Bing Cashback Huge for AT&T?

by Brian Smith, on June 15th, 2009

Say what you want about Bing, but Bing Cashback (or is it Bing Shopping?) has been getting a good amount of buzz the last couple weeks. Why? In part because of a cashback offer from the AT&T Store. AT&T is offering a pretty incredible 35% cashback offer. This is the richest cashback offer I’ve seen on Cashback. Add to that the launch of the new iPhone, which you can pre-order through AT&T, and at least the twitterverse has been abuzz over Bing Cashback.

I’m still waiting to hear back from some companies like Converseon that monitor ‘conversations’ on the web, but this offer seems to be attracting a lot of attention on twitter and deal sites. Out of the other Bing Cashback advertisers who have a good offer (HP, eBay, Backcountry, etc.), only eBay seems to be generating as much buzz according to Google Trends:

[...] the lower quality of Bing in Europe compared to the US. In US, intense marketing efforts (tv ads, important cashback offers)  seem to already have positive impacts on the market share of Bing vs Windows Live. [...]

Unfortunately for many customers they have not been reliable in honoring the cashback requests. Please read more about this at http://digg.com/d1wcdx – When presented with the screenshots and evidence from customers at this Get Satisfaction link, the initial response from Bing Cashback has been to stay silent. With only a few customers posting there so far, this is a good strategy for them if they expect this to go unnoticed. Negative experiences please post your Bing Cashback ticket number so they can help you if they so choose. Positive experiences please post so that it can be documented they have already honored this in some cases, and should do the same for the rest of us. By posting your experiences, you help to hold them to what was advertised and remind them to deal with you in an honest manner in the future. Thank you for your help with this.
