I could not find the promotion at paypal.com until I logged in, and after I logged out it was on the log out page. No funky redirects, and did not request any confidential information.
<< <i>Finally found it on the welcome/sign-in page. I could've sworn it wasn't there early this morning.

Like some other folks I had to log out and log back in to see the icon "$100 Million promotion." It has something to do with the cache or cookies or whatever.
Here's what I got from the real PayPal for the link provided:

Has anyone registered yet? I am a little leary about this as the link you provided is not a secure link. Your link is http://paypal.com not the secure https://paypal.com. paypal always deals with secure links. I would be careful with all the scammers out there today.
I sent a note to the PayPal team, it appears their people are about like the mint in giving out the proper information to clients I posted both links on my thread. Looks like it's a false alarm, nothing to see here
<< <i>Thank you! Speaking of which, did anyone have the December 2006 $20 paypal rebate credited to their account yet? Mine hasn't arrived yet. >>
yes, i received mine. one crucial part of this is that the seller has to be registered for a paypal business account. which means they have the type of account that will accept credit cards. doesn't mean you have to use your credit card to pay........just that they accept them.
you make the purchase and then after paypal evaluates the transaction they will credit your account.
<< <i>Your link is http://paypal.com not the secure https://paypal.com. paypal always deals with secure links. I would be careful with all the scammers out there today. >>
I noticed that also. In addition, I can't find anything on https://paypal.com about it.
It may be a way to harvest PayPal email accounts for further fraud activity. You know the type, We need to verify your account information, please follow the link and sign in to your PayPal account.
We're sorry. The email address you provided does not qualify for this special cash rebate offer. If you did not receive an email invitation for this offer directly from PayPal, you are not eligible to participate.
I did receive teh $20 rebate last time. It sounds like this only works if you get an email from PayPal. They are probably tying to give an incentive to those who don't use PayPal often. Just guessing.
Didn't work for me either. I got the same message about not being eligible. Guess I spend enough money with them that they don't figure they need to give me an incentive.

Not yet, until I do, I won't sign up at a "blind" link. Seems harmless, but who knows...
I was not able to google it either "paypal promotion 2007", but maybe the search engine hasn't updated yet.

It's nowhere to be found from the home page.
Goto:
www.paypal.com
Click on the upper right hand sign the box that has the flower in it. ($100 million dollar promotion)
Once the new page loads in click on the hyperlink that says "shopping site"
On the top see where it says "$15 cash rebate" Click on that link and walla....
Also, how come when I go to the PayPal site directly, I see no mention of this promo? Maybe I'm just paranoid?

Maybe that is why I can't see it on the PayPal site.
I wish they would go back to coupons!!!!!!
