    Well I guess it's just enough to cover the tax charge in CA. Our Tax went up over 12% in one year.....

    It means that Newegg will be increasing their Bing Cashback allotment to 10% on 11/25.

    It gives you more money back into your Bing Cashback Account after purchases! :)

    Here is information on Bing:

    How Bing Cashback Works

    1.Search
    for cashback deals using Bing. Click a cashback listing and find great deals on the product you chose.

    Your results list the cashback savings you'll receive off the store price and your bottomline price, too

    2. Shop
    Compare and sort products by the bottomline price. Click the best deal to go to the store.
    Don't worry if you don't see the cashback symbol or savings when making a purchase at a store's website. We'll email you after your purchase to confirm your cashback.
    Your first time using Bing cashback, we'll ask for your email address so we can tell you how to quickly open your free cashback account. Or you can sign up now for an account.

    3. Save
    Save each time you shop with Bing cashback. Every time you make an eligible purchase, we'll email you to confirm your Bing cashback savings.
    You can request your cashback about 60 days after your purchase (the waiting period varies by store) and with at least $5 in your cashback account.

    lol the temptation to overspend and get a ATI 5970 :D I wonder if they will even have any in stock.

    Too bad it only has 1GB of usable VRAM or it would be the perfect card, but with only 1GB its not going to do as well as it should with ultra high resolutions so that is the ultimate reason I will be saving some money for now.

    Not sure when it will end at this point...per Newegg FB and Twitter, it's just starting tomorrow at those designated times.

    I would imagine, that it will last at least thru the Holiday Sales weekend.

    And, perhaps it's also a kickoff for the Xmas holiday season, to help boost sales, as such. :)

    Yes, it is a Bing Cashback deal. That is the only way you can get 10% Cashback from Newegg, and yes you do need a Bing Account (Windows Live ID Ie..Hotmail/Live)
    Right now it's at 2% for Newegg BTW.

    Bing Shopping
    Bing FAQ
    How Bing CashBack Works

    Unless, you think it's 10% off the total purchase, that is.

    So, let me get this right. If I use the bing website to go to newegg.com at the designated time today...the banner will show 10% off?

    I'm going by this: http://twitter.com/NeweggHotDeals/status/5906736240

    That is what is posted on Neweggs Twitter account as (source), for the information for now.

    I would assume, yes ~ you would be able to use the Bing website as normal at that time.

    Waiting til then.

    Hi
    I have not used Bing cashback before but would like to take advantage of the 10% cashback this time. Had a question:

    Do I have to search the specific item that I want to buy on bing and then click on it to go to Newegg to get the cashback? OR

    Can I just search for say newegg, then click on the link and then go to Newegg to complete the purchase? Will I get cashback in this case?

    Also, can I buy multiple items using the second approach? Will I get cashback on the entire purchase?

    You can't just go to Newegg's site to get the bing discount. You should go through here. Just find Newegg in the list of stores and click on the link then purchase what you want. You need to basically go through the link I posted above for them to know that you are looking for the deal and have an account. You can buy multiple items and the cashback should work for the entire purchase.

    No, sorry there isn't...as you enter Bing's Cashback thru different portals (ie. Bing's CB portal, and BOA's Add It Up Portal). :(

    so wait.. i just placed a order and it said 10% just a minute ago. so are people only seeing 2% in their account??? right now if you click the 2% link it shows 10% when going to newegg...also i have used the bing with newegg prob 30+ times or more and i have never seen the banner on any of newegg's pages. so i dont think it matters if you see the banner

    I don't think they changed the Bing page yet..That always seems to be the last to be changed (updated), lol.
    Even though when you click on it, your getting the 10%

    It's good to know that it will work. :)

    The reason I'm asking is because back in August when MS has that double the cashback % promotion, I bought a set of speakers thrice (already returned all of them though) from ABT Electronics going through bing search engine but checking out through PayPal. All 3 times, I didn't get any cashback information show up on my bing account. :( :confused: I waited for about 3 weeks (for cashback to show up in my account) for each of the items before returning them. Therefore, I thought that using PayPal might not have worked because the checkout process brings one out of the retailer web site & back to it after payment so it doesn't qualify.... Guess I'm wrong. :eek:

    A desktop for my family, MP3 players and Ipods for Christmas presents, video games that I won't get around to playing for a month or so, a DSi, an external HDD, a new TV, and more.

    Does Bing show anything at the time of purchase? I got to Newegg using their site, signed in with my email and bought the Intel SSD, but I didn't get any notice from Bing or anything.

    You will get an e-mail from Bing. Sometimes it's instant after purchase..sometimes it takes a little while. Hang in there. It will arrive! :)

    If not w/in a few days, you can always send an e-mail to Bing with purchase information, and they are really great at followup!

    Is it over already? If you search through Bing, there is a 10% statement near the newegg link! However, after clicking on it, it does not ask you to sign up whatsoever!

    Does anybody know if you sign up with your Live-Hotmail ID at the end?
