I have a few coins I've been watching and saving for a bonus, but I have not had any lately. Anyone else get any bonus offers lately?

    Not in at least 2 years. Can't say that I miss them.

    No. I had been getting them every other week up until Christmas.

    Interesting. I usually get between $500-$750 per quarter for free to spend. I would for sure miss the extra percent promos if they stopped.

    It seems like whenever they issue a bonus bucks certificate the month it is available to use there are no bucks promos. My guess is once the expiration date passes they will start appearing again.

    I used to get them very often. Now they have all disappeared.

    Successful transactions with: wondercoin, Tetromibi, PerryHall, PlatinumDuck, JohnMaben/Pegasus Coin & Jewelry, CoinFlip, and coinlieutenant.

    Don't get them the month that eBay bucks are offered for use. Ever.

    Seriously? Well dang.

  • DennisHDennisH Posts: 14,015 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I have a hunch there won't be any more bonus offers until February, when the bucks earned during the last quarter have been used or expired.

    When in doubt, don't.
  • jwittenjwitten Posts: 5,254 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I went ahead and used up my $500 bucks on one of my watched items.. thanks guys! Hopefully next month we will get some bonuses so I can buy the rest :)

  • blitzdudeblitzdude Posts: 6,917 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Used to see them all the time. Haven't seen one in over 2 years now. Used to get pre 33 gold well under spot with the bonus bucks, sure do miss them. Not sure why they stopped coming.

    lately they have been having bucks specials in the month the ebay bucks certificate was issued.
    10/18 had 8% buy or sell with no minimum.

    I just want to get a bonus offer one time to know what it feels like.

    I recently opened a second ebay account to sell non-coins on and crossing my fingers that they'll send that account offers since they've never sent one in the 15+ years I've had my regular account open.

    Are you sure that's not just your ebay bucks certificate? That's different than a promotion where they give you bonus percent with a purchase.

  • tommy44tommy44 Posts: 2,320 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I've been on eBay since November 1997 and have never received a bonus offer. I don't do a lot of buying so that is probably why. I did get $2.26 regular eBay bucks last quarter!

    Make sure you have your promotion settings enabled:

  • Mr Lindy Mr Lindy Posts: 1,328 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I get the bucks offers all the time, except during the month right after the bucks get paid out. Don't look for any bucks deals in January, April, July, October. I just bought a really nice 2017 error using my bucks. I don't know why they constantly offer me 6 % to 10 % in bucks.

  • bestdaybestday Posts: 4,243 ✭✭✭✭

    Ebay ran quite a few bonus buck promos to juice holiday sales,at end of 2017.... they will return, end of the Month or early Feb....I have not missed getting one ... over 7 years at least

    so, this is generally true, but lately it has not been true. last quarter, they had one in October.

    I agree with others that there have been a few exceptions in eBay Bucks spend months, but not many. I did receive one while I still had Bucks to spend in October of last year. I have not received one in January yet.

  • GRANDAMGRANDAM Posts: 8,785 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I got a $10 off a $75+ purchase just before Christmas,,,,,, would not work on bullion so I bought a ceiling fan.

    Not sure if it was offically called a Bonus Bucks Promo or not but it worked.

    Nothing in a couple of weeks.

  • Mr Lindy Mr Lindy Posts: 1,328 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I just activated a 6% ebay bucks offer with no minimums, good thru 1-18-2017 1159 PM.

    I did use up last quarter's reward a couple days ago.

  • FranklinHalfAddictFranklinHalfAddict Posts: 689 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I was actually thinking about this the other day.
    I used to get one at least every month but haven't in at least a year.
    Has anyone called eBay and asked about the disappearance?
    I may call today if I remember and get a moment to see what's up.

    They don't usually have them the month everyone is redeeming their bucks from last quarter, but congrats to those who got them today.

    Hit or miss for me since the end on 2016. They tend to exaggerate an already inconsistent market.

  • MorganMan94MorganMan94 Posts: 1,331 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Oddly enough today a received a 6% for two days only. Not great but better than 1%.

    Oh my, it actually worked! Got the 6% offer on my new account. My older account nada of course.

    I could have saved so much over the years by making a second account sooner but glad I'm getting offers now.

    Offer received as well...too bad I am saving up for the National Money Show, Irving, TX in Mar 2018.

    I got one, had it been 10% I woulda pulled the trigger. That 4% difference is too much for that coin.

    Got the 6% offer that everyone else is mentioning. Of course I used my January bucks (on some 2018 SAEs) last week. At least that wouldn't have qualified for new bucks anyway...

    My $600+ purchase that I used $500 ebay bucks on qualified for new ebay bucks..

    That's true if I buy a coin, sure. However, since I bought some silver American Eagles out of the bullion category, the purchase does not qualify for eBay bucks. I'm not a fan of that rule, even if I understand it from a business sense. They don't want people to buy and sell $5000 worth of silver, earning $500 bucks (assuming 10% bonus) less the buy/sell spread every quarter. Which, obviously, a lot of people on the board would figure out. ;)

  • mbogomanmbogoman Posts: 5,270 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Haven't got one since October. I must be on the bad boy list...

  • logger7logger7 Posts: 9,230 ✭✭✭✭✭

    A little here and there, nothing much in the way of incentives to buy with their heavy costs on consignors. If I find real quality "steak" to sink my teeth into I don't do it based on brownie points, etc..

    I honestly don't understand the rule. Why do they care if we get silver under melt? They still get their share (fees).

    Received notification from eBay this morning for 6% good thru 01/18. I noticed from at least 3 rewards earned from eBay that I don't usually received eBay bonus until after I redeemed them. Last week Jan 9th I redeemed/used my rewards and a week later I received bonus notification. I could be wrong but will I will continue to monitor them.
