Chip investment bribe

Got the email and chose paypal. Has anyone else received the £30 or does it take a while?

Got the email today as stipulated. Choose £30 amazon gift card. Although still waiting for email confirmation. I presume it takes a while.

For the PayPal option, did you get to choose which PayPal account the reward is sent to?

I chose the PayPal option but it just stated that they will be in touch soon with next steps.

Did you get to choose the PayPal account or was it just sent to the one with the same email address as your registered Chip account?

I also asked for an amazon voucher yesterday. It wasn't instant, but I have just received it on an email this PM.

I've not received the email but find the investment options listed in Chip app very misleading and somewhat underhand in my opinion. The only 2 options shown are S&P500 Tech (listed as 19.94% average annual return) and FTSE100 (listed as 11.58% average annual return). To me those are being used as numbers to tempt people in who don't know any better. Maybe there are more risk warnings if you click further but as the headline numbers I find it concerning that Chip are promoting their investments like this. I'm a long term 100% equity investor so no stranger to risks but this doesn't seem a very clear way to promote them.

I received the e-mail yesterday as expected, chose cash, confirmed and received confirmation that money is sent, but money didn't arrive.  PayPal arrivals were always instant for me so I've e-mailed Chip - £30 arrived to PayPal this afternoon.

I've just checked my investment account and it shows £102.20.  Can't find any statements in the app but I guess the fees were already taken. I was planning to sell/withdraw as soon as I receive the bribe but it looks like my £100 is doing well so far (43 days), may as well leave it there for now.
