Thanks, I though it would have gave us a code to enter, hope it works.

Didn't work for me. My paypal email address has an underscore in it. I wonder if that's the problem...

USCGCraig · February 8, 2007 1:54AM

Very cool. Thank you.

DennisH · February 8, 2007 1:55AM

I've been trying to locate/confirm this deal on the PayPal home page but can't find anything. Has anyone else been able to?

RichieURich · February 8, 2007 1:55AM

Thank you! Speaking of which, did anyone have the December 2006 $20 paypal rebate credited to their account yet? Mine hasn't arrived yet.

LALASD4 · February 8, 2007 2:00AM

$20 paypal rebate credited to their account yet?

Got two of them.

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.

thecointrader · February 8, 2007 2:18AM

No, I never got mine either.

theump · February 8, 2007 2:20AM

Found the link. It is legit. Thanks op.

If it is I'll just get more spam since all that's ask for is your email address.

BECOKA · February 8, 2007 2:25AM

Thanks, definitely will use.

SCAM!

Isn't this the same domain that the previous $20 rebate came from? If so, it sounds like people have reported receiving the rebate. Any confirmation?

ca0100000 · February 8, 2007 2:41AM

its the same link. Its safe and will work.

If it is spam, it does not matter, I delete 2500 a day anyways, so 2501 is not going to hurt.

Goldbully · February 8, 2007 2:47AM

My question is, How did you find that promotion.

It's nowhere to be found from the home page.

theump · February 8, 2007 2:52AM

Here is how to find the offer via the homepage.

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....

Dave99B · February 8, 2007 2:53AM

Has anyone actually done this? Does it work? i.e. are we sure it's not a scam?

Also, how come when I go to the PayPal site directly, I see no mention of this promo? Maybe I'm just paranoid?

Dave

LALASD4 · February 8, 2007 2:55AM

It is real.

mcheath · February 8, 2007 2:56AM

It looks legit to me

BlindedByEgo · February 8, 2007 3:44AM

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.

storm888 · February 8, 2007 6:29AM

Thank You !

lilbear8 · February 8, 2007 7:35AM

Free Money? I'll take it. Thanks

DennisH · February 8, 2007 7:46AM

Finally found it on the welcome/sign-in page. I could've sworn it wasn't there early this morning.

Thanks for the heads-up on this!

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.

Thanks.

mepot · February 8, 2007 10:08AM

I signed up for the previous $20.00 rebate,bought a coin on Dec 31st,and have not received the rebate yet.

Started reading the fine print:The following transactions are excluded from this offer: Send Money transactions,

payments to Personal Accounts,eBay payments made to Personal Accounts, .I bought from an

individual,I wonder if it has to be from a website only?

You must make a purchase on www.eBay.com, www.eBay.ca or any United States or Canadian website that

accepts PayPal.

Inquiring minds want to know!

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.

BobaFett72 · February 9, 2007 8:39AM

ricky, what email? its a link on the homepage.

ttown · February 9, 2007 8:44AM

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

cullenbryant · February 9, 2007 8:52AM

<< 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.

ricko · February 9, 2007 9:19AM

I received the December rebate... Cheers, RickO

7over8 · February 9, 2007 10:47AM

guys,
even if it was a scam, they are only asking for your email address which can be found virtually anywhere...

they arent asking for anything else, or to sign in

Coins101 · February 9, 2007 11:18AM

<< Your link is http://paypal.com not the secure https://paypal.com. paypal always deals with secure links.

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.

BobaFett72 · February 9, 2007 12:11PM

its right on the main page in the green/grey box

Didn't work for me. This is what I got:

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.

greghansen · February 15, 2007 9:10AM

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.

Coins101 · February 15, 2007 10:30AM

Yup, I got the same response:

"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. "

Maybe that is why I can't see it on the PayPal site.

I wish they would go back to coupons!!!!!!

bbrewski · February 15, 2007 10:31AM
