Out of the Inbox: PayPal Advantage Congratulations (2011 version)

By Jim Bruene Posted on December 7, 2011
Categories: Email Samples, PayPal, Rewards Programs

Last year I highlighted PayPal’s frequent shopper program, PayPal Advantage. I just received my second annual congratulatory email (see first screenshot below), confirming that I qualified for another year of membership by spending at least $5,000.

While the program seems relatively unchanged, one addition is a 3% discount on StubHub tickets, also owned by eBay (see second screenshot). It’s a nice perk, if you remember to use it (tickets must be purchased via a link from within PayPal).

Bottom line: While I can’t evaluate the ROI from the outside, I can say that as a customer, I appreciate being recognized. And access to Priority Customer Support, though I’ve never tested it, provides added peace of mind.

Marketing aside: PayPal is featuring actual users in their ads. Customers, like Randy H., below, can apply to be featured in PayPal advertising by submitting a story at PayPal.com/castingcall (see third screenshot).
