****** & Bing Screwup

I placed an order with DD a couple of days ago, and I went to ****** and then Bing to check the cashback amounts. Saw that Bing was higher, and I ordered through their portal. So, this morning, I get an email from ****** saying I got cashback for my purchase, but nothing shows up in my account for Bing. (This was my first time using Bing, so I'm not sure if that made a difference.) I sent an email to customer service at Bing...anything else I can do?

Thanks!

What does "******" stand for? I guess the software didn't like the word.

Serious answer: if the site is banned from discussion here, it's probably less than legit.

I was hoping this was a screwup by some ********* store. The truth was much less entertaining.

Last time I checked you did not get a kickback for referring people to bing. With the "E" site you do.

Thus brings the issue of why one is allowed and the other is not.

Generally posted to evoke a response from folks who don't know the definition. Glad we haven't taken the bait.
