Update: Looks like I didn't get screwed out of my cashback.

Not sure if I should try it again. 2 days ago I bought a widget and the cashback showed as pending after I activated my account.

Today I logged in and it asked me to enter my address and phone number again (like they had never been entered). When I entered the it now shows no activity ever.

I guess there is nothing I can do.

UPDATE: Like suggested below, it showed up again. So I used it 3 more times. The first 2 were instant (yesterday) and the last one (today) is pending for 59 more days...

This is exactly why I'm not going to use it except for something that I'd be buying anyway.

Still says pending for me. I just didn't use it again because of the 60 days delay. But it said so up-front so I can't complain about that.

Would like to know how some people are getting their money instantly though.

I made my first purchase yesterday and have $200 pending. I made a second purchase today and received a $40+ cashback immediately to my PayPal account.

I'm wondering if they've judged me as buying things for resale which is against the rules. In this case it was a 1931 MSRD cent from my father's birthyear so clearly not for resale but I used the same paypal account that I use as a seller...I'm on hold with ebay since the communication comes through them and I have a powerseller customer support number. --Jerry

Give it a couple of days and I bet it will show back up as pending..I had issues when I first signed up but every cashback transaction showed up in my account after 2 days. If not email Live.com, they were very helpful with me.

so why dont these guys pay your cashback when it's due in 60 days

why do you have to wait another 7 to claim it and pay to paypal

they should disclose 67 days......

When I log into my live.com account it tells me how many days and says it will be automatic here is the note:


<P class=content>Pending. Your cashback reward will be deposited or sent in 59 days. You won't need to request it.

The 60 days is likely MS. The 7 days is likely something with Paypal. That's probably why it is split that way and written the way it is. Just a guess.

An interesting thing along these lines: My paypal is set to ask me for approval when I get a payment from an unverified address. I had to approve the cashback into my account because Microsoft hasn't verified their address. I guess many forum members wouldn't ship to them. LOL.
