Birthday Coupon?

sydney-diecast-kingdom — Sun, 30 Aug 2015 05:57:59 GMT

I think last year I received a Redemption Code to use on my birthday. I think it was 10% off any purchase and was good for 7 days or something I can't recall exactly.

Didn't seem to get one this year. Does it still exist?

It certainly is not a regular feature of ebay.

I have been a member for over 10 years and have never had a birthday coupon.

I got one this year on my newer account that I dont use much (at all), but not my regular account.

I received an email from eBay looking forwards to my birthday.

I found it quite insulting...it was hey, great, it's your birthday, come and spend up big on all the entertainment stuff you will need like outdoor furniture and other assorted bleep. No discount offered of course. Getting on for 12 years here. So be happy they thought of you in a nicer way 🙂

Wow, maybe I should be glad they did not remember my birthday.

The only person to send me any "offers" for my birthday this year was my optometrist....I was offered free testing for diabetes related eye diseases if I booked before October. Seeing that I paid for those very tests earlier this year I was not about to have them done again before next year,

That's a shame about the timing of the free tests.

Hope all's good with you Lyn.

Yes, Amber, all is good here but I do get a bit upset when I read of all the vouches and freebies that ebay are handing out to to newcomers and low volume buyers while they ignore those of us who have supported them for many years.

I don't think I've ever had a coupon either girls, but maybe that's because eBay sends me lots of lovely CS questionnaires.........

Which I very diligently fill in......................Oh, hang on THAT'S why I don't get any freebies..............

Hiya Padi 🙂

Lyn, it seems that eBay tends to run an incentive program rather than a rewards one.

The more one spends the less one gets.

I got a birthday voucher 10% off only a few months ago, so yes they still exist

They didn't see fit to send me one in the middle of this month.

Amber I so agree with your assessment.....it is all about enticing members to spend more money rather than rewarding them when they do.

Thats probably why I didnt get one on my main account...
