Binance lights up the holidays with $200K Binance PayDay cashback shopping event

Binance, the world’s largest blockchain and exchange, launched its ‘Binance PayDay’ crypto cashback event for users who do their holiday shopping with cryptocurrencies. The exchange offered up $200K in PEPE for 19,480 eligible shoppers who shop from participating Binance Pay merchants.

The promotion will run from November 28 to December 12, 2024.  

Binance will reward Binance Pay users

The crypto exchange announced the launch of its ‘Binance PayDay’ event, offering holiday shoppers the chance to earn a part of the $200K in PEPE cashback rewards. The promotion will be available to the first 19,480 eligible users who shop at selected merchants using Binance Pay.

The event will feature two promotions. 

In the first promotion, shoppers who spend crypto equal to $20 in a single transaction will receive $10 in PEPE back. The cashback rewards will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. The crypto exchange disclosed that each user will only be eligible for one reward in this promotion.

The second promotion will reward the top 100 shoppers who spend $200 and above on Binance Pay through accumulated purchases or as a single transaction at selected merchants.

The exchange clarified that refunds will be considered when assessing the cumulative purchase volume. Shoppers qualifying for the second category will share rewards from a $5,200 PEPE prize pool, and top spenders will receive up to $350 in PEPE.

The exchange confirmed it will use 0.0000190758 as the PEPE/USD exchange rate to facilitate rewards distribution.

“With cashback rewards and a wide range of participating merchants, we’re making it easier than ever for users to shop for everything from everyday essentials to luxury items while enjoying the speed, security, and cost-effectiveness of utilizing Binance Pay.”
