Can someone tell me what I'm doing incorrectly? I clicked on the Overstock banner in Bing ... but I'm showing 12%CB not 20%. Where do I put in the key word? In the search box? That's what I've been trying. Appreciate any help as I need a high end item I've been watching.

12% is correct, that is the amount listed in the OP, not sure where you're getting the 20% amount from unless you looked at the wrong line.

Been waiting for close to 2 weeks for CB from Vision Direct myself. Very hard to contact bing as well since their contact form has been down for a while.....
I love to see these side by side Cash Back comparisons between Fatwallet and Bing. It just shows how much Fatwallet has made from this site over the years.

not necessarily schuman,
it could very well be that bing is kicking in some of their own dough to finance this and/or they've negotiated a different tier level than Fat Wallet.
let's face it, Microsoft has alot more clout/money than Fat Wallet Inc. But I'd still urge folks to support FW where possible even it means a little less Cash Back from time to time. we all benefit greatly from these boards, something bing certainly doesn't offer us.

If you are buying a high ticket item. I would do a Bing search for all stores in which sells the item you are looking for, plus do a search for the actual item.
Example: Store Seach: Overstock - will return only Overstock.com Item Search: Rolex Watch - will return everyone who sells Rolex watches and their Bing CashBack % reward
Remember to click on the link with the Bing CashBack icon.
If you are still having trouble ask for help on the forum. There are many good people @ Fatwallet who will help you out!
Goodluck!

Tape,
Try going to bing.com/CashBack log on to your CashBack account, and on the left side menu click contact us. Select the best question that is close to your problem, and they will respond quickly. They solved my problem fast. I was very surprised at how fast and courteous they were.
Also make sure under settings in your account that all info is correct, and if you chose payment by PayPal that your correct PayPal email address is in the Reward Method tab in Settings.
for feebay, is there still a cap on how many transactions you can do if you use a keyword?
bah, here's the answer: The Microsoft Bing CashBack Program provides CashBack for up to 20 qualifying purchases per account on www.eBay.com. The amount of CashBack will be determined by eBay, specified at the time of checkout on the "purchase review page" and equal to a percentage of the sale price (excluding shipping and handling fees, insurance fees and other such fees) ("CashBack Rewards"). The maximum amount of CashBack Rewards per qualifying purchase is $200.00 USD. In addition, all CashBack Rewards (including CashBack Rewards earned in connection with purchases made on websites other than www.eBay.com) are subject to the annual $2,500.00 per person cap set forth in the Program Terms.

limit 20 lifetime transactions per eBay acc't, not sure on cap but believe it's $200 per transaction.

I am not here to start a fight. I really appreciate your contribution MC. I would like to share my personal experience with bing.This is my first order throught bing. I placed an order on 8/31 throught bing CashBack. I got my order on 9/3. I contacted bing last week throught my CashBack account. I haven't get anything back from them so far. I will contact them again. I didn't expect I will get bing cash for sure. If they honor CashBack, it is plus for shopping online. If not, it is OK, I learned my lesson. Still cheaper than order from eye doctor's office.

You'll get your Bing CashBack, just follow up on it. Keep contacting them and check your settings in your Bing account to make sure all your contact info is correct. Also, I think there is a 60 day hold on the money and you must be owed at least $5.00 until CashBack is rewarded.

limit 20 lifetime transactions per eBay acc't, not sure on cap but believe it's $200 per transaction. I guess I should stop doing this dirt cheap eBayCashBack stuff. I did like six of these in the last month. Better to save for big purchases.

To be fair, FatWallet earns all of their income from affiliate revenue, so they need to take a percentage to keep the site running.
Microsoft DOES NOT need affiliate revenue, they are using Bing CashBack as a loss leader to try to increase traffic to their search engine. Microsoft has publicly acknowledged that for the time being they are giving back 100% of all affiliate revenue back to the customer as CashBack. Additionally, when they had double CashBack last month, they funded that entirely on their own - effectively paying people to use CashBack.
No business in the world could possibly sustain that sort of business model forever, so faulting FatWallet for not giving away free money isn't really fair.
That being said, I will happily take all of the free money that Microsoft wants to give me for as long as they would like to.

agreed, but recently FW have stopped honoring a lot of the CashBack i've been earning the same exact way as i have the last few years. i complained dozens of times to dozens of people and they all seem to have the attitude of 'too bad'... i've stopped using them for cb and only read these posts a few times a month.

Hang in there!
I'll second Sweetowl's comments. I have had problems with using their contact form and have had to submit more than once when I didn't get a reply in a couple of days. Otherwise, I've gotten quick and helpful responses.
myhotrs said: If I go through the Shampoo search, Drugstore.com shows 25% Cash Back, if I type in giftcard in Bing shopping, the link to Drugstore.com shows 10%.
Anyone done this? What happens when we buy giftcards through Drugstore.com?
I tried searching, but other than some old stuff, didnt see anything relevant.
You will get the 25% off any purchase, regardless of the keyword that you clicked.
That's the point of this thread, to find the right keywords to get the highest possible percentage off your purchase.

Abe's of Maine5.50% "yamaha rx v765" (searching just "audio receivers" gives you only 2.50% CB)
I still prefer FW CashBack for its clarity, though uuuggghhhh .... only if I you had posted this yesterday when they had the deal out for the SD cards !!
