    Please only answer if you're 100% positive:

    I just ordered a laptop from HP with the 30% BCB and I've got my confirmation email saying I'm getting 450 back. If I call HP and have them refund 200 dollars to me to avoid canceling my purchase, will this void my BCB or just lower it?

    Reading their FAQ about HP it says:

    4. Partial returns of an order will be recalculated and the cashback will apply to the new total purchase amount before taxes and shipping charges.

    Does this mean they'll subtract 200 from my purchase, then recalculate the 30%?

    they didn't cancel my cash back, but recalculated it from my order with TD when I returned 1 of 3 items.

    I have another question, if you're using BCB, do you have to use PayPal or can you use another form of payment?

    if you're asking how you get paid out from the cashback account, you have a choice of receiving a check, paypal and I think direct deposit is the third option. they are very prompt with checks.

    I'm asking if you can make the payment to the vendor with a credit card/debit card. I'm hoping Best Buy's BCB will return so I can purchase a laptop with my BB credit card.
