The Bottom Line

Originally, PayPal offered $10 of free crypto when you spend $10 on crypto. They just increased it to $25.

Venmo also has a $25 crypto promotion with similar terms – details in this post. Might as well take advantage of both deals.

I wouldn’t use PayPal to buy crypto because a 5% transaction fee is high, but I’ll make an exception for a deal that gives you more in crypto than the fee itself. This offer requires $100, so a 5% fee on that base comes out to $5.

Rather than collecting Bitcoin, I’m diversifying my cryptocurrencies a little bit and bought Ethereum. I got the $25 PayPal reward within seconds of completing my purchase.

  1. I don’t understand, did they reactivate this offer? I got a notification sent to my phone today (2021/10/5), but it seems like it’s too late to qualify.

  2. I just did it, will I be able to see the $25 reward in my PayPal balance? Or will there be an option to use the $25 at the point of checkout?

    Reply
  3. Do you have to use the $25 in one transaction? I remember getting the $25 back but I can’t seem to find where it was added anymore.

      • So I dont have to actually redeem it to use it? It just automatically gets applied on my next valid purchase? So itd be applied just buying $25 more of crypto through PayPal?

        • NO. Go back to the top and read #5 under “Eligible Purchase(s)”. “Eligible Purchases do not include: (5) purchases of cryptocurrency with PayPal”.
          You CAN purchase more crypto elsewhere though like on Coinbase. They accept PayPal and you’ll get the free $25 right away.

          Use this Coinbase coupon / referral code and we’ll both get an extra $10 FREE.
