Update 11/7/22: Deal available again
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.

12/03 - Referred friend.
12/24 - Friend made first PayPal purchase over $5.
To date, no $10 referral bonus received by either of us. Fine print in Terms & Conditions says reward should post within 24 hours but may take up to two weeks. Will follow up with PayPal Customer Service if no payout within two-week period.
Same problem. Referred P2 who never had Paypal account, met all the conditions. So far no bonus received. Going to contact Paypal CS
@guest_1482929, Did you and your P2 ever receive the $10 PayPal Referral Bonus?
@guest_1524247 - Nope. I contacted twice and then gave up.
Same issue with being offered $10 to try their app. Annoying.
@guest_1482929, Rats. I'm so sorry. Discouraging news. Despise these companies that don't keep their promises... especially for a measly $20 bucks.
Don't do it, you will never get it. Waste of time and effort! I tried twice, but never got the bonus.
I referred my friend last year, they didn’t give me the bonus I contacted them they gave me $10 voucher
Positive DP. Referred my son who just turned 18 and he bought something from Best Buy using PP - $10 posted for both of us this week
Is there anything that prevent someone from opening another account to get the bonus?
A banishment into eternity.

Never got the bonus when I did this in December. PayPal customer service just sucks so I didn't waste my time contacting them. Don't waste your time with this deal!
Did it last month, but never received any money
Did refer 2 people and never got the $10. Don’t waste your time
Had a very hard time to contact PayPal for the rewards supposed to come but haven't. Only got $10 for referrer, won't do it again.
