The Offer
- Refer or by referred to Paypal and receive a $5 bonus when the person being referred makes their first eligible purchase within 14 days of signing up.
Finding & Sharing Your Referral Links
- Not everybody will have access to a referral link (sadly I don’t for example). Anybody who does have a link, please share where you found it in the comments.
- You’re allowed to share your links in the comments, but make sure you read the fine print below first and also do the following. Failure to do so will result in us removing your link:
- Retweet this tweet first (make sure you retweet the linked tweet, you actually have to retweet the tweet not just write retweet or rt as a reply)
- Add your twitter handle to the end of your comment
- Post a comment with your referral link or your code
- Only post once, if you post twice we will remove both and possibly ban you
The Fine Print
- Please note that whenever you decide to share your referral link, you must tell your referees that you could receive a reward from PayPal if they sign up and complete an eligible transaction.
- You may only send invitations to personal friends and acquaintances, and may never publish or distribute your referral link in public locations where the audience is likely to include people who are not your personal friends. If you post your referral link on any third party website, such as a social media website, you must also comply with that website’s terms of use.
- Full fine print here.
Our Verdict
Honestly I imagine everybody has a Paypal account at this stage, so I doubt this will be useful to many people but if it is please consider using another readers link. Try to use a readers link who provides valuable comments, that will encourage others to help each other out in the comments of other posts.

Just received my first referral award, and frankly, it sucks. Unlike the previous PayPal referral program it’s not actually a $5 credit to your PayPal account. Rather it’s a coupon of sorts with a boatload of restrictions. (Still appreciate the person using my link, though!)
Here’s the email I received.
“We are sending you $5.00 USD as a token of our appreciation for your business. This offer is valid until April 1, 2017.
If you don’t use the entire amount on your next payment don’t worry; the remaining amount will simply be used in future qualifying payments made before April 1, 2017 until it has all been spent! To use this Offer, select PayPal to pay at and log in to the PayPal account that receieved this email. This Offer will be reflected on your PayPal receipt or in the transaction details in your PayPal account. The Offer cannot be used to pay fees.
Excluded transactions from the Offer include but are not limited to the following: donations, gift certificate payments, purchases of gift cards, send money transactions, eBay seller fees, eBay purchases paid via an eBay invoice. The Offer is valid in the 50 United States and limited to purchases in U.S. Dollars. The Offer cannot be transferred or combined with any other PayPal (a) offer (including but not limited to Pay After Delivery); (b) promotion code; (c) coupon; (d) Offer; or (e) discount. The Offer cannot be redeemed for cash or other value and cannot be withdrawn from your PayPal account. The Offer cannot be applied to preapproved payments. PayPal reserves the right to cancel, suspend or modify the Offer in part or in its entirety at any time without notice, for any reason in its sole discretion. Void where prohibited. Offer may not be available when network connectivity between the merchant and PayPal is unavailable.

Thanks in advance to anyone who signs up with my link! By the way, I found the referral link by using the app- it just popped up when I signed in.
