Is the PayPal Holiday Giveaway Free Entry Method working?

[haedworm]

So I just bought something from a store I haven't used before and in my order confirmation it says 'Your offer covered your entire purchase' and sure enough I haven't been charged anything.

I wasn't aware of any offers (though of course I am extremely happy) and looking through the archives here someone has previously asked the same question.

Does anyone have any idea why this happened?

I sell items on ebay and noticed since yesterday have had same message and looks like I'm not being charged for postage labels I purchase on packlink

if you go to PayPal account under wallet and scroll down it should say offer. I got a £25 gift offer to spend for Christmas

Thanks!

I couldn't find an 'offers' section in the app, but on looking I did find it under the Rewards tab, and there's a bunch more ££'s in there too.
Made my day that has.

Just checked as the same happened to me. I have been given £50.00! That is a nice surprise...

I’m trying to pay for something and it’s saying “PayPal offer £25” and this £25 is off my balance. What is this offer? I didn’t ask for it and it doesn’t look like I can remove it?

And how is this redeemable? It doesn't show up in my balance and wasn't deducted from my subsequent purchase. Is it only redeemable via the offers (which don't interest me - adidas, booking.com etc etc)?

Hello. I've bought something from internet and paypal didn't charge my money! I have an offer that i didn't know about it! Can you tell me what offer is it?
