefault

Guys, right now if you search for "bluray", you'll get 25%.

Edit: Seems to be kind of random, btw. Try "blueray" too.

Indeed! First search for "bluray" returned the 25% banner. Thanks jose

Does anybody know when this live discount will end? I searched online, looked at the Microsoft live cashback FAQ.....and nothing gives a date when this ends....argh...to buy a Radeon 4850 now and get 25% off, or wait until the 4870 arrives this week and chance the possibility this deal ends?

This MS cashback promo has only been active for ~5 days so I'd be willing to wager it will continue for at least another couple of days. (week) It's unlike MS to halt a promo like this one after only a few days, especially in light of the fact that the cashback % is creeping back up, although not at the original 35% ... yet

I would hold out on the 4870 if I were you.

 

[Chronoshock]

The fact that they haven't cancelled it and are actually increasing the %s means that the ad campaign has been successful and also that they can afford to give out these percentages. I would imagine it's going to stick around for a while more.
I also would love to wait until the 4870 comes out, I have 2 more uses of the promotion left on my account and grabbing 4870 CF for only 450 or less would be great.

 

[Extelleron]

Right now I'm still holding out, hoping for that 35%. I plan on purchasing an E8400 + motherboard if I can get that discount. GPS would be nice too but I'm not sure I want to use my 2nd eBay account. There doesn't seem to be anything in the rules against one person using multiple accounts, but still it doesn't seem right.

To be honest I'm surprised this keeps creeping out, even though this is exactly what I have been hoping for. This is a great advertising program and it has certainly got me to use Live Search, but I don't quite see the advantage of MS giving away so much money now that people are much more aware of the service. Still though... I want my 35%

Thanks! Yeah, I might hold out and see if the 35% off comes back again, if it goes to 30% I might even just take that. Only thing that kind of sucks is you have to wait 60 days to actually get your money back, watch Microsoft screw everybody and say nope, sorry.
