c) once all that is done, go back tohttp://www.bing.com/shopping and put in whatever you are searching for "canon 5d mark ii" and hit search. Then click on the first result which will bring up a list of stores - from there just pick one and complete your purchase.
A few things...your rebate comes LATER depending on how you pay for whatever you are buying. So you pay whatever adorama.com is normally charging. After a while (up to 60 days) bing will give you your refund. So its not an instant savings - although for some ebay items paid with paypal i can be. Just depends. And the cash back is different depending on the item and price and where its bought from. I think i saw 3% back on a 7d from adorama, but 10% on the 5d!
Its not a scam or anything, its just a way for Microsoft to promote bing. I've been using it to buy stuff on ebay and adorama where i can. Hey, why not, free money!
Enjoy!
