    What would you do? Bing Cashback - multiple accounts?

    Ok, first I'll admit I screwed up. I didn't realize you can't have multiple bing cashback accounts, but appears you cannot, reading after the fact. I scurried to get the 30% HP Bing Cashback and couldn't login with my first account. So decided to create a new one. I only earned like $20 with my other account, and only have $1.20 pending.

    In my new account with my new HP laptop purchase I'm getting back $544. Pretty substantial. Now should I contact Bing and let them know my situation or should I just let it slide? I mean I am nowhere near the $2500 annual limit, and it was an honest mistake. Or do you think they'll take away my savings?

    My honest gut says just to go ahead and contact them. But then again, I really don't want to lose the savings on this laptop. Do you think they'll scrutinize that much?

    I'm thinking of canceling my first live ID account based on that email, which was just a live.com email address I created specifically for Bing Cashback initially anyhow. Then that one wouldn't exist any more.

    make sure you get paid out from the biggest one first and then try to get paid out from the smaller one after the check clears.
