I got an accessport for CHEAP with cashback

so i heard about this thing on live.com that if you search, you can get cashback, the most cashback through ebay items. i was like this sounds soooo sketchy, there is no way it can work. so i did a search on google and all these people from different forum posted all this hype about it working and saving up to $200 on items for their miatas, audis subaru's ect. i was convinces and now ready to try it out. i searched for the most expensive thing i wanted at the time, the Cobb Accessport. one came up on ebay for $625 and 20% cashback. (you have to have a hotmail account or create one for this to go through) so i figured, even if it doesnt work, theyre usually $695 anyway, right?

i hit the buy it now and then my palms started getting sweaty. "this is an expensive mistake" i thought.

there are a few instructions you have to follow on links to follow ect. the money didnt show up right away, but within a few hours it showed up in my 'cashback' account as pending, and the catch is that you have to wait 30-90 days, i believe, for it to show up in your account as actual cashback to use. well, last week it popped up in my account, i took the option of transferring into paypal, and transferred it right into my bank account.

I just used that to get a snowboarding helmet and bought my girl a bomb valentines day dinner!!! this cashback thing saved me $189.86 on an accessport!!!! im not sure if it is still available for items, but i thought i'd share with y'all just in case it still is and you can all save a lot of money like i did!

I think they cut the live cash back for ebay now.... the way it works is that you have to use live.com to search for an item... after signing up for a live cash back account. Then pay for an item using paypal, then they gave u upwards of 20% back just for using Microsoft Live search engine.
