I use it a lot - - it has been quite accurate and showing some stuff that Yahoo or Google missed.

I like it fine, especially the more complete summary without actually clicking on the site.

I am surprised no one else mentioned the cashback aspect available through bing, getting money back on stuff you are going to buy anyway seems reason enough for me, and now that they let you get it ack instantly if you just sign up for that part it is a no brainer.

I tried it once cause it said it would weed out more of the garbage your not looking for.......seems like I had as much garbage I was not looking for using it as compared to yahoo or google.

I just got $75 cash back off bing for a laptop I bought off Tiger Direct. So yeah it actually works but seems like a pain. Someone had to coach me through it.


I don't buy enough online for it to matter but that $75 off was a nice deal since I got the computer with a deep discount through Tiger Direct.

agreed setting up for the cashback can be a hassle, but for free money, worth it. did you select instant cashback as your option ?

Heck it says I'm already a member of the quick cash back program. Still took over a month to get the money back but I don't care. I just checked my paypal account and I sure enough have $75 in there, which is great because I can go buy some junk on ebay with it I guess .
