Ebay/PayPal Redemption Coupon Test

By temp2escape ⋅ October 6, 2008 ⋅  Email This Post ⋅  Print This Post ⋅ Post a comment

Coupon redemption codes is being offered by Ebay/PayPal. Entitling customers to purchase discounted products from the famous auction site, www.ebay.com. The coupons however is being offered only to a selection of customers. It means, one can use the codes by invitation only.

I didn’t get one.

I’ve googled for the coupons and found out several websites publishing random coupon codes. Various people claimed to have had different success rates with them.

Hmm… I would really like a discount as I’m about to make payment for an item now. Let’s give it a shot!

The code: CRTSY08JLY25
Discount: US$25.00 off

1. The total payment is US$ 89.95. I entered the codes and clicked ‘Apply’…

2. Whoaa… I can’t believe my eyes. It works. The total payment is now less US$ 25.00! Clicked ‘Continue’.

3. Still looks good. The discounted total price is still there. Time to sign in to my PayPal account.

4. No! The total price is now back to normal. An error notification appeared. It says “The redemption code is linked to another PayPal account and can’t be used with this PayPal account“.

I’ve tried other coupon codes as well with no success. No less price for me I guess.

Sigh…
