Ok, so I jumped on the 30% live.com cash back. In my ebay messages it lists I have cashback that needs to be claimed. I've gone to live.com and set that up, but I still see no cash back pending. I bought the item at the first of the week, and the payment cleared paypal today. Should I be waiting longer for this, or is it typically faster than 5 days? Suggestions? |

I had to do that to receive my cashback pending status.
He doesn't have pending status yet. |

https://cashbackaccount.search.live.com/CashBack/FAQ.aspx#faq11 Q: A cashback reward isn't showing up in my account. What should I do? A: Most cashback rewards appear as pending within a day or two, but occasionally a store may take longer to tell us about an eligible purchase. If you made a purchase more than two days ago that isn't displayed in your cashback account, contact us with your purchase details. We'll get back to you just as soon as we can. Your cashback reward might not be showing up in your account for other reasons: Your transaction might have failed because of an error during the purchase. Contact the merchant directly to confirm that the purchase was processed. If the merchant confirms that the purchase was processed, contact us for further help. You might not have finished activating your account if this was your first time making a purchase that is eligible for cashback. To finish activating your account, look for an e-mail message that you should have received and that included a link for activating your account. Do one of the following: * If you did not receive or cannot find the e-mail, click here to sign in and finish claiming your cashback. * If you still have the e-mail, sign out of your cashback account, click the link in the e-mail message to activate your account, and sign in using your existing cashback account. After signing in, the purchase should show within two days. You might not have activated your eBay.com account if this is your first time making a purchase from eBay that is eligible for cashback. To activate your eBay.com account: 1. Log out of your cashback account. 2. Go to www.ebay.com, log in, and click My Messages. 3. Look for an e-mail message from eBay with the subject, "You've earned cashback," and open it. 4. Click the Get Cash Back button in the body of the e-mail message. 5. When prompted to do so, log into the account you wish to associate all eBay cashback purchases with. 6. After signing in, the purchase should show up in your account within two days. NOTE: If you do not have an email from eBay, please contact eBay support for assistance. You may also want to review separate eBay terms and conditions to make sure that your eBay purchase was eligible for cashback savings. You might have used a third-party alternative method of payment, such as Google Checkout or PayPal. If so, click here. |
Or does MS somehow know when the payment is processed through paypal? |
Yes, the money doesn't show pending until the payment clears. You should be good if the payment cleared today which means it should show in your live account in 24 hours. |
Yes, several times.
Ah, then that should explain it. Thanks! |
yeah, waiting sucks... but free money is awesome! I haven't, and won't, use live.com for anything other than searching for bargains. M$ is losing money on me big time. |
Its great isn't it? As soon as I get the money in this account I'm going to do another order or three. Christmas is coming and I'm going to get the crap knocked out early. |
What about buying Krugerrands and then selling them immediately? Does Live.com give you money back on them? |

6 already? There was someone on fatwallet or whatever the other site is (linked in the big thread) that was over 2500 or there abouts in refunds with one account. I believe he used the same account too. Though I doubt it would be hard to setup another ebay account or paypal. Some banks will allow you to open a 2nd checking account or savings account with nothing in it for paypal, etc uses. |
