Update 9/17/20: Deal is back until December 31, 2020. Hat tip to reader EW
The Offer
- PayPal is offering existing users $10 when they send 1¢ to a friend without PayPal, if they send up and link their bank account/debit card and spend $5+ by December 31 both you and them will receive a $10 bonus
The Fine Print
- Limit of $50 in referral rewards
- You may only refer family and personal friends and acquaintances. Additionally, you must not publish or distribute the invitation to participate that you received from PayPal in public locations (online or otherwise) where the audience is likely to include people who are not your family or personal friends/acquaintances. If you do so, PayPal may disqualify you from participation in the Program and any successful referrals will be void, in PayPal’s sole discretion.
Our Verdict
Please do not share your referrals in the comments as the terms of the offers specifically mention not sharing it publicly. Standard referral bonus previously was $5. Personally think it will be difficult to find somebody without a PayPal account these days but good bonus if you know of somebody without one already.

If the invited user sends $5 to me instead of “spend” it, will it trigger the offer?
Never got my bonus for p2 last year. 15mins of tthree different chats and I decided the money wasn’t worth it. Ymmv
who doesnt have paypal
Can personal account refer a business account? Need business account to use with PayPal key.
I did wind up getting the bonus. About 4 months later.
Anyone received the rewards of the offer ending on Oct 10?
Nope. Met all the requirements and still nothing.
I sent a message and they told me to call, and then the AI on the phone told me send a message. Ridiculous. I’m on live chat right now and we’ll see how it goes.
They credited my account and those I referred with $10 each.
I sent 6 cents to my referee….not 1…….do you think they will disqualify my referal?
“$10 is in your account” arrived yesterday.

There is also a targetd email offer “Long time no see. Here’s $10 for you.”
It was on an older 2nd account that hasn’t seen any love in awhile.
But worth people checking email if they don’t use PayPal often or have 2nd acct
Have an account that I use for cashing out CB sites and payouts to send money to DDA that I use from time to time
Thanks
Appears offer has been extended to December 31st, 2019.
Anybody got the payout? Tried to refer my spouse and she has spent over 5 dollars by the end of September, and still no bonuses appeared on either account?
Same here. Got referral and spent over 5 bucks before September’s end and me and my referrer haven’t got the bonuses
Nothing here either, did it about 2 weeks ago
Nothing here so far. CSR said it will be paid on Nov
Thanks!
Is there any reference code to be given?
