23 posts in this topic

Go to www.live.com

 

Type "Sony" into the search bar and search it.

 

When the results come up, you'll see a gray box that has a link to eBay and says something like "You may be eligible to receive 20% off an eBay purchase if you pay with PayPal." Click it.

 

It's eligible for any Buy it Now item.

 

After you pay through paypal (You have to do it within 1 hour of hitting the BIN), eBay will eventually send you a message to claim your cashback. You then just follow the step-by-step directions to register for your cashback. It's free, no cost.

 

In 60 days, you simply tell Microsoft which PayPal account you want your cashback sent to and VIOLA!

10. eBay may permit you to combine Cashback Rewards with other eBay promotions, coupons, or gift certificates (each, an “eBay Promotion”) and may permit you to receive Cashback Rewards on purchases of gift cards or gift certificates. If eBay elects to do so, you will be provided with an opportunity to combine Cash Back Rewards with the eBay Promotion during the checkout flow on www.eBay.com.

Sounds too good to be true, so you have a max. of $250 back per session (that should be up to a $1,250 purchase?) and a max. of 3 sessions. Must hit the Buy it now within 60 minutes of the session beginning and you must pay within 30 days with Paypal (or less if the seller requires it).

 

But what the Hell?

 

3. You must pay for the eligible item using your PayPal account within the shorter of thirty (30) days of completing the purchase on http://Support-the-Collectors-Society.com and the time frame specified by the seller;

4. Only purchases that are completed on http://Support-the-Collectors-Society.com during an Online Session in accordance with the Program Terms as modified by these additional terms are eligible for Cashback Rewards. The following purchases that are completed on http://Support-the-Collectors-Society.com are not eligible for Cashback Rewards (“Excluded eBay Purchases”):

Jeez, making you work a little for your (possible, probable?) 20% discount, eh?

 

I think I'll avoid this for the same reason I almost never purchase items based on the incentive of a mail-in rebate. too much work, and then half the time they screw you by claiming they never received it or some BS excuse to void your claim. in the mean time you've spent 2 hours filling the out and then chasing them down, in the end all you are is pizzed off.

I actually heard about this on the beckett forums and the posters seemed to be quite happy with the results.

 

There is a link to that discussion here:

I did the 3 purchases, and it took about a day for the first to show up in my account after I clicked on the "Get cash back". Just have to wait the 60 days to get it in my Paypal. It was actually really easy and don't know about the previous poster stating it was a lot of steps.

 

25% off a computer monitor makes it a good deal!

Yep, looks like new "sessions" (initiated through a Live Search) are no longer possible.

 

This sounded like a promotion for Microsoft's continuing efforts to be relevant in the Google space. So, they'll probably be at it again before too long. :/:wishluck:

OK, so this appears to work with along with another Cash back program from www.BigCrumbs.com that also gets you cash back from not just eBay but a lot of other retailers online. To sign up is free. If you want to put a referrer when you do, I'd be more than happy that you filled in "IITravel" (that's 2 capital ii then Travel :blush:). Who wouldn't want free cash back when they purchase something on eBay or elsewhere that goes back into your Paypal account?
