New Paypal Code

I was over at HotUKDeals and I spotted a new Paypal code!!

The redemption code is CHOICE1 and will get you 5 pounds off a 20 pound spend EXCLUDING postage.

Quoting the forum at HotUKDeals:

"The email address you registered for your eBay and PayPal accounts must be the same in order to redeem your coupon successfully."

Also it seems only some people's accounts work with this code!!

However I am not sure if their E-mail addresses were the same or not?!

    I was sent this code yesterday from ebay. It was because I had been registered with ebay for 4 yrs & was my anniversary treat!!! So I would think it would work but maybe only for certain people.

    I have been with ebay since November 2001.
    I have never received any emails from them offering me special promotions, discounts, codes or anything.

    You are indeed lucky.

    I've failed if that helps!

    Tried to get it to work - even added my ebay email address to my paypal account.

    But no joy.

    Shame cos a £5 would have been a good discount on what I just bought - wish I hadn't looked for vouchers now.

    Neways - hope it helps someone else?

    Thanks

    Just tried it on a £42 purchase and got:-

    "This Redemption Code cannot be used from your PayPal account."

    So it appears it may only work by invite. :(
