Free $5 to try PayPal-style phone service
Remember the last time you went to McDonald's with your buddy and he didn't have enough money to buy a Filet 'o Fish? Me neither. I prefer to order off the secret menu at In 'N' Out, but let's just pretend this happened for the sake of the story. So your buddy borrowed $5, but kept forgetting to pay you back, and eventually you forget your buddy even owed it to you until the next time you were at McDonald's and you brought it up and he said, "I thought I paid you back" and you said, "No you didn't, I would've remembered" and it got a little ugly and ultimately ruined your McRib experience that day.
That problem is now solved. You can pay people using your cell phone, sort of like using PayPal, but without the hassle of using the internet. Oh wait, you still have to use the internet to sign up. And get payments. Wait, why is this thing cool? I don't know, but they're paying people $5 to sign up and try it out. (I didn't sign up but that's just bcz I dnt no how 2 txt msg).
