It’s a good idea shame they don’t do it for the UK. But if you search your find cashback sites.

MSN’s success is great news for incentive programs like MyPoints.com and others. Given the hard economic times, incentive programs give the average consumer a way to save a few extra bucks when they shop, play games and fill out surveys. For the last two years, MyPoints has provided a toolbar that gives members points for searching the internet. The MyPoints toolbar installs right on your browser and provides results from Google, Yahoo, MSN Live Search, and Ask so our member is sure to get great results, making it easy to earn points.

Members are awarded points that they then can redeem for gift certificates or gift cards from over 70 merchants.

In the interest of full disclosure, I’m a MyPoints.com employee and toolbar user but I’m pulling for MSN with the hope that our industry will get a little more publicity.

If you look closely at the point system it is impossible to claim the top prize even if you carry out the maximum number of szearches every day of the competition. This is bogus to me... John iPod Fan's last blog post..Earth4Energy

I guess this was a great idea after all. The cashback incentive is paying off.

I've found that Microsoft's search engine isn't as accurate as Google and I don't really like the way their algorithm works. It takes them days to even find my website and update my serps. I only use Live Search for the cashbacks, and then go back to Google! QuickPWN's last blog post..Install Flash Player iPhone App

I agree that there has been some encouraging movement but I also believe that the timing for the launch could not have been worse. We need to give more time to see how or whether the momentum builds up. I think that it should. Nicole Price's last blog post..Hypermiling

I actually haven’t heard of this initiative until now. People really embrace these kind of reward incentives for obvious reasons… that’s why sites like UPromise are doing great. Good to hear it may be working!

I dont think this really proves that cashback is working, only that those who already use Live are converting to cashback... which isn't really saying much at all. If I already used them, and now they are offering me a chance to sign up for a program in which I would get money to use them... I think I would sign up.

Very early days for this iniative. It’s far from uncommon for new schemes to provide a bounce in traffic. The key will be whether these gains can be sustained over any length of time.
