They did one in Sydney recently. Melbourne only had about 17 cafes that were accepting Paypal as of last month. They've increased to 70 for this promotion. I would expect Brisbane would be next…maybe?

Dates
Prizes
Entry Requirements
On October 13 & 14, Paypal will be offering 1c coffees for all cafes in Melbourne that serve coffee and allow you to pay via the Paypal app. There are about 70+ cafes that I can find.
- Simply get a 1c coffee using the Paypal app.
- Take a pic of the coffee cup inside the venue or outside (so that the front of the cafe is visible e.g. the sign). You (e.g. your face) are not required to be in the picture and you can remain an anonymous coffeeholic.
- Put a comment in this comp with the picture. You can upload pictures using My Account - Files or use any other image service (imgur, imageshack, postimage etc.)
Scoring
- 1 point for each cup you get, cap at 10 points.
- Up to 2 bonus points for creative photos.
- Total maximum score = 12
- Only 1 point per venue. (e.g. 3 coffees from 1 venue only count for 1 point)
1st Prize: $50 gift card or Paypal credit + an OzBargain T-shirt.
2nd Prize: $30 gift card or Paypal credit + an OzBargain T-shirt.
3rd Prize: $20 gift card or Paypal credit + an OzBargain T-shirt.
Please do not consume too much coffee (give to friends, homeless, tired looking people).

Should we post the pictures one by one or all at once in a single post? Also what happens if more than three people get 12 points?
Up to you.
The bonus points will be an average of moderators judging. I will specifically be giving my bonus points in part numbers (e.g. 1.4 points) so a tie won't happen (or shouldn't).
I'll get the ball rolling then. Seven Seeds:

Had a look at the POS screen and there were around 10 other people using PayPal at the time I was there!
re: one point per venue - Can I get multiple points if I go to multiple venues of the same brand? e.g.Cacao Green. Earl Canteen
Yeah, thats fine.
Not too exciting but here it is

The process was quite straightforward. A couple of ladies were assisting.
Do you have to put mail-Id of cafe's in paypal app or something?

#heavenlycup from seven seeds. (sound angels and harps)….
don't forget to use your coffee card :)
http://files.ozbargain.com.au/upload/29011/25813/paypal.jpgPlease do not consume too much coffee (give to friends, homeless, tired looking people).
given the cold weather and cheap coffee, consider buying two cups whenever you pass a participating cafe - if you don't want them, then kindly donate them to homeless people or those in need :)

First cup of coffee I've ever bought with a profanity printed on it. (blurred out for Ozb purposes) Good coffeee though. Apparently, they don't usually make many coffees.
Arrived home last night and was so caffeinated that I slept from 7pm to 8 the next day. Overall I had 8 drinks. from 4 stores:
1.Cacao Green Swanston street:
2.Thr1ve
More to be uploaded when "if" I get home again :)
the cafe signs on my pictures are not visible! the coffee cups are all unique though and say where it's from (except for the feast one, hope that's all still good for some points). Thanks!

The Paypal deal has ended. Make sure you get your entries in before the end of today (11:59PM).
Here are the winners… I'm sure all you guys have not been able to sleep waiting for this announcement (or maybe it's just the coffee). It was a tight fight for the top spot between skyriter and superbass whom both have collected 10 cups. Moderators then voted on the creativity of the photos and skyriter came out winning by a tiny 0.23 points. So
- skyriter ($50 gift card + T-shirt)
- superbass ($30 gift card + T-shirt)
- emaydedewhy ($20 gift card + T-shirt)
Congratulations!
Thanks Scotty. Look forward to participate in the next comp.
Finally a competition where you actually get to see who wins and that they are "real" people :D :D
Congrats guys!
Are there any plans to extend this to other capital cities? Brisbane, in particular? :P
