Warning: Do NOT keep a balance in PayPal. I did this for years. My account was compromised (so that say) and 1,800 got snagged. PayPal is a joke

Just for the sake of clarity, 2,500 points = $25 right?

Seems like a lot of overhead and time to get a $25 gift card.

Clicking the link takes me to the Rewards tab of PayPal but this offer is not showing up for me, so YMMV fyi.

I assume this is a "featured" offer, which I didn't have, because it would take me a lifetime to wade through their pages of crappy offers.

I don't think many people can receive the refund that early.

What's the catch? What do they gain from this to make it so valuable they would pay $25 to each person taking advantage of this?

Do not so this. Paypal blocked my account for no reason. Imagine your tax refund was in there, and paypal blocks your account and keeps the money.

meaning you open a PayPal debt and then start funding the account with direct deposits from your job etc. The 25 dollar was the carrot. Ive seen enough horror stories to never use a online only technology solution banking as your primary bank.
