Free £30 from Zopa

I wasn't sure whether to put this message into "Savings" or "Loans". I settled on "Savings", because that's my point of view on Zopa, and probably also that of those most likely to be able to answer my question.
I opened a Zopa account shortly after they started up, out of curiosity to find out what rates would be achievable, and to find out my credit rating for free. I have never used it for several reasons, most of which have been explored in detail on this site at some time.
Anyway. A Zopa chap phoned me today and offered to credit my account with £30 for free. "There must be conditions", said I. "Nobody gives money away for nothing". Indeed, there are conditions, but they don't sound onerous. Provided I log on and lend out the money within 10 days, it's mine (when it comes back). The rationale is that I haven't logged on for a while, and he reckons that when people like me go back onto the site and see what rates are available, they like what they see and start using it. Well, I wouldn't be so sure, but for £30 my mind is open.
Has anyone else had a similar offer made to them, and am I missing something?
