There are many ways to save money: mail-in-rebate, limited time offer, natural discount, free-shipping, tax-free, promotional code, and cashback.
My favorites are tax-free (through third-party Amazon seller) and promotional codes because I can get a good amount of discount instantly without being tricked by the seller. I hate to see discount in a form of mail-in-rebate or cashback because it usually takes good amount of effort and time to get cash back to me. Free-shipping is just another way to say price of the product includes the shipping cost. Of course, tax-free item has it’s own disadvantage as you have to deal with third-party stores and promotional codes are not always useful.
Bing Cashback is a cashback program hosted by Microsoft through it’s new search engine Bing. How it works is very simple and you can track all of your cashback account in a single Windows Live account. Let me explain how Bing Cashback is a new way to save your money.
Simple
It is very simple to use Bing Cashback. Just open http://www.bing.com/ and search the name of the company that sell the product you want.
Now, click the “Bing cashback” button that you see on the right upper corner of the ALL RESULTS shown above. You will see the pop-up box telling you that you can save X% of money by purchasing T-mobile’s product through Bing. You can join the program and it will take you to T-mobile website. Although the Bing cashback pop up will disappear, it will keep track of your purchase at T-mobile and send you a confirmation email.
Cheap
As you can see on the picture above, you can save 35% on any cell phone you purchase through Bing cashback. This is a huge discount considering that there is no other way to save this much on T-mobile product. It is usually hard to save money on stores like T-mobile because they only offer mail-in-rebate that takes as long as 3 months to process.
Fast
If you have a paypal account, you can join ‘quick cashback program’ to receive a cashback the moment you purchase the product without having to wait 60-day period. This is a great deal because you can buy a product as if it’s already discounted.
Conclusion
Although not all deals that can be found through Bing are best, you can definitely benefit from their program if you can find a exclusive corporate offered discount just like the one at T-mobile.
