Sometimes not all of the people you want to talk to are on Skype. That’s why we have SkypeOut, a pretty cheap way to call landlines and mobiles around the world at local rates. What’s more, we’re giving away 10 minutes of Skype Credit today to anyone who would like to try SkypeOut for free. We’re nice like that.

You can claim 10 minutes of Skype Credit today and try SkypeOut for free.

Hurry, you need to claim your free credit before midnight tonight

If you’re in the USA, you’ll find a “Get a free Skype gift” button on your account page. Hurry. You need to click on the button before the offer expires tonight, then, ‘hey presto’, your account will be topped up with the extra credit. It’s our little gift to you. We hope you like it.


Don’t worry if you’re too late to claim your gift. We’ll be offering SkypeOut Gift Days throughout February and March, so keep checking back on our blog, where we’ll post details as the next one is approaching.

Get more for free when you buy with PayPal

You might also want to take advantage of our PayPal promotion. When you spend a minimum of $10 on Skype services using PayPal, we’ll give you an extra 120 SkypeOut minutes and 3 months Skype Voicemail for free.


Thank you,
The people at Skype

anyone outside usa or with existing skypeout credit or skypein service see this offer?

thanks, it said it would take up to 12 hours to post the credit but it took only about 10 seconds...

anyone outside usa see this offer?

Actually I was in Dusseldorf when I checked my email. I did not see the bonus link but added another 10 euros as my SkypeOut account was down to 38 minutes and I had mucho calls to make. It will be interesting if I snag the PP bonus stuff.

Thank you! Just got mine in seconds!

I am making a note to myself to keep checking the website daily through March. :)

Looks a lot like last July's promo as discussed in this thread from then (http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=451528). So that one must have worked, or they wouldn't repeat it. My credit was there by the time I got back to the main account page a few seconds after clicking for the bonus. Thanks, MisterNice, for the heads-up - that was right nice of you!

Log into your account and claim your freebie, if you haven't done it yet!

A huge thanks for the SkypeOut Day freebie reminder!!!

Sorry for the stupid question:

Where do I see the offer for the free SkypeOut minutes? There's nothing on the My Account page, for example.

It's on the www.skype.com home page.

It's on the www.skype.com home page.Don't see anything - oh well. Thanks for the tip though.

All you have to do is:
1. sign in to your Skype account. (You can do it from the top tab in www.skype.com)
2. After sign-in, you will see the Overview Page. The 2nd section is the "Skype Gift Day." Use the link there to claim your free minutes. Those minutes usually get posted in 2 seconds.

Hope this helps!

Maybe you have to have paid and subscribed to Skype Out first to seee this ??

I double it. I first opened my Skype account last summer for the sake to claim their free anniverary Skypeout giveaway minutes. I haven't subscribed to any of the paid services and bought paid minutes yet. I have no problem seeing the free gift in my account when it's the right day.

BTW, today is not another free gift day. :(
