    I know you can't use any coupons or anything but can you use the academic discount. When you click through for the bing cashback it takes you to the standard hp web page. if you log into the academic site after that does it negate the BCB?

    Using the educational discount will void BCB.

    Can you use BCB to buy gift cards at HP?

    Bing cashback is dead on July 30th.

    You cannot stack manufacturers coupons and Bing cashback.

    You cannot use Bing cashback to purchase gift cards.

    Bing will cancel, after the sale, any discounts or cashback that was applied for that violates their rules.

    Play it straight and you'll get discounts at point of sale or money back.

    Play it crooked and you will get taken to the cleaners.

    So since bing is ending july 30th...
    does that mean my order has to be in before july 30th or i must order a few weeks before july 30th to allow time for bing processing?

    Also,
    I have no experience with bing and it looks fishy.
    So you order normally after click shopping with cashback (even though the website shows normal prices).
    And AFTER you pay the normal price, bing will email you and arrange the bing rebate?
    Is this immediate or do you have to wait?

    If you did it right you will get the email from BCB within a few minutes. And I know it seems fishy, I thought the same thing when I heard of it, but I have earned $500+ from BCB.

    I just ordered my 2nd Envy using Bing and 5 min after I clicked "submit order" on HP.com I have a "pending" Bing cashback of $625 in my cashback account.

    Make sure you have a Windoes Live ID before using Bing cashback and put in the email associated with that ID in the Bing pop-up before buying.

    Make your purchase before July 30th.
    Paid in cash. By check or electronic.

    no, only products you search for via bing shopping, try it yourself.

    Everything on HP's Home website should be if you go through Bing.

    search for hp.com on bing then click the link with the coin. make sure you bing log in information is correct and then it will take you to the hp site. anything you order off the site will be 25% cashback as long as you dont apply any discounts whatsoever.

    Did you already get the BCB? Usually it will appear in your account but disappear on the 59th/60th day before you can redeem it.

    it's promoted as 7-12% depending on model, generally on the lower end of those savings though.
