This is quoted from the fatwallet forums. Bing.com is a microsoft entity (formerly live, live cashback). Please note that as a cashback service, there is a delay between when your money is processed and can actually be "cashed out." It is not instant. Quoted text below:


AT&T has 35% CashBack on any new phone you buy online via Bing.
Since you can pre-order the new iPhone 3GS (16GB) for $199, get $35% off. Total is $129.35 after CB! Free shipping too!

CashBack does not work on upgrades and only works on new lines of service.
CashBack TOS said:Upgrades, add-a-lines and GoPhone (prepaid) service are not eligible for the CashBack program.

Bing Cashback Search

Also you can get:
iPhone 3GS 32GB - $299 ($194.35 with CB)
iPhone 3G 8GB - $99 ($65 with CB)
iPhone 3G 16GB - $149 ($97.5 with CB)
iPhone 3G 8GB (Refurb) - $79 ($51.35 with CB)
iPhone 3G 16GB (Refurb) - $129 (83.85 with CB)

Color me intrigued, does anyone have experience with the cashback program?

Thought about using it for ebay a few times but it only worked there for buy it now stuff. Why would Microsoft give you $100 cashback to get an iphone?

I have used live cashback for both ebay and buy.com with success in the past. It's legit.

The reason microsoft does this is because of 1) partner reimbursements and 2) they want the popularity of their search engine to rise to rival google. That's why they've relaunched it as bing.
 
ive used cashback..it works great..this is a superb deal for anyone who is activating a new line..im thinking of how i could possibly get in on this
 
Cashback is a great system, and this is a great deal. I would recommend anybody that wants an iPhone and wants to join ATT to do this. You really cant go wrong with this deal. I have saved a lot of money because of Cashback...I think like $400 total in the past year.
 
I have used the Live.com cashback in the past.

I did this yesterday and ordered a 16 GB iPhone. It works. There's a two month delay before you get the check though.
 
See what you did, you made my iphone purchase even more difficult :p

3g 16gb refurb for 83 is especially sweet, although 32gb 3gs for 194 is less than the 16gb in store I was planning on getting...

Wonder if colorware can do a matt black color x_X
 
bing.com's cashback link leads me to ebay. Is this right?


Use this link: Bing Cashback Search

Then,

Do you think I can cancel my order I placed on Monday night and go through Cashback without a problem?

I will be a new ATT customer.

Edit: I ordered through the Apple store and canceled my order. Just did the Cashback program and it appears it went through. Crossing fingers...
 
works. its the first link that shows up.
also try searching ATT WIRELESS if the link doesnt work for you
 
Well that figures. I literally a couple of hours ago ordered mine from the AT&T Premier site and paid $250 for it after taxes.

Now I see this, and according to someone above, I cannot cancel my order with AT&T.

C'est la vie, I guess :rolleyes:
 
haha. All you guys hating on Microsoft now wish you weren't! lol. I guess you get what you deserve.
 
Arrrrrrg... still can't open the page.

"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"

What could be wrong on my side....
 
I haven't been able to set this up for an in-store pickup. Does this only work for ordering online for shipment?
