[DEAD!] Live.com now shows 40%, though clicking on the link takes me to "Page Not Available".

deepakaaa: Microsoft servers had a BUG where the 40% message was still being given out (with less frequency) after 7 PM but without CAPTCHA. People in this group have uphill task with Microsoft since they dont have any TRANSACTION ID reference. I plan on giving the screenshot. Lets see..

Banner doesn't specify Cash Back percentage now. what a scam.

Thanks neo2299. Great post. Hopefully they won't jack the price up.


   posted: Nov. 27, 2008 @ 1:39p

This will be nice, with the current prices. I couldn't get in the other day for the laptops, hopefully tomorrow will be the day, from the comfort of home. Let's see!!


   posted: Nov. 27, 2008 @ 1:41p

good thing i didn't pull the trigger yesterday at 25% CashBack on an earlier deal.. hopefully worth my patience.


   posted: Nov. 27, 2008 @ 1:44p

let's hope they don't eliminate the instant rebates or raise the prices!


   posted: Nov. 27, 2008 @ 1:45p

Wallet is getting lighter by the minute Hate to be stand in line for the BB deal. Hope to snag a decent lappy here instead...

Thanks, OP!

I've been eyeing the HP Mini 1000 Netbook. It would be great if I could get 40% CB.


   posted: Nov. 27, 2008 @ 1:51p

Any good deals on an Ultra portable laptop?


   posted: Nov. 27, 2008 @ 1:51p

Thanks!


   posted: Nov. 27, 2008 @ 1:52p

I picked up the Mini with the 25% off. Its was a hot deal at that price. For 40%, I'm thinking about returning and a repurchase. BTW, The mini is highly recommended. Very solid performer. Just gonna have to get that 6 cell battery come Janurary.

dv5t best bang for the buck right now

is there a way to tell for sure that your getting the live Cash Back discount? I went to HP's site through the live link for 25% back and it never at any time told me about my 25% discount.

*** BEWARE!!! ***

I got 5 laptops for my family from Lenovo when Live.com did the 30% CashBack on them. I had $1000 CashBack clear and I requested the payment. A week later MS CashBack team emails me saying my CashBack has been denied because they think I purchased for business use! I have sent 12 emails to them over the past 2 months asking HOW they came to that conclusion. They refuse to respond and completely ignore me! I have told them they were all for family use and I can prove that as we all still have them. They owe me $1000 and they are not talking!

I finally got a response from Microsoft when I emailed the CEO twice about my problem. They said they are forwarding my case to the CashBack team and I will get a reply in 1 business day... That was 4 days ago. No reply.

I am preparing to take them to court now. Lesson learned: eBay CashBack seems to work with Live.com but DONT TRUST any other retailers! Live.com will deny them if its costing them too much! I sure wish I could take part in this HP deal but I am not risking it when they already owe me $1000 and won't even talk to me about it!

I'd say you fellas should just not be greedy with this, or you might have a problem.


   posted: Nov. 27, 2008 @ 2:20p

is there a Cash Back limit? if i buy a $2000 computer, can i really get back $800?

You need to have an account with Live.com and about 10 minutes after you place your order you will get an email from Live.com saying you received $XX.XX from your HP purchase on mm/dd/yyyy. However the transaction will be listed as pending for 60 days before they let you know the cash is available for payment, then you can your CashBack .
