    It would be good and bad, tbh. The good being that I get a bunch of stuff I want, the bad being saying goodbye to all of my money until I get Fall semester's leftovers.

    You have to spend wisely ;). I'm going to buy items that I actually need - not want. Such as Home Depot gift cards, my parents are remodeling our house and they will come in handy.

    what? where did you get 15%, ebay is only using 10% and if you add ANY coupon on ebays website your cashback is forfeited, it says that in the TOS.

    Another post mentioned it will be 15%, I haven't checked for myself. The eBay Bucks is not a coupon, but a program eBay is running. There's is no way I can opt out of it for a certain purchase.

    i dont know, i know that ebay will forfiet your cashback if you use coupons but i dont know about zip

    Good time to buy SSDs from Zip ;) OCZ has rebates on a lot of their drives, plus the cashback beings the 30GB Vertex below $100 for example.

    Newegg's 10% was only for a few hours. It is back down to its normal 2%. eBay has said 10% for all day but Bing is still saying it is supposed to be 15%. Maybe it will fix during checkout...

    1. ASUS G51Vx-X1A
    2. Crysis maximum edition
    3. gears 2 special edition
    4. saints row 2 special
    5. xbox live 12month messenger pack
    6. hanns-g 21.5" monitor
    7. samsung 42" plasma
    8. samsung 50" 6 series plasma

    ahh dam i thought it was too good to be true to get that much money back...lol but i think i mite buy the A1 from zipzoomfly for 1211USD, cheaper and better so the actual overall for all the newegg items comes out toaround 2500 USD so 200bucks saving is still good.


    EDIT:
    ahh really? so still i can get around 250-280USD cashback?

    can someone tell me if i did it right...

    so on zipzoomfly, i bought a laptop. i searched first at zipzoomfly on bing.com/shopping and i clicked on the link that offered cashback. it had the 4%-20% loading screen and i searched for a laptop and bought the msi laptop which is http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=10010498
    i went through to checking and paid with credit card but the cashback thing isnt showing on my bing.com account. did i do it right?

    >_< There's a misconception here! The $200 cap is for eBay!! It states that in eBay's cashback terms.

    Bing's terms clearly state that you can meet the $2,500 annual cap with just one purchase. Unless a site's specific cashback terms state otherwise, I don't believe there is a cap other than the $2,500.

    does it start now or are they going to announce when it starts. I feel sorry for all the people who rushed to buy things at the 5% cashback just to find that in a few hours it would become 6% HA HA. Newegg is such a newb

    If you search for these key words on ebay:
    They are supposed to be at 12% cashback:
    (You search for it on bing. There should be a link on top of the page for eBay with cashback. Click on the link and search for whatever item you want to purchase on eBay)
    *Make sure you're logged in before going to ebay. That way you'll see the cashback if you're checking out with a BIN. http://www.cashbackr.com/

    LCD TV=12%CB
    Camera=12%CB
    Dolls=12% CB
    Silver Eagle Roll = 12% cashback
    Gold Eagle = 12% CB
    Golf Club = 12% CB
    sony playstation 3 = 12% CB
    antique bowls = 12% CB
    canon lens = 12% CB
    Silver = 12%
    wii = 12%
    iphone = 12%

    Any search term that gives an eBay link will be 12%. That's just what eBay's cashback is at the moment.

    Cin's post makes it seem like those are some specific terms that would give 12%.

    But yeah, there are tons and tons of terms that give an eBay link. video card, hard drive, cell phone, cooling pad, cpu, phenom, and so on.

    It wasn't like that all the time. In the past few months, only specific key words would enable the cashback promotion.
