On my previous 3 purchases I got an email back stating I've earned cashback with the link to "get cash back". The mornings purchase I got an email stating my purchase was eligible for cashback with no link. I did everything the same as before. Is there something wrong with this last purchase?

The same thing happened to me on a purchase I made yesterday.... except this is the first time I tried using live.com for a purchase.

Basically, I got this message but the "Get Cash Back" button isn't there.

Does it cost anything at any time to use?

Nope, its a free service that microsoft is letting us use to try and get more traffic and become the #1 search engine

Try logging into your live.com account and see if it shows up there. I had this happen on Sunday night but when I went to my account, the pending cashback had shown up.

It isn't there. I was going to give it until tomorrow to show up and then contact their support.

I agree with Fry, that would be the best thing to do. Let me know if you log in and it still isn't in your account. Then I'll have to look into it and contact a couple people at microsoft

It isn't there. How long should it take before it appears on my Live account? I bought it and paid yesterday at 2:04 PST.

WHAT THE HELL!!! I have tried a hundred times to do this, and I can't get to eBay from the f-ing search!!! It keeps re-directing me to other searches every time I click on the eBay 25% link... I'm SO pissed off!

You more than likely have some spyware on your computer redirecting you.

Download one or both of these, run it, and try again:

Lavasoft Adaware
Spybot

That's weird. When you paid, you did see the little logo stating that you would get 25% back throughout the checkout process, correct?

Yup. Everything went like the tutorial here until I got the message from eBay saying I have cash back but there wasn't a button.

One time I had to wait a couple days for the money to show up in my live.com account. Continue to be patient, it should be in your account in a couple days at the latest. If its not by Wednesday evening, let me know so you or I can contact microsoft.

Adaware should fix the problem for you. Haven't used Spybot before, but I've been using Adaware for years. Either way this should clear up the problem.

Does Mac not support the adaware program? I'm not exactly sure what to tell you as it may be something with the Mac or your OS. I'm not intelligent with Macs for the reason that I've never owned one and have rarely used them.

I know this was asked in the past but I couldn't find the question asked. Can you use the live.com discount on any site? I've been thinking of buying a new guitar and this might be the push I need to pull the trigger. Don't see the guitar I want on eBay and was wondering if I could use the discount on sites like samash.com, guitarcenter.com etc.

When I did the search I only noticed the discount tag next to the link for eBay.

Any help is much appreciated!!

I do not believe samash.com, guitarcenter are part of the discount program. Short answer, I doubt it

:( I didn't think so, but I was hoping. Now, if one of the stores would list a Martin DC15E on eBay we'd be in business.

Good luck on your search. I have no idea how popular of a model that is, but I would be shocked if one would not be listed with the holdiays right around the corner
