    I ordered my T61 on Dec. 19 and shipped on Dec. 29, but still have not got any confirmation about the fw cashback.

    Is there anyone that have similar experience?

    What should I do? Any tips?

    Thank you.

    When you're logged in to Fatwallet, http://www.fatwallet.com/cashback/mycashback.php
    you should see the value of your cash-back in either the "Pending Cash Back" row or the "Available Cash Back" row.

    If it appears in neither place, then you will have to contact FW directly to see if they can resolve the issue. They in turn will need to contact Lenovo, and so on, and so forth.

    In my experience, your FW cash-back shows up within a couple of days of making your purchase . So obviously something has gone seriously wrong in your case if you bought in mid December.

    It takes three months, btw, to get your cash back (once FW are aware of the transaction, of course).

    Right, you can't get FW cashback if you ordered through CPP.

    Also, FW is quite good. I joined FW in 2003. I have received more than $200 cashback. You can also have the money sent via check or PayPal.

    Yah I orderd my T61p during their first offering back in July of 07 and used EPP for my purchase. After FatWallet sent me my notification of funds available, those 88 dollars were sent to my PayPal account without issue. :)

    Can you tell me when you got FW cashback under the programs? Mine was a different but similar "insider" program and I got an email stating did not qualify for cash back. Maybe I didnt read the fine print but I was surprised. Order date was late Oct 2007. Thanks.
