Paypal surprise - I have bonus from them?

Malaysia

I logged into my paypal account a while ago and am surprised to see that $1.95 was credited into my account. The note stated that it was bonus. I did not know how this bonus came about. Can anyone advise me? I'd be glad and won't ask any more questions if paypal is to credit me bonuses every day or week. He he. Make it 195$, it feels even better.

To be honest, this doesn't make sense at all! Might it be a refund of sort? Yet then again, you said it is bonus.. hmm... want to mail them about it? I would be curious to know too. Since the amount is so small, it won't be a big loss even if they were to take the $1.95 back. :P

Uh uh! It is finder's keeper for me now. Anyway, what's $1.95 to paypal when they are probably multi million dollar company. My only hope now is that more bonuses come in and I don't care where they come from.

check the details about the payment so that you can get some idea from where you got the bonus.i never heard paypal giving bonus for its members.they will only give interest for your money.Anyway congrajulations for getting bonus and wish you to get more everyday,everyweek.

Yup, I did check the details. It said bonus as well. No other information. Maybe, paypal is giving out interest. I am still hoping that the answer will come from some of the members. Better not ask paypal. I might find the 1.95 taken away as fast as I saw it in my account.

Wow I have never seen or heard of this before but I wouldn't be questioning it either , if they want to give you a bonus for something then all there all the better for you lol . Maybe next time you will have more :)

I wonder if you have a friend who has signed up for a paypal account using a referral link you have given them as paypal pay bonuses if you bring in referrals and this could be the explanation.

You really had a bonus??? I wish I have too. Paypal must be generous with you. What did you do for them? You must have given some good reports about them somewhere and their president read it and decided to reward you. Ha Ha Ha.

That sounds very generous from their side. All they have ever done to me is charge me more then I was suppose to be charged. Congratulations

Wow I've been with PayPal for years and years and I've never gotten a bonus and I have hundreds of dollars a month going through there - and they take a percentage because I have a business account :(

i would contact paypal and have it checked out. If your only using it to get payments from here i would find out where it came from. I have used paypal for years and alot of things and i have never heard of them giving out any kind of bonuses.
