Do you remember the TRU/pay by paypal deal at Christmas?

Hi! Not sure if this is where I should be posting this, so if this is the wrong place I apologize. Anyway...does anyone remember before Christmas the deal where if you bought something at Toys R Us online and paid by paypal you were supposed to get 20% off....and the 20% would be deposited into your paypal account? If memory serves, I believe you had to spend over a certain amount (150.00??) and the money would be put into your paypal account no later than January 31st. I'm not 100% sure on the amount you had to spend, but I am fairly certain the money was to be in the paypal account by Jan 31st.

 

I took advantage of this deal and we bought our son the Lego Death Star online from Toys R Us. But, so far, I have not seen any money go into my paypal account. Does anyone remember this deal? If so, who was the 20% coming from? TRU or Paypal? I am going to be calling somebody about this....but wanted to know who to call before I waste my time calling one just to be told I have to call the other one.

 

Thanks for any help you can provide!!

Hmm, I don't recall seeing the 20% off deal. I thought it was $20 on a qualifying purchase. I could be wrong as I didn't pay too much attention to this.

 

I hope you get it resolved to your satisfaction.

The specifics of this promotion were not clearly stated. Even if you shopped at the stores listed in the promotion, the 20% cash back did not apply to all items. It was misleading. I thought if you made a purchase using paypal you would qualify for the cash back. Unfortunately, that was not the case. I didn't receive any cash back. If you qualified, you should have received the money by January 31.

I used this deal too...got my 20% back very quickly...it was from paypal i believe...but you did have to use a qualifying company and product...i dont remember too clearly (sorry!), but you should've gotten the $$ by now! I'd contact paypal, there is a record of your purchase on your paypal acct so they'd be able to look it up very quickly and clear the situation up, good luck!
