Earn $10 Cash Back for Each Friend You Invite to PayPal

PayPal, a global leader in digital payments since 1998, offers the Invite Friends Program as a way for its U.S. users to earn extra cash back by referring friends to join and use PayPal. This program is designed to reward existing PayPal users for helping expand its user base while providing new users with a seamless onboarding experience. Unlike traditional affiliate programs that focus on sales commissions, this program operates as a referral system where participants earn rewards points for each successful referral.

How the Program Works

To participate, you must have a U.S. personal PayPal or PayPal Balance account that is in good standing. Once eligible, you can invite friends who do not already have a PayPal account. When your friend signs up using your unique invitation link and completes specific qualification steps, you earn 1,000 PayPal Rewards Points, which can be redeemed for $10 cash back.

Steps for Referees to Qualify

For you to earn the reward, your referred friend must:

1. Sign up for a new PayPal account using your invitation link.
2. Link a bank account, credit card, or debit card to their new account.
3. Verify their cell phone number.

Complete an eligible transaction within 30 days of signing up. An eligible transaction includes:

Making an online purchase of $5.00 USD or more using PayPal checkout.

1. Sending $5.00 USD or more to another person using the "Send Money" feature.

Earning Limits and Rewards

You can earn up to 10 rewards per calendar year, totaling 10,000 points, which can be redeemed for $100 cash back. Rewards are typically available within 14 days after your friend qualifies, though they may be credited sooner.

Program Terms and Conditions

Referrals must be family members or personal friends/acquaintances. Public distribution of invitations (e.g., posting on social media) may result in disqualification of those referrals.

Certain transactions do not count as eligible, such as charitable donations, PayPal.me purchases, or non-USD transactions.

PayPal reserves the right to modify or terminate the program at any time and may limit or revoke rewards if terms are violated.

Why Choose PayPal?

PayPal is trusted by millions for its security, convenience, and wide acceptance. With PayPal, you can send and receive money securely, shop online without sharing your financial details, and enjoy buyer and seller protection. The Invite Friends Program is just one way PayPal gives back to its users, rewarding them for helping grow the PayPal community.
