I mean even if you don't get your refund ( which I have ) other places arent offering anything anyways. I mean it's worth a shot! As far as a lot of leg work...after setting up the account its just a matter of doing the search. I already received $200 back off a tv I bought through paypal on ebay. I went in to see if it was pending and with 5 min it had already beed deposited into my paypal account! I have a few more pending but who doesn't want to have some money pop back into their accounts right when you had just almost forgot about it ? ? ? Its like getting free money at that point. I mean like I said...I can pay the same price anywhere and KNOW that I'm not getting anything back or I can use live search and see how it plays out. So far for me it has worked.

I was supposed to be payed my cashback about 4 days ago and the cashback 'program' conveniently keeps postponing my payment everyday and tells me there is 1 day left before I get paid. They are basically holding my money that is owed to me and blaming it on a glitch in their software...should be called Microsoft Pushback. I contacted support and they said it's a known issue and will work on it, but couldn't guarantee me when it would be fixed. I asked if it would be days, weeks months? and they told me it could be a few days to a week. For a billion dollar software company that can't get a date right in it's programming is unacceptable and I will NEVER use live.com because of this. Once I get my cash I'm done. PLUS, you have to wait 60 days to be paid, then you have to submit to be payed which takes another 7 days for them to initiate a PayPal transfer which then takes another 7 days...stupid. Google, Firefox, Winamp, Adobe, Macromedia all the way...down with Microsoft. Microsoft’s cashback programs is garbage.
