I often get asked questions by eBay members about the Cellerciser rebounders that I sell there. One of the more popular questions that I receive goes like this, "Can you do any better on the price?" or "Can you take $275 (on the $305 Half-Fold without Balance Bar model"?
I can appreciate those people looking for a better deal especially in today's uncertain economy. Although the $305 delivered price for the Half-Fold Cellerciser without Balance Bar, and the $365 delivered price for the Half-Fold Cellerciser with Balance Bar (for residents of the continental United States) are the best prices on the Internet or anywhere for that matter, THERE IS A LEGITIMATE/LEGAL WAY TO GET A CASH REBATE ON YOUR PURCHASE SO THAT YOUR "NET" COST OUT-OF-POCKET IS NOTICEABLY LESS.
Interested?
I thought you might be.
However, before you do anything else if you haven't joined up yet, sign into your eBay account and register for free into the relatively new "eBay Bucks" program where you can receive 2% of your eBay purchase price back in 90 days or less to use on future eBay purchases.
For details on how to do this, go here:
http://pages.ebay.com/rewards/faq.htmlNow for the news that is going to make your day if you shop on eBay AND if you're a resident of the United States (regrettably this offer isn't open to our friends outside the U.S).
First, I want to make this perfectly clear. The cash rebate program that I'm about to explain is not something that eBay is doing nor Cellular Health Innovations, LLC (the maker of the Cellerciser). So don't call the home office of the Cellerciser, or an Amazon dealer, or any other distributor to see if they can match this rebate. They can't and they won't. It's that simple.
The cash rebate program is from the good folks at Microsoft. In case you're wondering why Microsoft would give anyone a cash rebate on a purchase of a mini-trampoline, it's actually somewhat easy to understand.
Those sponsored links that you see on Google and Yahoo when you do a keyword search on their sites are actually pay-per-click ads. In other words, companies are willing to pay Google a set price for people like you to click on their pre-approved ads. The revenue for these "pay-per-click" ads runs into the billions every year for Google.
Microsoft has its own search engine called Bing.com. It wants to grow its share of the lucrative multi-billion-dollar-a-year pay-per-click ad revenue business. In order for you to switch over and start using Bing.com regularly for your search engine needs, Microsoft is enticing people to try their search engine out by offering incentive programs such as eBay Bing Cashback.
Essentially, it works like this. Upon arriving at Bing.com, type in the word "cellerciser" into the search box and click the magnifying glass to initiate a search.
On the Bing.com search results page that appears, you'll see an eBay ad appear first that reads
Cellerciser ·www.eBay.com Bing cashback Buy Cellerciser. You may get 10% off with PayPal if eligible.
In a nutshell, by clicking on that ad, you will be directed to a search results page on eBay for the term "cellerciser". You should see in the top middle of that page a green Microsoft icon that reads Live Cashback with a percentage next to it--in this case 10% (it normally reads 8% but right now there is an extra incentive as it is so close to Valentine's Day). If you don't see this Microsoft icon, you don't have your computer cookies enabled, and you'll need to adjust your settings. See your browser's help section for how to do that.
Now here's where the fun begins. During the next hour, should you purchase a Cellerciser Half-Fold Rebounder with Balance Bar (pictured), for example, using Buy It Now and pay for your purchase using PayPal (a requirement), then you will be eligible to receive a $36.50 cash rebate (10% of $365) from Microsoft in approximately 60 days.
You'll know if you're doing this correctly before you click the Buy It Now button the second time. You should see a prominently displayed message indicating that you'll be eligible for a $36.50 cash rebate from Microsoft if you pay by PayPal.
This rebate program is not only for Cellercisers, but for ipods, Coach handbags, paintings, dvd players, and a myriad of other valuable merchandise on eBay.
You can take advantage of this rebate program up to 40 times in a calendar year. The largest single rebate you can receive on any one purchase is $200 and $2,500 is the most you can receive in rebates over a year's time.

To sum up, by joining eBay bucks and then going through Bing.com to make your Cellerciser purchase using Buy It Now on eBay today, that Half-Fold Rebounder with Balance Bar that costs you $365.00 up front will eventually have a "net price" of $321.20:
Buy It Now price on eBay: $365.00
2% Cash Back from eBay Bucks: $(7.30)
10% Cash Back from Microsoft Cashback: ($36.50)
Your Net Price: $321.20
Take advantage of this unique opportunity today to start using the best rebounder on the market today -- the Cellerciser.
