Has anyone done this? Did it work and how long did it take to get your refund?

I'm looking to buy one of the new Macbook Pros on eBay - after Apple's pathetic Black Friday sell it looks like Microsoft will give me a bigger discount on a macbook than Apple - and just wanted to see what someone's experience was.

Alright, I just did it, it works like a charm, 200 bucks back in my PayPal account within 10 minutes. For those that don't know, check out the live.com cashback program.

Obviously, there is a tiny (but ever so crucial) detail you have yet to learn. Namely, you don't know jack about computers.

I use Live cashback most of the time, BigCrumbs is also pretty good and has a lot of retailers that Live doesn't.

What I like about these is that many times you can stack these discounts with coupon codes you find at RetailMeNot and use cashback credit cards (I prefer the 2% cashback on weekends from HSBC).

On the other hand, I miss just going to the store and getting what I want. Now I have to go on line and calculate the best deal before I buy anything...
