yobresal · 12-16-2009, 03:45 AM

I got the same thing!!! I have already gladly spent half of it but have no clue what it is for.

Prototype · 12-16-2009, 03:51 AM

Haha Yobresal. Maybe someone's giving you guys donations for all your hard work.

ndrew2505 · 12-16-2009, 04:31 AM

did you make any purchases between the dates of oct 21 - nov 17? from what i just googled it may have been a 20$ back on purchase promotion but theres no way to know for sure..

yobresal · 12-16-2009, 04:33 AM

Turns out it is for spending over $50 at Focalprice or Dealextreme in a single transaction and paying with paypal. There were many other vendors participating in this as well. Read below for more information. I would have bought a bunch more crap had I know this. Payouts up to $100.

Man I didn't get anything, and I made an $80 DX order on October 25. Shouldn't I qualify for the $20 cash?

Yeah, I knew about this deal before and purchased the last day particularly because of it. I recently got my money back as well. I should've posted it on the forums, but I wasn't sure if it was a scam or not, and I found out the last day of the deal anyways =/. But, next time I will post for sure!

jasonck08 · 12-22-2009, 07:50 PM

You guys are funny. It was part of a paypal promotion. I did the promotion with 2 of my paypal accounts and got $20 back in both of my accounts. Excellent promotion!

rangedunits · 01-19-2010, 02:55 PM

Wow, i guess its for united states only... cuz i got nothing in my pp.
