About this deal

This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:

paypal.com/uk/…rms

1) Send 1p to a mate who doesn’t have a PayPal account

2) Ask them to sign up and link their bank account or card

3) When they spend or send £5+, we’ll send you both a tenner

Even better, you can do this with up to five friends, so you could get £50 for sending 1p to five friends (just don’t forget to remind them to send or spend at least £5).

    Interested to see if this works. I got an email from paypal credit offering £20 to sign up so I did. I didn't get the £20 so asked them to close the credit account. They said they would on the phone but never actually did it. They still send me regular emails suggesting I buy things with my paypal credit account.

    No necessarily. You might have it but your parents might not for example.

    So it's 1p or 5 pound.


    You have to send a minimum of 1p to a friend.

    Once your friend has linked their account to a bank account, they need to send or spend a minimum of £5 for the deal to be activated and then you both, hopefully,both get £10.

    Hmm, I have 4 bank accounts, only 1 linked to PayPal, missus has 2 bank accounts. I refer her, she sends £5 to her own other account, £20 the richer?

    I do it again to her other account (with a tweak to her email address), and she does it again!

    Then she refers me up to 3 times and I set up new accounts with all my spare accounts, that's £100 ?

    Trying to work out what's to stop that from happening?

    If anyone wants me to invite them just DM me your email. I won't ask for the 1p back

    You might get tripped up on using the same names and addresses... you should easily get away with recommending her and catching one bonus, trying to go round again might not work... but it might...

    T&Cs for the current promotion, as available via the attached link -

    Inviting Friends and Earning Referral Credits Terms & Conditions

    By using or participating in PayPal's "Invite Friends" feature (the "Programme" or "Invite Friends Programme"), you agree to the following terms and conditions (the "Terms"). PayPal has the right, at any time and in its sole discretion, and without prior notice, to terminate, cancel, suspend or modify the Programme or these terms.

    The Invite Friends Programme allows you to invite people you know to sign up for a PayPal account. You can earn PayPal rewards when friends you invite to join PayPal through the Programme sign up and complete an eligible transaction. If you are the person inviting friends to join PayPal, you are a "referrer" under these terms, and if you are a person who receives an invitation, you are a "referee."


    Eligibility:

    ‘The Promotional Period’The Programme is active from July 7 2020 at 12.00am to December 31 2020 at 11.59pm UK time.In order to be eligible to earn rewards through the Programme, referrers must have a UK PayPal account in good standing at the time they send an invitation and when reward(s) are issued. An invitation is £0.01 sent to the referee via “Send Money” payment in the app or web. The referrer can claim a reward for a maximum of 5 referees that satisfy the conditions outlined.Both referrers and referees will be eligible to earn a reward only when the referee satisfies all of the following conditions (the “Reward Criteria”): (i) accesses and completes the PayPal sign up process to claim the referrer’s £0.01 sent; (ii) the referee must link their bank, credit card or debit card to their account; and (iii) completes an eligible transaction of minimum £5 of value within the Promotional Period. An eligible transaction (an “Eligible Transaction”) means: (a) an online checkout payment of at least £5 GBP, sent from the linked bank account, credit card or debit card, which is marked as "complete" in the referee’s account; or (b) a person-to-person payment (sent to anyone other than the referrer) from the linked bank account, credit card or debit card, which is marked as ‘received’ by the recipient. A person-to- person payment (a “Person-To-Person Payment”) is where a person sends money to another person using their PayPal account, not a purchase using PayPal.Transactions which have been: (a) cancelled; (b) refunded; (c) reversed by either the referee or the seller; (d) Person-To-Person Payments giving rise to reversals; or (e) Person-To-Person Payment sent to the referrer will not be regarded as an Eligible Transaction for the purpose of satisfying the Reward Criteria.If two or more referrers invite the same referee, we will credit the reward to the person who sent the £0.01 first. Referrers may earn up to a total of £50 GBP in rewards through the Promotional Period ("lifetime reward limit"). Referees may earn up to £10 GBP once they have completed sign up, linked their bank account, credit card or debit card and transacted an eligible transaction within the Promotional Period.InvitationsYou may only send invitations to personal friends and acquaintances, and may never publish or distribute your invitation in public locations where the audience is likely to include people who are not your personal friends. If you post your invitation on any third party website, such as a social media website, you must also comply with that website’s terms of use.Please note that whenever you decide to share your invitation, you must tell your referees that you could receive a reward from PayPal if they sign up and complete an eligible transaction. Failure to disclose this information is a violation of these terms and could result in PayPal disqualifying you from the Programme and you may forfeit any rewards you would otherwise have earned through the Programme.Receiving and Using RewardsRewards will post to your PayPal balance no later than January 31 2021 11.59pm UK time.Standard rewards are £10, though this amount may vary in the event of special promotions or alternative offers. Specific reward details, such as amount, will be disclosed to you when you send an invitation and in related promotional materials.Reward expiration date and exclusions will be included in the email PayPal sends you to notify you that a reward has been issued. PayPal reserves the right to limit, cancel, or revoke a reward if PayPal determines, in its sole discretion, that you have violated these terms and conditions, or if we restrict or close your account pursuant to our User Agreement.This Promotion is governed by English law. By entering, entrants agree to be bound by these terms and conditions and the paypal.co.uk User Agreement.The promoter is PayPal Pte. Ltd, a Singaporean company registered under number 200509725E and with a registered address of 5 Temasek Boulevard, #09-01 Suntec Tower Five, Singapore 038985

    This should answer your question

    Both referrers and referees will be eligible to earn a reward only when the referee satisfies all of the following conditions (the “Reward Criteria”): (i) accesses and completes the PayPal sign up process to claim the referrer’s £0.01 sent; (ii) the referee must link their bank, credit card or debit card to their account; and (iii) completes an eligible transaction of minimum £5 of value within the Promotional Period. An eligible transaction (an “Eligible Transaction”) means: (a) an online checkout payment of at least £5 GBP, sent from the linked bank account, credit card or debit card, which is marked as "complete" in the referee’s account; or (b) a person-to-person payment (sent to anyone other than the referrer) from the linked bank account, credit card or debit card, which is marked as ‘received’ by the recipient. A person-to- person payment (a “Person-To-Person Payment”) is where a person sends money to another person using their PayPal account, not a purchase using PayPal.

    It says in the terms and conditions the money will be withdrawn on the first purchase used with the PayPal account if used before it expires, so if you buy a xbox dlc for £1 then you lose £9.

    Mine didn't get an invite, the invite is you sending them the 1p.

    "An invitation is £0.01 sent to the referee via “Send Money” payment in the app or web."

    It then says to ask them to sign up and they have to spend £5+. (edited)

    I can't comment on that yet, it was exactly 2 weeks ago when my friend made his first purchase and people have said it can take 2-3 weeks after that. Hopefully someone else can advise.

    First PayPal account - I sent £5 from my (2nd) current account to my wife,
    Second ^ account - wife sent £5 to my (main) current account,
    Third ^ account - daughter sent £5 to me...
    It doesn't qualify if you send money to the account that 'invited' you to sign up for paypal.

    Or you can just buy something from HUKD...
