Microsoft offers 25pc eBay Cashback rebate
Published: 10 Nov 2008 13:35 GMT
Microsoft is getting more aggressive with Live Search Cashback, a programme that offers price cuts for people who buy products found with the company's search engine, touting a 25 percent rebate for items purchased through eBay.
eBay has long been a Cashback partner, but the company promoted the deal on its Live Search blog on Thursday. Kok Waii Wong, Microsoft's group product manager for Live Search, announced the 25 percent eBay rebate on the blog. There are some conditions, however, including a $200 (£125) cashback limit and payment through PayPal only. It's offered only in the US.
That rebate rate is significantly higher than the rebate from most stores, though a few come close, such as Footlocker.com with a 20 percent rebate.
Microsoft also offers a programme called SearchPerks that awards points for searching; points later can be redeemed for prizes. The programs are part of its effort to bring more attention to its search engine and compete against Google and Yahoo.
