PayPal has kicked off a program called “PayPal Select” I was lucky enough to be “on the list” and received an email notifying me to check it out:
I’m not entirely sure how I made it to being their “top customer,” but I’ll take it. As I perused PayPal Select, it seems to me to be another cashback portal mixed with a little bit of the AMEX Sync deals. The vendors are currently limited, but there is a Target offer I took advantage of for a gift card churn.
We’ll see where this goes, but I am curious to see what comes out of this. Remember, if you use PayPal, if the vendor is coded properly you can earn a bonus with your credit card category in addition to portal points. If PayPal Select can team up with more vendors, I’d be incredibly excited for some double or triple dip action.
Got this too and found the invitation and offer somewhat confusing. Very poor messaging and sloppy formatting
I can see what you’re saying on the sloppiness, wasn’t exactly clear
I also received the message and was leery of entering my login information on the PayPal Select site the email link took me to (www.paypal-special.com domain). I called PayPal’s regular Customer Service number 888-221-1161 and reached a live person in under 2 minutes. She said that the email (from paypal@e.paypal.com) and the program are real. She said that we will receive the offers automatically when we pay with PayPal – not just the app, debit cards count also.
Feel free to call and double check… and please post here also if you hear anything different and/or additional. Thanks.
Have a nice day and happy shopping. 🙂
Thanks for doing the homework! It never crossed my mind to call them.
I will be sure to provide updates!
It says gift card is excluded, but I wonder if that’s true.
Hopefully not! We’ll find out soon
