Paypal referral might be broken

So if I made a new account use my phone number would it work and would it be something bad. Don't have freinds to send the referral to

Not sure what you mean? Are you suggesting that you refer yourself to open a second account to get a sign-up bonus?

Basically yea

There is a promotion for if the person you refer spends 5 bucks you and the person you refer will get up to 10 bucks so if I refer myself I would get up to 20 bucks

Isn't your mobile already linked to your existing PayPal account though? Mine won't let me log in these days without a text/call to my mobile as part of the security process.

You can log into PayPal on the internet also I notified PayPal of the loophole

I guess the rules may be different in America to what they are in the UK?

As above - don't think we can do it on the UK paypal system. I imagine somewhere deep in the terms and conditions there'll be something about only having one personal Paypal account - so there's likely a risk that if they work out that both accounts belong to the same person, they may block both accounts, but that's just hypothesis.
