Limit: one (1) reward per referee Valid Account and five (5) rewards (max reward is $50.00 USD) per referrer Valid Account throughout the entire reward period.

Our Verdict
I always like donating to charity when my donation can be amplified like this. It’s only an extra $5 to the charity but every bit extra counts. Most people already have a PayPal account so the referral bonus isn’t that useful, but it’s better than the $5 bonus sometimes offered. Feel free to share your referrals in the comments below. In terms of the Honey bonus you can get 500 ‘gold’ (worth $10 towards a gift card) when using a referral, so do that first then try to do this PayPal deal. You can use my referral here, appreciate those who use it. Please do not share your referrals below.
