Then use PayPal to make payment, and £5.00 is automatically deducted when making payment.

These are targeted campaigns. I would suggest you to ignore this. Again, no pressure - it is upto you.

Have posted a screenshot of the email I received below. Email arrived at 00:08 this morning. Used the discount pretty much straightaway.
Also had confirmation email to say the £5.00 had been saved to my account. Automatically applied when I paid by PayPal.

Keep looking for for email as I guess may not all be sent at same time. Although I did say Account specific so it's possible that not every one will get this.

No no idea about whether new accounts will get this either.

My son got this email, he rarely uses his account I didn't get it and use my account all the time, I assume it's just to entice you back to paypal

Same here. I use paypal everytime and I didn't get the email yet :dizzy_face:

I got this for a PayPal account that I had never used, and totally forgot about. The linked payment credit card had expired years ago.

So basically it's got nothing to do with being a valued PayPal customer lol.

vassy1 to JohnnyRoller

12 Sep 17 #11

Nope.. existing PayPal customers can make more purchases only :stuck_out_tongue:

BubaMan to JohnnyRoller

12 Sep 17 #29

Quite the contrary I think.
I have 2 PayPal accounts and only the unused one got the offer.

xenophon to BubaMan

You say quite the contrary yet you confirm his post.

BubaMan to xenophon

12 Sep 17 #34

Contrary to being a valued customer...
Whereas you seem to be as contrary as Mary Mary :stuck_out_tongue:

Heat given but no chance I will get this email. Just shows the advantages of having multiple accounts. grrrrrrrrr :rage:

I got an £8 no minimum spend offer last week for an account that's never made a purchase.

Cold as it’s Paypal. For as long as I live I’ll never use PayPal for the way they treat customers.

ST3123 to Tomhardy7

12 Sep 17 #19

I'm sure I'll be in the minority but I actually find Paypal pretty good to deal with, much better than eBay at any rate as you are actually talking to a real person rather than a robot on an teleprompter as it can feel like too often with eBay :grin: The key as with many companies is to find the right department, usually going via the complaints or retentions department gets biggest results and this usually ensures that you get connected to a proper UK call centre as I have NEVER found the foreign call centres able to help for anything (across all companies I have dealt with not just Paypal).

Lastly, don't always be willing to take the first answer you get, one advisor saying 'no' doesn't mean that the next won't say 'yes' it very much depends who you speak to as well....

Tomhardy7 to ST3123

12 Sep 17 #22

You’re one of the lucky ones it seems!!! I’ve been treated like **** by both eBay and PayPal when it comes to buyers scamming me. Tried all departments multiple times and they never seemed to want to help me. I buy all my goods from other sites and use my card.

Its a a shame because if they were helpful I’d still use them

BigDiscovery to ST3123

I Second that!
Some time ago I had an eye opening experience on eBay. I bought an Amazon gift card (or in a reality - thin air), seller sent me obviously fake code. After some message exchange seller told me to try my luck in a resolution center.
So I opened the case against him, contacted eBay CS, explained them what happened and asked them to look on a message exchange, they didn't care at the slightest as such purchase is not covered by their "money back guarantee", so they advised me to wait til decision is made on the case or to contact the police, even though I had a confirmation email from Amazon CS stating that such code is not valid.
Believe it or not, but just because the seller sent me some kind of code looking message, I lost the case instantly.
Eventually I contacted PayPal and their CS within a minutes moved the money from the seller in to their own account and requested the proof that I have benefited from the code he sent me or to send a legit code. Seller did not reply within 2 weeks so I automatically won the case and got my money back.
PayPal CS is top notch - British people who actually listen, look in to the matter and sort it.

Well..I follow this link, I can see the offer , but when I log in..is nothing there...

collectorcol to danflorin3

12 Sep 17 #18

You need to receive an email offer.

Looks like it's for inactive accounts so pretty useless to most.

Now watch it go 1000°+ :angry:

danflorin3 to collectorcol

12 Sep 17 #35

1000 + form inactive users :)))
What about us, people who put loads of money in their pockets?..Nothing huh..?...

12 Sep 17 #20

BAD BAD BAD SORRY.. NEVER ADVISE ANYONE TO SIGN UP TO SOMETHING VIA AN UNSOLICITED EMAIL LINK.. IDENTITY THEFT / FRAUD / PHISHING EMAILS .. COME ON !!!

condracky to walrlove

12 Sep 17 #28

No one's signing up for things from unsolicited emails, try re-reading what the deal is.

HottyHotty

12 Sep 17 #21

Heat from me even though I won't get it. Never ceases to amaze me how people moan about this stuff.

Of course they're going to target rarely used accounts, it's an incentive designed to get people using Paypal, not a bloody Christmas present. It's not rocket science.

Either way if you are upset and can be bothered, try getting on a livechat to paypal, they'll sometimes give you the £5 credit even if the offer didn't apply. Just pretend to be upset about something or another. :smile:

I got this. Unfortunately Tesco direct do not accept PayPal otherwise I would combine with the other voucher code

liannallinson

12 Sep 17 #24

I have this email but when I press save offer it states I am not valid for this offer?! Huh?! They sent it to me!!!

greg55678 to liannallinson

Same!

Very annoyed this seems to be for accounts that haven't been active. I use PayPal loads and haven't got this email.

David23

12 Sep 17 #27

Haven't got the email, used Pay Pal only like 2 months ago so maybe that's why. Sucks when the they don't give exact conditions as to who gets them and who doesn't!

ashman33

12 Sep 17 #30

I have just received an eBay voucher £10 off £30 minimum spend. Anyone else get one

johnsmith1997 to ashman33

12 Sep 17 #44

No,I got the £5 OFF email.

12 Sep 17 #33

This is not an offer. Only eligible if PayPal sends you the email.

bleachershane

12 Sep 17 #36

No email... Nice to see PayPal treating their regular users so well :unamused:

Splashmo to bleachershane

12 Sep 17 #40

Why would they? If you're using Paypal already, they don't need to incentivise you to use Paypal.

I don't get why people get so sniffy about this.

bleachershane to Splashmo

12 Sep 17 #42

Thanks for the explanation of how marketing works. Much appreciated.

benhalsey to bleachershane

13 Sep 17 #58

But I use them all the time. They are getting revenue from me and they are not putting marketing effort into me..... THIS IS MADNESS!

dlm136 to benhalsey

13 Sep 17 #60

I think that's the point. You use it all the time so they don't need to give you anything this campaign is aimed at unused accounts to get them to start using them again.

bleachershane to benhalsey

13 Sep 17 #62

‌ :thumbsup:

The concept of rewarding loyal customers (I'm not talking shoppers, I'm talking people who pay their fair share of extortionate PayPal and eBay fees on a monthly basis) is something you've obviously never considered. It makes them happy and keeps them loyal. Both parties benefit in the long term.

So who are they targeting? By the looks of the people here it's folk with multiple accounts for goodness knows what reason who aren't be lured back, they're simply gaining the benefit of registering themselves more than once on PayPal.

JohnnyRoller to Splashmo

12 Sep 17 #49

It's probably got a lot to do with the way they have worded the email. It's like you being in your local ordering a pint and some random guy pops up behind you (some guy you've never seen) and gets served first and gets a free bag of pork scratchings.

Edit: I'm sure you wouldn't get sniffy about that either. It's a known fact, treating people unequal causes problems.

This for new accounts only, and /or accounts that haven't been used in a while?

Uilleam17

12 Sep 17 #38

I've just asked them on Twitter if all valued customers are getting en email

danflorin3 to Uilleam17

12 Sep 17 #43

Well..I wonder what " valued costumers " mean to them?
I had transactions over 7k in the last year with them and payed loads fees..but nothing there for " valued costumers " :))

12 Sep 17 #39

Not showing for me, on either account, one I use all the time and the other I've only used a 1+ years ago.

Oh mine appeared the other day when buying something. Didn't know what it was but couldn't say no to £5 off.

I use my paypal account everyday, online and in store, and never received this offer through email :dizzy_face:‌ :angry:

karys76

12 Sep 17 #48

Thanks. Thought I'd check my old email account & ebay had sent me a £20 off a £40 spend voucher. So I've put it towards a dressing table for my daughter which I was going to buy anyway.

I didn't receive any email from paypal. Yesterday I did a purchase over paypal. Will I get £5 cash back?

SeraphXii

12 Sep 17 #52

Well the hell with you too, Paypal. I use it for almost every purchase and didn't get diddly squat.
Hot deal for those who got it, I assume mostly those who rarely use the service.

I've had this offer twice before but not this time.

Seems luck of the draw who gets it.

Received the offer on an old account I had forgotten about, and turned it into $15bn! (bought 3 Zimbabwean $5bn notes)

Received a £10 off £30 spend tied in nicely with this £5 off deal, forza 7 for £24.85

13 Sep 17 #61

Received yesterday, wasn't sure if it was a spoof e-mail, an attempt to get my password.

Will definitely log in and claim my cash!

13 Sep 17 #63

I had an email on an account that is active by never used as I use my husband's paypal frequently. He didn't have an email with offer and his is used at least once or twice a week

Uilleam17

13 Sep 17 #64

This is the reply I rec'd on Twitter when I asked if ALL valued customers get a £5 voucher, this means nothing

Promotions are on an account basis, so keep an eye on your email for the next promotion that you might be selected for. :smile: ^RA

HottyHotty to Uilleam17

13 Sep 17 #65

And what did you expect? £5 free? Does everyone moan about the new customer incentives for Ocado Etc.? They are drumming up business, not 'rewarding' you. As I said higher up, if you're that bothered get on the livechat to complain and you may be surprised.

Can anyone tell me how to use the fiver credit? i tried to buys things on ebay and pay with PAYPAL, however it doesnt indicate i have fiver credit on my paypal acc.?

hardikm007

14 Sep 17 #67

I have got one 3 months back and used it successfully. There are many sites which are accepting PayPal and so its easy to get it reedeemed. I have used for my mobile topup.

VengeceVapourX

14 Sep 17 #68

I dont know if this is related to the deal or not, but i recently purchased a domain from GoDaddy through PayPal and they refunded the total cost of the purchase!

Maybe PayPal were feeling extra generous when viewing my account lol
