Bonus from PayPal ?

Japan
March 17, 2008 11:49am CST
Did anyone get the bonus payment from PayPal automatically ? I just got a bonus payment from PayPal and although the amount is just USD 1.95, I'm so glad to get this payment !! Has anyone the same experience ? If yes, can you tell me why they paid the bonus to me ? Thanks & Cheers.

It is not a bonus. When you applied to be a verified member using your credit card, it is deducted to your account. Paypal just merely refunded your money. Don't rejoice because it will be in your credit bills!

I don't think so because I've applied to become a verified member using my credit card for long long time ago. Cheers.

Are you sure the payment is from paypal? Did you sign up for one of their programs that pays interest?

nope, I haven't sign up their programs. I've been the member since 2006 and I always have transactions in each month.

Hmm. I have quite a few transactions monthly on my account and have been with paypal much longer than you have. I have never had a bonus. What information is given in the sender line?

Hmm, I tried to sign up for their interest program, but I guess I don't qualify. I never got a bonus from them and I've been a member since 2000. I use them all the time. Do you think you might have gotten some money from somewhere else on the web like Squidoo or other programs?

nope. I don't think so. BTW, so how much you've invested in their interest yield program ? Why you're not qualified ? Thanks & Cheers.

That is great. I have never received a bonus from Paypal but they do give me a little extra money each month for accepting the small interest yield they have on the funds I have in there monthly. Did you join the interest yield there? That may be where your extra funds came from.

That's a bit odd. I've been a member of paypal since 2001 and I never recieved any payment bonuses. I don't think paypal even does that. Perhaps you got paid from some other place, but I don't think paypal would do the bonuses. You may want to take a screenshot to prove this. I'd like to see this.

Just a verified personal account and I don't think it's a rebate.

I think that doesn't a bonus because when we want to reg with paypal we have to pay some amount, upon the reg has verified they will refund that amount. so i think that is the refund.

I don't think so because I have been verified for a long time and why the refund happened right now ? Cheers.
