I'm going to purchase a laptop through HP and I saw this option for bill me later. Normally I wouldn't even look at this but they are offering 25 dollars cashback. I was wondering if anyone tried using this? Of course I will pay down the balance first thing after I get the cashback but is there a way they can scam me through this if I pay asap?

Tons of stores offer cashback if you sign up for their credit card. This is no different.

BillMeLater is legit. Opening an account with them though allow them to pull your credit report just like you are applying a new credit card, as you really are technically opening a new line of credit with them. So be aware of that.

I only opened an account with them because they offered me up to $100 cashback for my first purchase. I received the cashback (automatically applied to my balance) in less than two weeks after the purchase.

I've used BillMeLater several times for the 90 days same as cash offered at different retailers. Never had a problem with them.
