Comments on: Waiting for Cashback is like waiting for rebate checks http://www.makeyougohmm.com/20080522/5147/ Technology, music, video, art, news, reviews and muse on the web Thu, 04 Dec 2008 01:34:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: dan http://www.makeyougohmm.com/20080522/5147/#comment-796464 dan Sun, 10 Aug 2008 20:40:33 +0000 http://www.makeyougohmm.com/20080522/5147/#comment-796464 This is a good article. While waiting for cash back is a painful process, it is worth it sometimes. For example, when I recently bought my new Thinkpad T61 laptop from eBay with a 25% cash back from Microsoft, I have saved for more than $200! Although I have to wait for 60 days redeem it, I still think it is a good deal. Another example, I got a $75 cash back when I ordered my Dish Network subscription through DealDigs.com(a new cash back website, I found it through google). I have been using cash back for 5 to 6 years, and have saved several hundreds of bucks. The key point here is that I still need to buy/order these products and services even there are no cash back. So, when we can get some fREE money,why not? This is a good article. While waiting for cash back is a painful process, it is worth it sometimes.

I'm unlikely to go out of my way to use the cashback "service." I'm probably the wrong market. I still think, though, that partnering with the credit card companies or shipping companies--or some similar approach--is more interesting to me as a consumer. There are just so many price come-ons that never pan out, that I'm not persuaded. Doesn't mean that I won't pass along the info to others who I know are shopping online and eager to look for the best "deal." You have me pegged.
