Read them all, you're fine, just max of 6 purchases per eBay account, nothing says only 6 per person or address.
I bet this deal is going to disappear soon.....what else to buy? Can't think of any cool gadgets that I don't have besides a MP3 player but I don't listen to music much.
I would really like to buy all the parts for a new computer using the 30% off but I don't need a new one......I really don't need anything....but I just have to buy considering this deal
Got a new 4870 video card, figured I would need it for Farcry 2 that comes out October 21st. I would really like to get another 2GB of memory to make my total memory 4GB, but then I would have to format my computer, install Vista 64bit and all the drivers = pain in the ass.

I was an idiot to buy all these new parts from new egg... but most were lower than 666.67 and I wanted max for 6 I could get.
I know it's hard as heck to find out what you want let alone need.
Edit OK I just ordered electric boat anchor via Mrs Zebo's acct and getting cash back! I am going to cancel over at (a matter a fax) Thanks for heads up!

I don't see how. They are going to pay out a ton of cash (if they pay it) and we'll all still use Google. Where is the benefit for MS let alone genius? Seems retarded to me.
Brand recognition?
Maybe in cahoots with ebay or paypal?
The 70 days they have for cashback they are investing wisely?
I would say you are correct in that most people will not use their search engine, but that could just be a small factor in the scheme of things. I know when I talk about it with friends or tell someone about it, I don't say live search cashback (mostly because nobody knows what live search is), I say microsoft cashback. It definitely makes me like MS as a company Maybe all the word of mouth is worth the cash.
How much do you think MS spends on advertising campaigns? How much did Seinfeld cost? A small portion of people will actually max out the $1200 on each account. If MS set out just 50million it would take 40,000+ people maxing out their cashback to reach that amount.
Lets set a more realistic $300 cashback for each person. That's more than 160,000 people MS just made happy. Those people probably talked about their new fancy gadgets they just got for cheap.
Bottom line is I'm pretty sure that the price per a sure thing in making someone happy with MS as a company is financially sound move.
Yep, got most of the stuff I wanted but I need to spend some more to take advantage of that 30% CB.Originally posted by: JLee
I should come up with something to buy...30% is too much to pass up!

Somewhat correct in my opinion,... they are not making money in that 70 days you have to wait by investing that money though,... it was already theirs to invest to begin with and would be for longer than 70 days.
Where they make up money is ad revenue,.... the more people going through their search engine, the more they can promote ads, charge for ads, etc on their site. Very similar to dial up days when AOL would give away free service basically to keep their membership high so they could generate ad revenue.
It is also to get people used to their search engine,... a percentage will actually change usage and use the Live search engine once they become used to it,... not everyone is in love with Google.... I personally never use it.
