BEWARE - Microsoft Cashback May not pay you!

Finnaly recieved my Microsoft Cashback today, ok it was only $89... well an hour later I recieve another notification that the money has been taken back because "the transaction was reported as item returned". I completed the transaction back in July for a tube of silver dollars, nothing was returned and I checked with the seller, nothing was reported as returned.

It's only $89 but it's the principle. If Microsoft wants to encourage use of it's Live search engine then they need to ensure that they pay up. I have read of other simmilar problems on these Boards and am sorry to say that I appear to be the latest victim and as such will not be using the Cashback program. Maybe I am an exception, but it appears there are no guarantees. Others BEWARE!

    Terms of Service always take precedence when claiming the victim role. I wanted to sue Microsoft when they ended chat. I was just starting to fall in love with sixty three women.

    Reading on some other boards, there are all sorts of errors and glitches within the last week with the cashback program.

    Just this afternoon I received email notification that 2 of my cashback items were reported as cancelled or returned. Only 2 problems:

    1. I still have the items in question; no returns here.

    2. My cashback for these two items was sent to me by PayPal weeks ago.

    Some people are reporting getting this email for items they haven't even received yet (purchased within the last few days).

    I filed a support ticket... we'll see what they come back with. Luckily I don't have any other pending cashback purchases... on that account. image

    I got a e-mail this morning saying I earned cashback. I didnt think I had anything for the amount and date it said so checked on my account and they had issued another cashback for a item they already paid me for.

    I check a forum with much disussion on cashback and saw many people had the same thing happen.
    Later this afternoon I got a email saying this transaction has been canceled as the transaction was reported as item returned.

    So ms realized they made a error and simply took it back.

    It sounds to me like this is what happened to you. If they took back something they did not already pay let them know.

    Here is a place with much discussion about ms cashback.

    Btw I see it is back up to 30% I searched for pcgs.

    So did any of you have your cash taken back?

    I received an erroneous message this morning about getting cashback for a transaction I didn't make.

    Later today I got a message about the cashback getting cancelled because the item was returned. My cashback account is not showing any trace this transaction.

    Well, I;ve only used it once but in another couple of months I'll let you know what happened.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    I didnt. So far I have used cashback on eBay 5 times. I have been paid for 3 of them so far with 2 still in the 60 day waiting period.

    Probably would have been better if they made a new email to explain there was a system error that gave a cachback credit where none was due rather than sending out a pre-made cashback was canceled due to returned item email.
  • so it's back to up 30? i'm still seeing 20

    Try searching for wii
  • That's what did it for me. I couldn't get it to show up, but then they said search for Nintendo Wii and it popped right up and seemed to work. Now we'll see if I actually get the cash back!
