$5 Free Paypal e-mail.

[Strapped4Cash]

I don't usually look too closely at e-mails from PayPal, but I noticed that I had one that arrived Sunday night at 7:13PM PST titled "Surprise! FREE $5 from PayPal".

It appeared that the intent is for people to shop for regular items (gift cards and certain other things are excluded). I clicked on a "Shop Deals Now" blue sign in the ad which took me to PP and logged in, in case that was necessary. Soon after, I went to WBShop, selected Paypal for Checkout, and after some delays that I think were entirely due to WBShop, then Paypal had a free $5 credit automatically applied to my payment.

I don't know how any might have gotten this, but I'd recommend checking in case you have a free $5 from them.
