| Microsoft Live Search Cashback
Microsoft has apparently found a "solution" for "competing" with Google. Quote:
Call it desperate measures or whatever, but no matter how you would look at it, this new program is simply humiliating. Maybe, it’s just he old fashioned me who has high regard for the search engine industry, and the three major search engines that have been monopolizing it. Hence, I could not really understand why Microsoft would resort to such measures to gain some mileage against its competitor. It’s simply amateurish.

| FAKE~ MS is just playing with customers!
Is not only me, but many people are being deceived by Microsoft "to good to be true" program.
After microsoft gets you to buy something using its services this is what you'll get when trying to sign up to your account:
"Open Your Account
Unable to complete your request
We cannot complete your request now, please try again later.
Message 8103"
I have contacted their customer service in numerous times, just to get emails saying that someone is going to get back to me btw 24-72 hours, same results with the chat customer service, and guess what it's been 5 weeks and no one has been able to tell me what "Message 8103" even means! |

Hmm, I haven't heard about any issues. I've seen loads of people that have used the service just fine without issues. Perhaps it would help to know which site you made your purchase from

I have been trying to get a situation resolved with them for 2 weeks now. Initially they got back to me and said that they would look into it, but now I get no response back at all. They owe me $592.50. I'm beginning to assume that it's a giant scam. |

I think the situation is finally resolved. No one ever got back to me, however I finally show money pending in my account after 2 weeks. |

they stole the idea from sites such as rewardlover and fatwallet. I tend to stick with the cashback sites. |
