Unfortunately for many customers they have not been reliable in honoring the cashback requests. Please read more about this at http://digg.com/d1wcdx – When presented with the screenshots and evidence from customers at this Get Satisfaction link, the initial response from Bing Cashback has been to stay silent. With only a few customers posting there so far, this is a good strategy for them if they expect this to go unnoticed. Negative experiences please post your Bing Cashback ticket number so they can help you if they so choose. Positive experiences please post so that it can be documented they have already honored this in some cases, and should do the same for the rest of us. By posting your experiences, you help to hold them to what was advertised and remind them to deal with you in an honest manner in the future. Thank you for your help with this.

You must either not follow the news or as just another insufferable iBoi.

Bing has been a real surprise even though I still us google. Image and Video searching they’ve got Google beat but are lacking on their new aggregation

Does not apply to upgrades! So existing iPhone owners are SOL!

Went through the step by step process and I am not seeing the discount. I do already get a 15% discount on the monthly fee from the company I work for so this may be interfering with the bing discount.

This is the most funny statement …. shows you never paid any attention to maths/statistics in school. Let me help you :
1) Check out what is the estimate no. of search users in the world
2) Calaculate 12 % of it … you will get a number
3) Compare the number in calculate in (2) with the total no. of employees microsoft has, which is less than 100,000.
4) Result …. you will be surprised how many people use bing.

It is better to keep your mouth and let others guess you are a fool rather than opening it and confirming that you indeed are.

I am not a fan of either bing, google or yahoo and will use whatever works best for me. For last two weeks, I have been using bing for travel and shopping and it rocks!! for the rest I am using a mix of google and yahoo.

Sounds like a clever attempt to make iPhone 3gs buyers want to return their purchase and try to go for this discount . That will cause headaches to apple and AT&T and put a smile on Ballmer (CEO of Microsoft)

I agree with JW, go with what works. That’s why I left viruses, adware, spyware, etc in the rearview mirror and bought a Mac. And like Bing it Works!.

I also made the switch to Bing and the reason is that it actually is a good product. Loyalty is for college football teams; when a better search comes along, loyalty has nothing to do with staying with or switching to another vendor.

Simply go with what works for you.

I find the only users and pumpers of Bing are MSFT employees.

Yeah that’s a pretty stupidly snarky intro to this article. Bing is making fairly decent inroads into a Google dominated market. There have been lots of articles online about it, you might want to read a couple before commenting next time.

Either way a good idea, just could have used a little less propaganda.

DOES NOT WORK!!

Actually, I now use Bing as my primary search engine. I must admit that I’ve tried to move off of Google several times. This is the first time I’ve actually gone more than a couple of days before giving up (tried Live, Ask, Yahoo — all just were pretty sucky). I’ve actually gone about 3 days without a single Google query, much less having to do a lot of queries on Google.

So far, Bing has impressed me. Is it much better than Google… not searchwise, but the presentation of data, especially for sports.

Seriously? Bing ranks higher on Alexa than intomobile.com (105 to 4000+). How about writing about something you really have the facts on?

I used Bing for this particular search, I think it’s just Live Search. The design is totally similar. I’d use it more if there was a discount for O2. Wouldn’t you?

Tried this but instead of the Bing Premiere store I get signed into a different corporate premiere store. Don’t think I want to proceed, or if I am able to to get the discount.
