Hi, yesterday I was looking for a Garmin Fenix 7 and came across an offer on Ebay from WildEarth - Garmin Fenix 7.
Not a fantastically cheap price, however I was using Edge browser and a side bar popped up with Microsoft shopping showing a $300 cashback offer. Screenshot
I bought the watch and am now waiting to see what happens with the $300 cashback offer.
Anybody else had experience with MS Cashback?
Which ones?
The 37,299 of them!
Lol. Ok.
Sign into your Microsoft Rewards account
Search Bing on Microsoft Edge and look for results with the Microsoft Cashback Shopping tags.
Shop as you normally would. Once you complete your purchase the rebate will be credited to your Rewards account. After a brief waiting period, you can transfer cashback to your PayPal.
Yes I had read the blurb too.
I was asking if nyone has ACTUAL experience with it.
how did you go ? did the $300 track ? I have the same offer and a bit wary as there is very limited info
Hey Yabba, it has not tracked yet. I raised an issue with MS Rewards, had a bit of back and forth, provided screen shots showing the $300 offer, my ebay purchase confirmation, etc. and then got this response on 25/10 after which I've heard nothing from them:

I've emailed "Luigee" a couple of times since then asking for an update but have heard nothing. I actually raised another support ticket this morning quoting all the same details and asking for an update.
I'm super happy with the watch, and $999 was a good price, but another $300 in my pocket is worth chasing!
Thanks for that, hmmm seems really dodgy, my price is higher than other stores but with $300 would be way cheaper but I don't think it's worth the risk.
It even has a $100 cashback for same item in Target so its strange that there is no info on the offers and none of the links to "track offers" work.
I also noticed it only wants to offer cashback from one seller not other sellers of the same item (that are cheaper). Ohhh and sometimes for the same item/seller it says the cashback is $200 others $300 so extra dodgy :)
The other 2 account in the family don't get these cashback offers so maybe its picking up that I am in the US or something (I checked my region and it is AU but who knows).
Anyway please post if you get an outcome. Thanks :)
Just did a quick google for MS Rewards Scam and found this page: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftedge/forum/all/…
Perhaps I shouldn't hold my breath….
yeah saw this, nothing on it and clicking "shop for deals" just reloads the page
Hello OP - did you ever get the cashback?
I just saw a cashback offer from ebay as well for $257 on a galaxy watch7.
I bit the bullet and just bought it because it was the last one in stock.
I also emailed the retailer on eBay to make sure it was OK (but not sure if they will know).
Now after reading the ms forums thread I just saw I am a little concerned!
Maybe I shouldn't have used them :(
FYI I emailed MS asking if I was eligible as there wasn't any terms linked to the actual offer and the links to the track it etc. didn't work.
They replied back saying they need to look into it, never heard back again. I suspect they just need to answer emails to meet their KPIs so don't resolve anything they give a BS response then do nothing more
Thanks for your answer @Yabadabadoo
Hmm… now I'm worried :(
Maybe I'll just ask the seller to confirm and if they can't to just cancel the order.
Did it show up in your cashback dashboard at all?
@loginid: seller wont know anything, no nothing showed up, did your show up ? Let us know how you go.
@Yabadabadoo: Nothing showed up on cashback portal yet, but have just asked seller to cancel. It's too much of a hassle. Probably won't try ms cashback again. Ya live and learn!
Nope - got nothing back - "Our techs are looking into it…"
crazy :(
Please read your emails
