Google has sent out a promotion to Google Checkout Merchants, notifying them that all new Google Checkout customers get $10 from Google. Technically, this is a $10 sign up bonus, the details explain that if you sign up before February 15, 2007, and you are a new user to Google Checkout, you will get $10 to spend at Google Checkout merchants until March 31, 2007.
This comes following news of Google putting a Google Checkout promotion in the shopping OneBox of the search results pages, which Danny wrote about yesterday with New Google Checkout Promo; New Google Trust Worries.
Read/WriteWeb also notes that the Google home page is currently promoting this $10 sign up reward.
