Once per year, the holiday shopping season is approaching. Other than the merchants that are trying to increase the sales. Our beloved credit card issuers, and other payment processing providers like Paypal are also trying to promote their own services. If you are lucky, you are now receiving an invitation from PayPal regarding a 5% cashback for the coming shopping season.

The invitation goes to my not-frequently-used PayPal account. The title of the email is: By invitation only: David, get 5% cash back all season long.

By receiving this email, you are pre-selected by Paypal to get a 5% chance to get more rewards for your holiday shopping.

The content of this email:

You’ve been selected to receive a special offer: PayPal Cash Back Rewards. After your second PayPal purchase, you’ll earn 5% cash back on your additional PayPal purchases* through December 21st. And with one-step sign up, you’ll be earning cash back in no time.

SO you need to sign up via click the link in the email to be eligible to get the rewards.

Some important points about this prmotion:

Receive 5% cash back (”Cash Back Rewards”) on your 3rd purchase and each purchase thereafter through December 21, 2009 (excluding tax and shipping), made from any participating U.S. merchant when you use PayPal as the payment method (”Offer”). Purchases made at eBay.com do not qualify for this Offer. Offer begins on November 3, 2009 and ends December 21, 2009 or as long as the Cash Back Rewards Offer is available on the PayPal site, whichever occurs first. In order to receive this Offer you must 1) have a U.S. PayPal account in good standing, 2) receive an email directly from PayPal inviting you to participate in this Offer, 3) register for the Cash Back Rewards Offer, when prompted to do so, using the same email address where you received the Offer invitation, and 4) complete two purchases. Your third purchase, and each purchase you make after that, will qualify for the Offer, as long as they are completed by December 21, 2009. The maximum amount of cash back under this Offer is limited to $20 USD per purchase, and a maximum of $200 USD per PayPal account from November 3, 2009 through December 21, 2009. The cash back will be deposited into your PayPal account between November 19, 2009 and December 30, 2009, based upon your transaction dates.
