Bing Cashback ends July 30th

Sign in to disble this ad
Just got an email from MS saying cashback will be shut down on July 30th. So even though the 8% that's it's been lately is not much to bother about, if you want it then now's the time.

***edited to say July, not June.

That 8% is great when grabbing BUY IT NOW items on eBay. Often there's people selling new product with free shipping for less than you can get the same thing used for. And buying on eBay with BIN usually gets you your cashback immediately VS 60 days.

Case in point. Someone was selling a used GT-10b here for $375 shipped. You can get it new for $389 shipped less 8% cash back which means it's only $357.88 shipped brand new on eBay.

Actually ends on July 30th, not June.

You can get a Line6 M9 for $305 shipped via ebay and Cashback, which is instant when using Buy It now. Seriously, why buy used?

Even though it did say July, it looks like it's done now

Yeah I'm still seeing it. I must have mis-read the initial email from them.

Yes - once you have searched for Wii on www.bing.com, click on the link and it takes you to ebay...I just bought a new lens for my camera tonight and got an instant $100 cashback!!

Still working - I think you might be doing something wrong. I don't think they have a guy there randomly switching it on and off...

You're right, it is working with IE. The odd thing is that it worked fine with firefox until yesterday and then it cut back on for a little while, I thought they might be collecting market data or something.

I got sick of it cutting in and out so I determined to only use IE when I was going to buy something using the Bing.com discount.

I figured it out, it's in the "sponsored" section so you have to make sure you cut off all ad-filtering/blocking for bing.com in firefox
