Terms & Conditions
By participating in PayPal’s "Invite Friends" promotion (the "Program"), you agree to the following terms and conditions (the "Terms"). PayPal may at any time and in its sole discretion, without prior notice, terminate, cancel, suspend or modify the Program or these terms.
The Program allows you to invite people you know to sign up for a U.S. account with PayPal. You can earn a Reward (defined below) when friends you invite to join PayPal through the Program sign up and complete an Eligible Transaction (defined below). 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 and Overview
You may participate in this Program as a referrer until the Program is terminated or modified by PayPal. If you refer a referee prior to PayPal’s termination or modification of the program, you will still be eligible to earn the reward described below even if the referee does not fulfill the Reward Criteria (defined below) before such termination or modification.
To be eligible to earn rewards through the Program, each referrer and referee must have a U.S. personal (including PayPal, PayPal Balance) account in good standing (“Valid Account”) at the time of participation through when his/her reward(s) are issued.
A referrer may refer a referee by via the referral mechanism in the PayPal app [or on PayPal.com]. The referrer can claim a reward for a maximum of 10 referees per calendar year that satisfy the following “Reward Criteria”: (i) access and complete the PayPal sign up process; (ii) link his/her bank, credit card or debit card to their PayPal account; (iii) verify their cell number linked to their PayPal account; (iv) complete an Eligible Transaction (defined below), and (v) Eligible Transaction must be completed within the first 30 days of completing the PayPal sign up process.
An “Eligible Transaction” means: (a) an online PayPal checkout payment of $5.00 USD or more using the referee’s new PayPal account that is marked as "complete" in the referee’s account; or (b) a person-to-person payment of $5.00 USD or more using the “Send Money” feature within PayPal (sent to anyone other than the referrer) using the referee’s new PayPal account that is marked as ‘received’ by the recipient.
Transactions that have been canceled, refunded, or reversed by either the referee, referrer, or the seller do not count as Eligible Transactions.
You may only refer family and personal friends and acquaintances. Additionally, you must not publish or distribute the invitation to participate that you received from PayPal in public locations (online or otherwise) where the audience is likely to include people who are not your family or personal friends/acquaintances. If you do so, PayPal may disqualify you from participation in the Program and any successful referrals will be void, in PayPal’s sole discretion.

There is a limit of one (1) Reward per referee Valid Account for the duration of the Program (each worth a $10 cash equivalent once redeemed) and ten (10) rewards per referrer Valid Account per calendar year for the duration of the Program. If two or more referrers invite the same referee, PayPal will credit the reward to the first person who referred the referee, as determined in PayPal’s sole discretion. The receipt and redemption of Points is further subject to the PayPal Rewards Program Agreement.
Reward should be available in Eligible Participant’s Account Overview within fourteen (14) days after qualifying to receive them but may be available sooner.
