[...] America had it’s annual Black Friday event last week, a day of bargains for shoppers across the country. Users of Live Search were promised a 40% cashback offer on HP products – but many complained they only received a poultry 3%. On top of that, the actual Live.com site was down most of the day. [...]

I sent live.com a very polite email telling them I spent 12 hours trying to get thru and that they should give me a 40% cashback coupon to HP to use at my leisure. They probably won’t reply but I encourage others to do the same.

You freaks…complaining about getting discounts? Nothing can work perfectly all the time. When you have an insane deal OF COURSE there will be problems. I have used cashback and its works awesome. No complaints at all. I used Live.com to search for tons of stuff and it wasn’t having any problems on Black Friday…strange…

Microsoft has made a smart move with the cashback, that’s for sure!

Got 3% instead of 40%. Will be returning the notebook If I don’t get 40% cashback. I would say that for the extra pain that people like me going throught MS should credit more than 40% to compensate. Ofcourse their intention was correct but then if that caused problem for others they should take the heat!

actually, you don’t get paid straight away… takes 30 days for the transaction to credit you to avoid issues with chargebacks etc.

I’ve had no problems with the service… but the cashback isn’t instant

I got the 3% instead of the 40% also. We’ll see on Monday if they make this right. If not the order gets canceled.

Bought a $1200 HP Laptop at hpshopping. Got an email this morning informing me that I was credited 3% instead of 40%. It will be canceled unless customers service makes right. They promise a response in 3-5 business days.
Works like a charm with eBay though.

I guess I was just lucky, I bought 3 items before the issues reported yesterday. I got one instant rebate (for a laptop) and the other 2 are pending (rebate expected after 60 days), overall I am happy with the results but looking at the comments it seems Microsoft lost an opportunity to reach more commercial search users…

hi Mike

Here is the cut and paste from the email I received from Microsoft. I bought a laptop, and some of the sellers are including steps on how to get discount from Microsoft.

===================================
Thanks for searching, shopping and saving with Microsoft Live Search cashback – The Search That Pays You Back!

From your recent purchases, you have earned cashback savings!

To view the details for this purchase or your other Live Search cashback transactions, sign into your Live Search cashback account. The rebate has been paid to the PayPal account that you used to make the purchase!

You received $100.00 from your eBay purchase on 11/28/2008:
========================================

I saw two transactions in PayPal – one for the item I paid to the seller, and the other $100 for the instant rebate.

I always thought the rebate was delayed, say after 60 days. But I was surprised to receive the money right away …..
