Is Microsoft Cashback a scam?

Anonymous

I purchased a order from samsung.com via Microsoft Cashback and it immediately said my cashback is success. However, several days later, the cashback case even disappeared from the pending cashback category. I would not make that purchase without the cashback, and yes, I contact them via the Microsoft cashback webpage, and no one respond. So it does look like a scam. Any ideas?

    Yes I just received an e-mail from Microsoft saying my cash back was ready for me , and I think this is a scam, because if this was from Microsoft, then they would know, I live in England and not offer in Dollars, So be on your guard everyone

    Not only that, they literally defraud you. There is a cashback site I have used for years. I received a spending offer, and clicked through it and made a purchase. I then received an email from Microsoft Cashback indicating, in effect, that they overrode what I did, stole my transaction from the cashback site I physically used for the purchase, and defrauded me of the bonus I qualified for

    I received a bonus offer from a legitimate cashback site. I clicked through and made a purchase, then received an email form Microsoft Cashback, indicating, in effect, that they overrode what I did without my consent, eliminating what I did and the eliminating the bonus offer I clicked through from another site.

    Same problem.

    Sent email with all supporting document (MS email confirmation to me, my online order, screen shots, etc.). After an initial case # assigned and an MS email to me that MS would look into it, MS no longer responded to multiple inquiries / emails for follow-up. I followed all the rules - signup, use of MS Edge, etc.

    This is not a true scam, it is a legitimate MS offering, but MS is cheating customers then refusing responses to fix the missing $ credits.
