Integration with Bing Ciao.com Shopping

Ciao Dear member,

We are happy to announce an exciting change. As part of the Microsoft family, Ciao U.S. is being integrated into our new search engine, Bing. Soon, you will find familiar Ciao marketers of products and listings on Bing Shopping, and you will be able to save even more money with Bing Cashback program.

To avoid redundancy in our offerings to members and customers, Ciao expert shopping network will no longer be available at the old domain, Ciao.com, beginning July 1, 2009. After this date will not be able to access the community Ciao, read or write product reviews, or have access to other community resources.

What does this mean to you?
You can easily subscribe to a Microsoft Live ID through Microsoft http://home.live.com/ join the community. If you live in the U.S., with a Live ID also gives you access to our Bing Cashback program with which you can earn cash rewards when you shop with a Bing Cashback merchant. If you are based in Europe, our European communities Ciao purchases, including Ciao.co.uk will also welcome you to join us as a member.

As you will not have access to your comments about Ciao.com after 1. July, you need to save your opinions manually Ciao U.S.. You can do this by copying and pasting the text of their comments in your word processor and then save them on your computer. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

As for payments, we are suspending our reward system, starting today. Your account will not be more positive ratings to accumulate money, member referrals, or any other prizes. The money currently in your account will not be affected by this change. We will make a final payment request to all members Ciao U.S. in good condition, including those who have not been able to access the site due to regional restrictions. You will not need to make a payment request itself, we are doing it for you. You should receive your last payment from mid-July and mid August 2009.

I still hope to receive these, my $ 202.00 dollars in July or August.

Thank you for all your great work and wonderful views as a member of Ciao U.S., and to help other consumers to make better purchasing decisions! We loved having you in our community and we look forward to seeing you again as part of Bing Shopping. Until then, take care and keep writing!

We sincerely hope you will join Microsoft Bing shopping community and enjoy a new and innovative shopping experience for products and services. We look forward to hearing your thoughts! If you have any questions, please contact us via info@ciao.com.
