Thanks!

Yes. To test this out, click on any random BIN auction, click "Buy it Now", and it will go to a confirmation page first, and there it should tell you how much you get off.

DO NOT click on one that says "Immediate Payment Required" since I am not sure if it will go to the confirmation page first.

Yes. But make sure then on the "commit to buy" screen right after you click on the buy it now button that there is the cashback amount listed..or it might say that it does not qualify for cashback. Check it out

Yup, when you click the Buy It Now button, it will bring you to a confirmation page and will show you how much you are getting back with the promotion. If it doesn't say that, it didn't go through and don't buy it.

Also I'm a little fuzzy on the cashback cap - is it $250 max per transaction or per session?

Actually you can test coupons with "Immediate Payment Required" as well as the live discount. I don't know if you can test coupons in regular checkout auctions.

Wow...worked like a charm. Bought a Dell UltraSharp 2709W (newest release from Dell, retails for $999) for $849 with full five year warranty and free shipping. Cashback logo pasted all over the place, showed total of $212.25 rebate due.

So my total, assuming MS comes through with the rebate, is $636.75 for an excellent piece of LCD goodness.

27" model with 178 viewing angle and 6ms response time
Display Port, HDMI, DVI, VGA, component and composite inputs
4 port USB hub
9-in-2 media card reader

BTW, there's one more of these monitors available from the same vendor, item #160256415394.

Just went and bought a nuvi 760 using the 25% off. Total came out to around $290. Thanks OP. hmmm, what else to buy?

 

[Vikroda]

Back down to 10% for now.

 

[JeremiahASEC]

ah man...i was just getting on to debate what to buy for another couple hours...guess i'll skip it now since it's at 10 percent...didn't really need a new receiver and surround sound anyways i guess

 

[Q]

Updated, back down to a measly 10%

 

[OCGuy]

Got a Q9450 for $243! Thanks guys!


So after I pay by paypal, I get some email telling me I get money back and to make a Live account?

 

[Damn Dirty Ape]

I was eyeing those, but wanted to use my MS discounts on things that were'nt going to drop 25%+ within the next 30 days or so.. make it more worthwhile

 

[JeremiahASEC]

i'm eyeballing a receiver now...i'd definately pull the trigger if the 25% came back...but now i'm not sure if i should jump on it or hold off...it's a damn good price already...argh!

decisions.

I STILL haven't gotten the cash back on my first two purchases and MS isn't answering my email!

i'm assuming there's about a bajillion emails they haven't responded to. the conditions/terms say it could take 60 days...how long have you waited?

Anyone else having trouble logging into their Cashback account? I have tried on three different computers and cannot even get the login page to load, it just gives the generic "page failed to load" error. All other websites function perfectly normally.

Works for me. I've seen posts like this before on CAG and it seems pretty common, you should be able to login soon.

60 days to get the cash back but it is supposed to show up as pending in the account within 7 days. Been like 10 days now. However I just got this email from them:

"We just wanted to follow-up with you and let you know that we are continuing to work on your issue. Currently, there are a number of users experiencing this and similar problems. We are working closely with eBay to determine the cause of these problems and to find the best solutions.

Good news it seems.

Are you on roadrunner? I had that issue until I disabled the auto redirect option. I forget how you get to it but once I changed that it fixed this issue and the same issue with another site.

 

[Denithor]

Seems to be working now, thanks Sparky!

My account already shows a credit of $212.25 from the Dell LCD I bought yesterday. Wowsers. Now I just wait two months and collect the cash.

Come on, 25-35% again, I want some more stuff!!!

Anyone having issues on getting cashback on ebay motors items? Today is day 8 on my purchase of 4 tires and no cashback showing. Going to send a email out to find out why.

Probably same thing as happened to me. I sent an email and they said that people have had issues and they are working with ebay to find out why. Send the email, so they know you have an issue too so that when they fix the issue they can fix you up as well.

Unless of course you bought a car, you don't get cash back on that

Here's the URL for the regular Live Search with Cashback:

http://search.live.com/cashback

It's pretty nice because (1) it gives you cashback on regular shopping like at Newegg, ZipZoomFly, Buy.com, etc., (2) it shows you the final price with shipping, and (3) it automatically sorts results by the most inexpensive. For example, I searched for "Intel Q6600" and it showed Newegg as the cheapest at $194.49 bottomline price with $5.60 cashback.

That's pretty tight

LOL, thats horrible; it shows you only get a 2.8% discount. would be better to get at least 10%. Wish I would have paid attention to this deal when it was 25-35%; hopefully they will go up again

 

[Corpun]

Back up to 25% gogogo!
