Black Friday: Live.com’s Cashback offers 40% off the Entire HP Store
Live.com is offering 40% cash back on the entire HP online store on Black Friday. To take advantage of this program you’ll have to pay full price for your HP gear and wait for Live.com’s cash back program to work its magic and send you your money. Live.com is Microsoft’s search engine.
To sign up, visit Live.com/cashback. Starting at 7am Pacific on Black Friday you can search for “HP” at Live.com and you’ll see the text-ads that offer 40% off the HP Store. The ridiculously good thing about this promo is that you still get all of HP’s current discounts offered within the store such as free memory upgrades and instant discounts. These incentives mean you can save up to $569 on select notebooks PLUS get the 40% cash back. Now that’s a Black Friday deal!
The Black Friday special offer is only good for 12 hours starting at 7am Pacific Time.
The reason I’m so excited by this deal is that it’s good on the entire HP catalog, not just on entry-level and mainstream notebooks like a lot of other Black Friday retailers. This HP and Live.com promotion can save you tons of cash on printers, monitors, desktops and even those over-priced ink cartridges.
There are only two limitations to the HP/Live.com Black Friday discounts. Live.com has a cap of $2,500 in rebates per person per calendar year. This shouldn’t be a problem for most buyers since you’d have to spend $6,250 to reach that limit with this promo. The other limitation is that you can’t stack a coupon on top of this deal that you’ve found on Notebooks.com or elsewhere.
I suggest you check out the HP outlet section if you want to save some even more money by going with a previous-generation product or something that’s refurbished.
I’ve already signed up for Live.com cashback and am going to buy a HP w2558hc 25-inch display that’s normally $599.99. A $50 instant discount plus the 40% rebate will drop my cost down to $329.99.
Another item I’ve been waiting to buy is the HP Windows Home Server, which will help me centralize my backups and media libraries. I’m going to buy the HP MediaSmart Server EX475, which includes two 500GB drives and normally costs $649.99. HP is offering a $100 instant rebate right now and the Live.com 40% cash back will drop my cost down to $329.40.
This deal will have the most impact for those of you who want to buy high-end notebooks such as the new HP HDX series notebooks or a Touchsmart.
Be sure to thoroughly read Live.com’s terms and conditions to make sure you qualify for the discounts and so that you understand how you’ll be paid. I’m not a big fan of rebates (and this technically is one), but I’m willing to deal with this hassle for 40% off.
Visit Live.com to take advantage of this offer.

Hi all- the deal is legit, but Microsoft is experiencing technical difficulties.
I posted this issue on Facebook and HP’s CTO wrote me this message back within a couple minutes:
“Apparently we have been tracking this and been on phone/email. It’s not busted at our end. Unfortunately the MS engine went live at 6.51 am PT and went down within 30 minutes but we’re working with them to get it right… please tell your readers to hang tight…”
I’ll let all of you know if/when it’s back up.

I actually registered via the add last night (before 7AM) and got the impression that going forward I can go to the HP site directly and still get the discount.
Not sure if that’s true tough.
I may do so at the end of the day if MS is unable to fix their engine.

@ Roman – According to Cashback’s FAQs, that is not correct. It must be in the same browsing session. “As long as you click an eligible product or store link at our Live Search cashback site, you will earn cashback savings on all eligible purchases you make during your store visit. A store visit means the same web browsing session (not to exceed 24 hours) in which you click an eligible product or store link.”

I have been trying all day with no luck. Are they even trying to fix this ? Seems to me two Corp. giants like MS and HP could have a reliable website working for this. Beginning to think it is just a scam !!

Hello there,
Has anyone got the live.com HP cashback website to work? I am amazed that they have not fixed it yet. My friend was able to place his order at 9:59 am EST this morning and got the credit in his cashback account. I tried at 10 am EST and could not get thru. And they wanted to compete with GOOGLE search. Someone needs to get fired.

I guess Live is just plain overloaded. HP, TigerDirect, nothing links…just timeouts and try again laters. Oh Well…was hoping to get a nice laptop today: looks impossible to get this deal.

@Roman- that URL is specific to your session and you need to pass through the Live.com CashBack servers in order for this to work. Please make sure you do that- at least once after it’s fixed.

I’ve been on email w/HP for the past few hours. They’ve confirmed that this is a Microsoft CashBack server problem and they’re not the only one with this problem.
I imagine their servers are being hammered, but I think the folks in Redmond might have a spare server or 100 laying around somewhere.

Let me tell you, 40% is a significant hunk of change. I have a computer configured with printer and LCD monitor that will save me about $440 in cash back plus the HP REBATES! I will have my faith deeply reinforced in Corporate America if MS or HP end up honoring this cash back deal. I believe that their servers crashed big time once most of us that have been preparing since 7Pm yesterday, hit the ‘go’ button at exactly 0700 Pacific Time……I hate to say this, but I believe that the honchos have crunched the numbers and have found a way out. What a Christmas it will be if they relent……..

Kela & everyone else- I’ve put a request into Microsoft’s rapid response PR team to see if they can provide any additional info on the 40% off cash back deal.
They usually have someone manning that voice mail line 24/7, but I’m not sure what their response will be like since it’s a holiday and all.

I got through! Here’s how, keep refreshing till you get the screen where you have the Hp site in the background and the smaller box in the center of the screen that will most likely say “oops this isn’t the page you’re looking for”. Right click on the smaller box and hit refresh till it loads the sign in page. once you sign in it will say it is re-directing you to the Hp site and will then most likely send you to another “oops” page. Refresh this page till it brings you to the Hp site and then you’re good. Just got myself a loaded HDX18. good luck.

How can a site such as live.com, owned by the largest software company on the world go down because of excessive traffic. Something smells fishy. If they don’t fix this before the deadline and neither extend the offer…

Just use the firefox function reload this frame only (otherwise you will reload to full page)
You should see a screen asking for your email and then have to type few letters. Then it says that your cashback is activated and you will be redirected to the hp site

Miracle- I’m finally seeing the greyed out HP direct page— but it still won’t let me into the page to shop- even after reloadding
This is really getting on my nerves as well.

go to http://www.live.com (forget the /cashback) and put “hp” in the search box. In the sponsored links at the top of the search results, you will see a link for HP with the 40% discount. That’s the link you need.

Clicked on the HP store logo at live.com/cashback where it says 5% back and was redirected saying I would only get 5% back on my purchase. I knew 40% sounded too good to be true.

hey! Just purchased a laptop. Had been trying for past few hours. Press and hold the F5 button until it shows you the login page after you click the sponsored ad. Make sure you log into live.com before to click the ad. Now I can not pull the cashback sucker to see if I get my money back. If it doesn’t show it then I’ll return it.
Alright listen people. Live.com has a permanent deal with hp.com for 5%, its there everyday. However they have a SPECIAL one-day black Friday deal for 40%. This is the link that isn’t working, supposedly because of excess traffic. Hope that clears everything up.

Mike:
captcha is not the right word (I made this mistake too). After some time instead of captcha you will see few other letters that you have to type in (not captcha whis is probably the command to load the right letetrs).
Once you do that you’ll hit the earn button and hope that it doesn’t time out.
I’m using firefox.
Good luck to all. I placed my order and have to see if I get the cashback.

I was able to add it to my cart half hour before sale was supposed to start this morning. It showed me 40% on the main window but my wife told me not to risk it. I feel so lucky that it worked for me just now.

Green dots moving for me for last 20 minutes. How slow can this site be since morning. Did they put one HP laptop as server? I cant imagine that thousands of people are still trying till now. Or maby they are. Nevertheless, they should have server to handle some load.

If M$ extends the offer, it doesnt really help since HP would have to extend ITS deals as well. So around midnight I have to make a decision to gamble and hope for as good a deal on monday or just buy from HP and forget about the M$ imaginary 40%… I am MAJORLY PISSED OFF that I have been sitting here trying to get this crap to work instead of fighting the crowds at best buy. Maybe I will abandon this while i still have some time to go shopping here on the east coast. I will never use LIVE again. FU MS.
anyoen here kids?

Free certainly beats the unattainable 40% off…
I’ve been working on it nonstop since 1pm CST (not as long as many)
The green dots took a few minutes, but there were several times I got that far and they would just keep going and going…I’d say wait five minutes max and refresh the frame.
What I did was open a new firefox window, open about five sites and refresh them all by right clicking a tab and clicking “reload all tabs”
From there get them all to the point where they have frames and then refresh those frames as much as needed to get in.

I’ve had the same thing happen to me dozens (maybe hundreds of times today.

Any updates from MS? I still can’t get the link to work and have been at it for several hours now. This definitely takes out the all the fun of finding a deal like this. It seems to me that the goal of the offer is to encourage consumer loyalty therefore it would be in HP and MS cashback program’s best interest to extend the offer or something. Nothing worse than being offered a deal and then the business being unable to deliver, that is just frustrating.

It is one of the most stupidest and time wasting deals. MS should be sued for providing wrong information to the customers. I am sure they must be getting hell lot of money from HP for the searches, however, none the poor customer is getting. I have been trying the site from 7.00 AM and even now (almost 5.00 PM) it is not working. When the hell are they going to fix it, after the time of validity gets over. Then MS comes and appologies it did not work. Live.com never got blocked at my place, however, except 2-3 times it never went to HP store and always said “It is not the page…”. Even for 2-3 times when it did go to HP website after clicking “Earn Cashback” nothing happened. Just 2 words “BULLSHIT DEAL”.

MS is not answering the calls and emails are went unanswered too. Usual MS strategy, create a big hype and then product goes busted (Like Windows Vista). In this way, if Live.com plans to cross Google, it will never be possible. Atlease Google does not make any promise so thereby no false hope but MS is exactly opposite.

What a joke. I tried clearing my IE cache of everything (ie, cookies, browsing history, etc…) as suggested by one poster. All to no avail.
What a colossal waste of time this ‘deal’ has been. Useless.

Someone got to get fired at Microsoft for this. I hope so. Compete with Google – forget it. I have always liked Microsoft but they pull something like this, just unforgivable.

Earlier “This isn’t the page you wanted!” page was taking time to load, now it is loading even faster. Looks like MS had turned problem from worse to worst and as for customers it is nightmare for doing refresh or F5. I hope that MS appologies and instead offer discount to customers who waited so long.
The least they can do is put up an official statement on live.com about the problem and that they’re trying to fix it. Watch them just treat it like nothing happened and ignore everyone who they screwed.

EBay link is working. Just wanted everyone to know. It wasn’t working for me earlier.
What do you expect? After trying for 10 hours they are not able to fix and they can do it in another 2 hours. I am myself a computer techie and can vouch that fixing a website for such a small issue does not take this awful lot of time. It must be a ploy from MS to attract customers and get money from HP because of millions and zillions of searches by customers.

what ebay link?
at least b4 when the link wasnt refreshing as quick it seemed like something was happening
but now its just like clicking the same button over and over and over….
i have been able to get to the hp site but then a smaller window pops up and that doenst help anything
Let’s look at it this way. HP paid MS to show that link(Sponsored) on top. I am assuming that it works the same way as Adwords. So everytime some one clicks that link to get to 40% deal page MS makes money. So the flow of money is from HP-> MS.
I may be wrong. Anyone else?

Maybe they decided after working on it all day trying to fix it live, they just rebooted the cashback server hoping someone could take advantage of the great deals
oh oh well idk much about the whole search engines and how they work and stuff regarding payments but this is still ubsurd!!!!!

Whatever, I doubt if anybody got it. Looks like not “Black Friday” but “Bad Friday”. I chose to stay home instead of being doorbuster at “bestbuy”.

looks like the deal is done for the day and website is also gone to sleep,y dont they restart the server, after all its a microsoft thing…
i deff agree!
and im guessing that everyone else that is posting is just hitting the refresh button for either a single of multiple pages and is getting the same result over and over again
this is soooo agravating

Its not only agravating but also excruciating to keep F5 going for 10 hours 40 mins now
Look’s like the cashback server app is definitly down as the ‘general’ cashback link on live.com for the FAQ also times out fairly quick.
The HP deal should go to 7PM PST, but then again just maybe they will extend the buy window if they can get this running… PLEASE MS & HP!! Hey maybe run it all weekend so we can rest our sore F5 fingers
Its not only agravating but also excruciating to keep F5 going for 10 hours 40 mins now
Look’s like the cashback server app is definitly down as the ‘general’ cashback link on live.com for the FAQ also times out fairly quick.

I got it, actually on 2 different windows that I was refreshing. The only thing is that it didn’t give me any indication that I was going through live.com. So, I’m waiting on an email or some kind of notification. Anyone that has?
At this point: I’m not asking for anything more than a working site with a guaranteed 40% like I was expecting. If they make what is wrong into right, and give me the sufficient time expected to customize myself a 40% off laptop, I will be happy. If not… I will be unhappy.

Christine did u click ‘Earn Cashback’, if not then perhaps it will be wise to cancel the order.
hey… cashback site appears to be slowly coming online as the repsponse is now throttled. I hope!
Now again page started taking long time to load.

New message “Request Timed Out” that is some development after 11 hours and 4 mins.
After clicking Earn Cashback, the green circle started to flash… anyone knows: at this time, can i do multi windows with the same email? Will one cancel another?
