Bing.com is Microsoft’s play to wrestle Internet searches out of the hands of Google.  It’s a tall task, now that “googling” is a verb, but the new search engine has a snazzy home page (compared to Google’s stark white) and a bunch of cool features. Most important among these for people looking to make more money is Bing Cashback.

It’s a simple concept and for frequent online purchasers it can add up to real money.  Just search for cashback deals using Bing, click on a Cashback listing and your results will list the cashback savings you’ll receive off the store price along with the final price to you. You can compare and sort products by the “bottomline” price. Buy from that merchant and you’re on the way to mucho dinero.

If it’s your first time using Bing cashback Microsoft will ask for your email address to open your free cashback account. Then every time you shop with Bing cashback, they’ll email you to confirm your Bing cashback savings. You can request your cashback about 60 days after your purchase (the waiting period varies by store) and with at least $5 in your cashback account.

Brian Preston, host of the Money Guy podcast and partner at Preston & Cleveland Wealth Management says ”They’re one of the most lucrative [sites] on getting cash back.”

With the holiday shopping season approaching, one of the cool ways to take advantage of Bing Cashback is with purchasing gift cards.  Visit Bing, click on “Shopping” and enter the name of the gift card you’re searching for. The site will list all the cards available, prices and cash back rewards, which can surpass 10 percent. Recent deals have included 6 percent cash back on Gap and Banana Republic cards, and 10 percent cash back on iTunes cards.

With retailers panicking about slow Christmas sales this year, expect a ton of great deals online. Start with Bing Cashback and happy hunting.
