HIPLUS30

When I went to buy an item, under the item it said: "Pay only AU $0.00 [ Show me how ]". I obviously clicked it and it gave me a $30 voucher in return for a free trial of eBay Plus. Being smart, I immediately created another account to try and get more free things but saw that the voucher was nowhere to be found.

My theories are that it's either because:
- I've made purchases before (if this is the case, how much do you need to spend before this voucher appears?)
- I've had my account for several months (if this is the case, how long do you need to have an account for before this voucher appears?).
- A combination of both.

On the Summary on My eBay page, it shows the voucher, but obviously, I've used it. https://paste.pics/BVUXJ

I don't know whether this is the right place to post this but I'm genuinely wondering why they randomly gave me a voucher. Keen to figure this out for another free $30.

  But $30 isn't a listed value.

    Missed:

    Gift Card $20, Quantity 10,000.

    To redeem this offer during the Redemption Period, enter the gift card code provided in your My eBay account and/or in your registered email into the redemption code box during the checkout process.

    I don't think the prize gift card code would read HIPLUS30.

  Pretty crap if you get a measly $5 eBay gift card when it used to be a $50 voucher at sign up.

      Interesting. My apologies for overlooking that. I might sign up with another email account and try my luck with those gift cards

        Do you need a new PayPal account for a new eBay account. I've had an eBay account for a loooonnnggg time, never received a single promotion. Time for a new account.

          @tunzafun001:

          Do you need a new PayPal account for a new eBay account

          No. I have 10 eBay accounts . They all use the same PayPal.

          I've had an eBay account for a loooonnnggg time, never received a single promotion

          There's your problem. eBay doesn't reward loyalty . You need accounts that sit dormant to be rewarded.

            @ash2000: did you use 10 separate phone numbers or just the same for all?

              @my2cnts: Same name, address and phone details.

              Nothing untoward about it, when I call up eBay I given my phone number, all my accounts pop up on the screen at their end and I direct them to the one I'm calling about.

      How much was the item you were purchasing prior to receiving it!?

      Did it show as a HIPLUS** code or it was delivered by other means?

  • 

    truetypezk on 17/03/2021 - 23:24

    $200 here too, and $20 on another account. Must say that I am pretty surprised.

    Did you clear your cookies and browser history? This might impact the outcome.

      Did not

    I think it is a targeted promo. eBay tends to require certain purchases before sending you these plus sign up promos.

  So I have HIPLUS30 sitting in there offering me a $50 voucher but this deal says I’ll get a gift card delivered so no idea what HIPLUS30 is about. Just started the trial
