    I got the email but when I went to activate and save the offer it said you may have already activated the maximum number of offers from this Merchant which I have no idea what that means.

    • Amanda

      I got the same message…

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Oh bummer! Maybe wait a bit and check back again.

      • Amanda

        It’s not a big loss as I have saved SO much this Christmas season by following H2S! Seriously!! My husband made the comment to me the other day about the gifts we were able to purchase this Christmas season and how much money we saved! We were seriously under budget this Christmas, and it’s because of the Lord providing the money/resources and H2S team posting the amazing deals!! Thank you SO much for all that you do!

        • Chelsea

          I agree!! H2S is a great blessing to my family. At Christmas and all year long!! Thank you all so much. 🙌🙌we are out of most debt because of you (and Dave Ramsey) and your giving spirit is contagious🥰

          • Michelle

            I agree with both of these comments 100%! Thank you so much h2s!!!

          • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

            Thanks for the kind words, Chelsea! Super awesome you have been able to snag such great savings!

        • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

          You are SO very welcome, Amanda! Thanks a bunch for your sweet feedback! We sure appreciate YOU! Also, be sure to check back again as the offer appears to be working now!

    • Amanda

      I just got off the phone with PayPal, and the message we received means that the 30,000 have already saved and redeemed it. Essentially, the savings are no longer available.

      • Tia in FL

        That’s what I assumed. Not sure why they just didn’t go with a basic “All offers have been redeemed” message! lol

      • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

        Hi Amanda! Be sure to check back again, as it appears to be working now!

  2. Heather

    I got that exact same message when I tried to save the offer

  3. Elizabeth

    I got the offer, then clicked on it and it said “you may not be eligible for this offer check our others”

  4. Rachel

    Got the exact same message.

  5. Caitlin

    Same as the others “Thanks for using PayPal for your shopping deals! You may have saved the maximum offers available from this merchant.”

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

  13. KClee

    I called PayPal. Deal is expired. It was redeemable for the first 30,000 and they have already redeemed.

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Thanks for letting us know! I gave them a call as well and they also informed me it has ended. Bummer! I have expired the post.

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      This is working now if you wanted to try again!

  14. lindak

    No email for me.

  15. Lynn

    Got the email. Late to the party 🙁

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Be sure to try again! This appears to be working now!

  16. Lel

    If you saved the offer earlier it may still be available for you to redeem. I saved it about 7am and got confirmation email. I just ordered subway for kids after school and I got email with discounted total. So they must have 30,000 saved offers and are expecting them to be redeemed today.

  17. jessica

    I was able to early this morning and bought a $5 starbucks card, message said Paypal covered my purchase. Yay! This is a refreshing start to my day.

  18. jessie

    • Bobbie

      Hi, I’m new to paypal. Can you please explain how to use the offer to get Starbucks gift card? Thanks in Advance.

  19. Pia

    Thank you for this. It was in my PayPal acct, I would have never seen it. Thank you to the dear lady who said she got a $5 Starbucks card. I did the same!

    • Amy

      Bought a Starbucks card too! Thanks for the idea!

  20. Rebecca

    Anyone able to find the offer in their account without going through their email? My email isn’t working at the moment, so I didn’t get the email they sent, but I was hoping to find it in my account. Thanks!

    • Pia

      Yes it was there when I logged into my PayPal app. I didn’t get an email.

  21. Christian

    I just did it through the app, it worked great. Did an order on eBay with PayPal checkout and it used the credit.

  22. Sita

    I used my email link first thing in the morning and worked. I finally got something.

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Woohoo! Glad to hear it!

  23. Gina G.

    I got it on both mine & my husband’s accounts!

  24. Grace

    I don’t think it’s expired yet. Maybe only certain customers got the $5. I just used mine on bestbuy.com with no issues.

  25. Angelene

    I got mine, thanks

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      You’re very welcome!

  26. Shannon DeLoach

    I was able to do this offer just now (12.30 PM Central Time) after activating through my email I received. Then used a link through my account to save money on UnTuckit. I used the link offer and also it confirmed the $5 additional. I then received the PayPal immediately.
    Thanks! Nice way to get a pricey shirt my husband has been wanting to try at a lower price.

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Woohoo! Thanks a bunch for letting us know it is working again! The post has been updated!

  27. sborchulli

    If it wasn’t working for you this morning, try again! I tried saving it around 9am and got the same message as above. Just tried saving it again and it saved successfully. I was then able to get the $25 Cheesecake Factory giftcard and 2 slices of cheesecake for $20!!

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      Yay! Thank you SO much! This is working for us now too! I have updated the post!

  28. Alana

    I wasn’t able to get this to work this morning, but I just tried again and it worked! Thanks so much for all the updates! I purchased a $5 Sbux card and it was free with PayPal. 😉 Yay!

  29. Dana

    We’re sorry, the maximum number of offers for this promotion has been reached. Thank you for using PayPal for your shopping deals.

  30. Dipz

    Thank you. Bought a shirt for my son from children’s place.

  31. Jessica

    Just worked for me (wouldn’t work earlier). Got a hat from Target for 19 cents.

  32. Nn4ever

    Gone! Limit reached!

  33. Sarah

    Expired.

    • Amber (Hip2Save Sidekick)

      DARN! Thanks, Sarah!

  34. S

    I get the message max offers reached. 😢

    • Lynn

      Me too 😩

  35. Alison

    I got it to work a few mins ago. Thanks Hip2Save!!!

  36. simeon

    CLEARLY the deals over. Please stop posting the same comments.. 🙄🙄

  37. Shawna

    Just checked I had the email and just activated. I saw that it said dead on here but good thing I tried it anyway

  38. Sara

    Hip2save experts Help please – I called the paypal customer service and they told that the $5 USD mail I received after activating the offer and the first mail I received from Paypal to activate the offer, both are spam emails.
    I activated the offer and used to purchase Cheesecake gift card and I didn’t get the $5 discount. So when I called today to ask about it, the representative was denying that such offer was there from PayPal.
    How can I proceed now? It annoys me that they are telling that both the emails I received from paypal was spam.
