$20 free, has this happened to anyone?

[scopeguy20]

I just got a pmt, and it makes no sense to me, but it is a nice thing to get, if mysterious....

I was sent $20 tonight, and there is no email or physical address to send a question or thank you :angel: to. Here's what I do have:

[OutlawZ]

Wow... lucky Well you guys really did a great job in the forums

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]

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?
