Where do we go now to complain, rant and bloviate about our great deals?
So has the Hot Deals page hits fallen by like 95%.

Hoping this comes back soon at more that 8%. Not even the Vg-c70am gives me 25% anymore. It did just an hour ago, but not anymore.

Just wanted to thank mekas for starting this thread, hopefully this one can stay on target and be helpful. The other thread was so out of control it was hard to glean any information at all from it. Thanks Again!

Any bets on how long it'll take until this thread is in the same sorry state??
I don't understand why the "moderators" care so much if a topic stays on thread. Sometimes I wonder if Tim Storm hired 14 year olds to run these forums.

Very silly. Moderators are acting like school hall monitors and just complicating matters. The old thread was fine.

They actually remind me more of bouncers at NYC clubs or TSA screeners.

Any predictions as to exactly when MS may move up the %? And is it possible that we are missing some of the keywords that have higher %?

Plan on never. There is no incentive for them to do it. If it goes up, jump on it. If it doesn't, you missed out. Get on with life.
But seriously, learn to READ people. Asking the same question phrased 14 different ways is pure insanity.

Mekas,
I was not surprised to find that YOU were the one to continue this thread here, in Deal Discussions. You seem to have been one of the few who was able to discuss ONLY the MS CB promotion (unlike myself).
Qube, you always get a green no matter what you say ... but I get a lot of entertainment value out of the perpetual drove of insanity. it's funny, it's amusing ... and best of all it's free!
With all the people paying attention to these keywords, it seems like it would be worth it simply for companies to "sponsor" the 20% keyword. I didn't know what a T Mobile Sidekick was until I typed it in hoping for more than 8%.

Christmas is a week away so I don't expect MS to do anything wrt the eBay discount until January. There's almost nothing on eBay you could buy today that would get to you by next Thursday.

duno if this has been seen here yet: http://twitter.com/wulgaru?page=1
That dude wrote a program that scans 150 keywords and posts the highest CashBack. it has only hit 8% in the last 24 hours, and it appears that it is currently broken. He is working on it tho.
Yes the old thread was so big it was worthless, but the quick summary was excellent. For every idiot who posted a question there were probably 20 who read the summary and saved money. Locking that thread, and therefore locking the quick summary, was stupid.

Same here, a few of the "T-Mobile"s were working around an hour ago for 8%, but even those are gone now.

The "T-Mobile"s seem to be working again! I guess it just disappeared temporarily.

hmm no go for me with that one. ive refreshed many times .. arghhh
I just made a purchase using the 8% CashBack, but my web browser was still open from earlier in the day, so it may have been cached. The CashBack was in my Paypal account with in about two minutes of checking out. I knew they were approving the CashBack quicker, but I did not know it would be that quick.
Even though I only got 8%, I did notice that BIN prices on the item I purchased had fallen with the CashBack rate. So, my purchase was probably about equal to getting 15% off last week.

Got a hit for 8% using ipod - good for Cash Back at eBay! - just checked wii, and after a few refreshes, it pulls too.
Though you may not get scammed, the cards themselves were obtained illegally (stolen credit card, etc.). Essentially how it works is some kid in Asia or Europe masterminds a way to get credit card numbers. That person buys a ton of gift cards. He/she hopes that most won't get declined and they sell it in bulk to people in the U.S. Those people in the U.S. then sell it themselves for a little bit more than they bought it. You don't want to be the person stuck with the card when it goes to zero.
