I know this isn't a "hot" deal, but I thought it should be posted here to let everyone looking for the best price to know. I received this email a few minutes ago. It was good while it lasted.

"Bing cashback

Dear valued cashback customer:

The party's over....

Gray Wolf · 06-04-2010, 11:31 PM

its sad but not so surprising, a lot of stores have been pulling out of lately too (Wal-Mart, Best Buy, etc.)

atsbill123 · 06-04-2010, 11:33 PM

That really sucks!

aj slick · 06-04-2010, 11:35 PM

The party was over when the 30% was done. Oh well, I only use Bing for cashback anyways and use Google for my search engine. I used up my 40 cashbacks for the year as well. All thats left are my Ebay bucks- 2%

Bummer, was good while it lasted.

Crimson King · 06-04-2010, 11:58 PM

I wonder if Ebates cashback will be the next to go bye-bye?!

DeadDog · 06-05-2010, 12:18 AM

I just got the same email. It was good while it lasted.

STARSCREAM · 06-05-2010, 12:21 AM

Awwww.

I knew it would end eventually, it was good while it lasted and at some points it was great (20-30% off!).

Snowmaker · 06-05-2010, 12:29 AM

So what happens if we have less than $5 in there at the end?

I read somewhere that they'll waive the $5 minimum for cashing out.

Neurotripsick · 06-05-2010, 12:38 AM

So what happens if we have cashback pending?

One less thing to factor when watching for Black Friday sales! WooHoo!

Actually, Bing cash back is one of the reasons I purchased my laptop. Couldn't have lasted forever.

The best deals were when eBay had some crazy cashback amounts.
