    Hey everyone,

    I've been trying to figure out how to apply the bing cashbacks to the HP site. The bing site says that hp.com is a 15% off vendor (even a featured vendor), and of course I link through bing so HP picks up my email/account as I access the site. But after I configure everything, ready to place the order, I don't see the 15% discount applying itself anywhere.

    Does anyone with experience doing this mind telling me what I am doing wrong exactly?

    What I did:
    a) Signed into bing
    b) Saw the hp.com featured vendor link with the $ logo.
    c) Used the link to go to hp.com, and hp.com accessed the email address as I started the webpage.
    d) configured a laptop
    e) proceeded to checkout

    Nowhere in this process, up to inserting my CC information did it try to apply the discount. I didn't enter any CC indo in because I wanted to make sure I wasn't getting hosed.

    Thanks for your guys' help.

    The HP site doesn't give any indication the Bing CB is applied. I did what you did, put in my CC info, and after a few minutes I received an e-mail from bing telling me I had cashback. Showed up in my cashback account 10 minutes later.

    yes that's how it works, on any site the cash back won't be applied instantly, it would be seen after sometime on your bing account when you actually make the purchase

    Okay, that's great to hear. Is the Bing Cashback stackable? Like right now there's a promo for -$250 stackable with instant rebate for computers over $1,199.

    I had a DV6 configured for $1,203.99 - $150.00 instant rebate - $250.00 coupon code = $803.99

    Will the Bing Cashback be stackable with that, giving me $120 off of that making the computer $680?

    I don't know if they will give it to you after the 60 days, but initially it does show up in your bing cashback account as pending. If they decide to follow their rules, they won't give you the cashback because according to the terms of Bing cashback, you can't collect cashback if you use a coupon. I've heard people still get the cashback even after coupons though, so it's basically a crapshoot.
