  • How it Works: During the Offer Period, an Eligible Participant must click through the Invitation and purchase $25 or more of any of the four cryptocurrencies (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Bitcoin Cash) available via Venmo using a Valid Account. The purchased amount must be for a single type of coin in a single transaction.

Reward should be added to Eligible Participant’s Valid Account by approximately October 15, 2021 but may be available sooner. There is a limit of one Reward per Valid Account.

The Bottom Line

If you didn’t get the email, check your Venmo app. The offer should appear at the top of the main screen.

This is a no-brainer since you’re getting $25 worth of crypto for free. Even if you’re not a believer in a cryptocurrency future, this is a risk-free bet.

I find the offer interesting too because PayPal owns Venmo, but has an identical crypto offer.

I think Venmo is being very deceptive with this offer. I took the bait and purchased $50 of Ethereum from them. I had my Coinbase window open as well to compare crypto market prices. Venmo market prices were a few dollars higher than Coinbase’s but I thought “$25 free crypto” was worth the discrepancy. At the time of my purchase, Ethereum was selling at around $3,525 per token. When I clicked “buy”, the price “suddenly” jumped to $3,550, and then dropped back just as quickly…. Doesn’t take a genius to figure out I just paid for the $25 “Reward” Venmo is going to give me.
