Bing Cashback Tutorial (Example: How to get a Medela breastpump for 25% off)
Online coupon codes almost always exclude the Medela brand, it is very difficult to purchase Medela from a reputable source at a discount. One way around retail price is to use Bing.com cashback. Gap sells the Medela pumps at retail price, just like most other online retailers. From time to time, Gap offers 25% cashback through Bing.com search. So if you purchase the Medela breast pump through Gap, you can get a 25% cash rebate. Do not use other coupons in the same Gap order, using coupons will risk invalidating the Bing cashback (though some have reported getting cashback even using coupon, this is risky for a big purchase where you are counting on the 25% cashback)
Here is a step-by-step tutorial for Bing Cashback novices:
- Sign up here if you don't already have a Windows Live account (ie, hotmail.com, msn.com, live.com email addresses)
- Go to Bing.com search homepage or Bing.com cashback homepage
- Sign in with your Windows Live account using link on upper right corner of page
- Search for the "gap cashback" (or other keywords listed in the store specific information in the appendix of this tutorial)
- Make sure you see the 25% cashback ad and click on "Bing Cashback" link next to it. Sometimes is it at the top of the search page, sometimes it is on the right sidebar (see screen capture picture below)
- Once you click on the Bing Cashback link, you'll see the Bing Cashback popup, then you'll be taken to the Gap homepage
- Congratulations, you will now get 25% cashback on your entire order. To find the Medela breastpumps, click on "Nursery & Gear," then on the left menu under "Gear" click "Travel Accessories"
- Your Gap order email address does not need to match your Microsoft Live email address
- Within about 2-3 days of your order, you should see your order appear on Bing Cashback Account as "pending" with an estimated waiting time (usually 60-90 days). This is to ensure that you don't cash out then cancel or return the order
