Bing Offers Different Percentage Cashbacks Depending on How You Search

Hello everyone.  Hope your Christmas plans are coming together smoothly.  There has been some confusion in regards to the percentages cashback websites are offering.

First of all, cashback offers vary depending on whether you choose Bing, Ebates, FatWallet, MrRebates, or any other cashback site.  The offers also change regularly, sometimes daily.  Bing has been giving out some of the highest cashback offers, but they are not always the easiest to find.  Many people have contacted me about how to find the 20% cashback offer for Drugstore.com.  Some people were finding 8% or 10% depending on the day they checked, but when I would check I would get 20%.  So I did some investigating and figured out why the percentages are different.

When you go to Bing’s main shopping link the percentages may be different from other offers.  If you search for Drugstore.com in the search box you will see offers varying from 2-15%.  The most common way people search is to click on the cashback tab which allows you to search for stores by their first letter.  This page shows Drugstore.com at 10%.

The “trick” is to first go to Bing.com, which will take you to their search page.   Then enter the site you want to shop with the words “cashback” into the search box.  For ex. enter the search “drugstore.com cashback“.  You will then see a sponsored link at the top for Drugstore.com that show’s the amount of 20% cashback.   There will also be a gold coin that is the symbol for Bing cashback.    The important things to look for in the link are the amount of the cashback and the gold coin.  Go ahead and click on that link and then a prompt for your login will pop up unless you’re already signed in.  Then a loading page will pop up from Bing.  On this page it will tell you the percentage cashback you will receive from that store.  It will directly open the store’s page and now you are ready to shop.

The link you want should include:

www.drugstore.comBing cashback

In regards to finding the best cashback percentage for other stores on Bing, do the same search as above (name of store  cashback) on Bing.com.

For all other cashback sites, JGI (Just Google It).

If you don’t want to look through each cashback site for the best deal, your best option would be to do a search with options.  Go to Google.com and search the desired store with the word cashback.  You will get a lot of irrelevant links.  To remedy this problem, click on “ Show Options” which will be at the top left corner of the search page.  Under the “Anytime” column choose “Latest”.  This will bring up the most current information that has been posted on the web.

Drugstore.com also has a 5% in house rebate that automatically applies to your order.  So the total you can save is 25%.  Use of coupon codes may disqualify you from receiving the Bing cashback offer.

Some stores are still offering free shipping until 12/20.

Hope that answers some of the questions.  Feel free to contact me if you have any further questions.
