Remember that MS has up to 60 days to issue the rebate. I'm not sure Paypal allows people to wait this long to do that.

ah. i see. you are correct.

The cashback deal is pretty sweet. I've been using it recently for gold and silver bullion. You have to really be on top of it to get a good deal since they sell within 5 to 10 minutes of listing but some good deals can be had. With 30% (now 25%) up to $200, for instance a couple purchases were 1 oz. gold eagles. I bought them for $975. Seller got more than he'd get if he sold to a dealer and with the $200 cashback I got it for well under spot (this was a few weeks ago). If I had sold to a local dealer when I received shipment I would've sold for about a $100 profit once cashback is factored in. Now with gold on a downtrend the return wouldn't be much, but I wasnt planning on selling anyway. The point is, if you want, you could trade fiat for gold, sell gold for fiat, and make a nice profit from it. With research on ebay probably about $100 a pop times 12 trades (max per account) for $1,200. Not a bad little gig if you want to or you could get some great deals on ebay as well. Also cashback doesn't only involve ebay. There are hundreds if not thousands of other stores that guive cashback ranging from 2 -15% from what I've seen. I believe Sierra Trading Post was 8% but I couldn't combine that with the 25% off email I got so I just used the 25% off email on a recent purchase.

Has anyone actually received the rebates yet?
Can you stack an ebay 10% coupon?

I've been receiving my rebates, from both eBay and other stores, without problems. The only problem is, the money gets sent back to my Paypal account, and usually spent within 24hrs.

No, I don't think you can stack. Never hurts to try, though.

I got a few hundred back from eBay purchases last time as well as from J&R.com and a vitamin store. You can stack, lots of people are doing it. My wife stacked a 10% with 35% last time. She hardly ever buys on eBay (few textbooks) and got a coupon. I buy regularly and got nothing.

I've never been able to because Paypal has never sent me a coupon. Assholes!

i had the icon appear for 25% today. i bought something and was told i would get a message in my box about the cash back. said message arrived and i clicked on the link. but when i look in my account, it didn't confirm that everything is ok, it just says "0".

I've been very conscious of this, and have always boggled a bit when someone talks about using the discount on, say, a $25 item. But I'll probably end up with a bunch unused when the promotion abruptly ends. So at least you got to put all of them to good use.

Heh, I bought a bunch of cameras, lenses, a printer, 13"x19" photo paper, and ink. Should tide me over for a few months
