“We are nearly halfway through summer, and soon parents and students will start thinking about the all-important task of back-to-school shopping. We know many of you will be working hard to stretch your dollars this year so you can still get everything you or your family needs — and a few things you just really want. Bing is here to help! Knowing you’d probably rather not spend your waning summer days digging for deals inside the mall, we’re giving away not one, but SEVEN $500 Visa cash cards, each in cool Bing backpacks to help you get your back-to-school shopping done with just a bit less stress. The lucky winners can use their cash card to take care of all their back-to-school shopping – and what better place to find great deals than on Bing Shopping and Bing cashback!

Starting July 23 on Twitter, @bingcashback will be hosting a 7-day Bing cashback Twitter Sweepstakes. The contest runs each weekday until July 31. Each weekday, we will tweet a new Bing cashback- trivia question. Whoever @replies with the right answer within one hour becomes eligible to win.*

The answers to each of our trivia questions will be discoverable by using Bing, specifically Bing Shopping and Bing cashback. Each tweet will be marked with #cashbackpack so you can easily search and find our tweets and other back-to-school budget-minded shoppers, a.k.a. your competitors in this contest. To enter, reply to @bingcashback with your answer and tag your tweet with #cashbackpack.

Whether or not you participate or win, you can still take advantage of the savings from Bing cashback as you gear up for back-to-school. Check out hot deals on backpacks, school supplies, shoes, textbooks, laptops and more from top retailers, such as Barnes & Noble, Foot Locker, Overstock, HP and Sears. Click here to learn how you can search, shop and save with Bing cashback.

Mark your calendars! Don’t forget to start tracking #cashbackpack starting July 23 to win some moo-lah in a cool Bing backpack!

Good luck!
