    Anyone buy something using Bing cash back and later return it? What happens to the money from Bing?

    I'm looking to buy some items online getting Bing 30% cash back and plan on purchasing more than I need and returning the rest because it's free returns. Will the Bing cash back get removed immediately or do you get to keep it?

    Google isn't much help, some say eBay takes money back instantly, another says Sears, Kohls, and a few others don't.

    I'm not really looking to scam but would be cool if they don't always take it back.

    Thanks!

    1) This sounds like fraud.

    2) Bing has been known to take away the cashback for the entire order, and not simply for the amount returned.

    3) Do not recommend you try it.

    I plan on buying a few pairs of running shoes and returning the ones that don't fit because the website offers free returns. That's all I really plan on taking advantage of, I'm just curious if Bing follows returns too or not I've never used it before.

    with bing cashback, some are instant deposits, although most orders you'll have to wait 60 days before being able to request your cash back into your account. most likely this website will request the 60 day hold for returns like this. this is to take into account for people who return items.

    actually you will not get it for about 70+ days normally. after the 60 days or on the 61st day you can request it then it usually another 3-7 days for it to hit your paypal then another few days to withdraw it from paypal.. .

    the only transactions i have ever seen that were instant were ebay ones and i have used bing A LOT. between me the wife, sister, mom, mil.... etc we have 6 accounts... all almost maxxed out
