I Put Exactly $100 Into MEXC’s P2P Flash Sale — This Is What Happened Next

This is a true story, told minute by minute… no fluff, no screenshots faked, just what actually happened to a normal guy on December 05, 2025.

1. The Moment I Finally Decided to Try Crypto (And Why That Thursday Was Different)

I had just received $100 from an overseas client via PayPal.

For months I’d been saying “I’ll move some money into crypto,” but every exchange felt like a maze: endless KYC, terrible rates, hidden fees.

That Thursday evening everything changed. I saw MEXC’s “P2P Flash Sale – Instant 5 USDT + another 5 USDT for first trade” blowing up on Twitter. The comments were full of real people posting their instant rewards with timestamps from the same day.

I told myself: “If this is fake, I lose $100. If it’s real, I will finally start.”

I grabbed my phone.

2. Advanced KYC That Actually Took 68 Seconds (I Timed It With My Stopwatch)

19:11 – Downloaded the MEXC app

19:13 – Registered with phone and email

19:15 – Started Advanced KYC. Uploaded a quick ID photo and selfie

19:17 – Notification: “KYC approved – Level 2 completed”

Sixty-eight seconds. I actually shouted “What?!” loud enough that my roommate came running.

No second document. No “we’ll review in 3–5 days.” Just an instant green tick.

3. The Flash Sale Ad That Made Me Laugh Out Loud

19:22 – Went straight to Buy Crypto → P2P → USD → USDT

The very first ad had a bright orange banner screaming “FLASH SALE – NEW USER EXCLUSIVE.”

Rate: $0.982 per USDT while the market was $0.998–$1.002

Merchant had 99.9 % completion and 42,000+ trades

Note in red: “First-time buyers ≥ $100 get instant 5 USDT rebate + 10 % off rate”

I zoomed in three times to make sure I wasn’t seeing things.

4. The Transfer That Felt Like Actual Magic (38 Seconds From Payment to USDT)

19:24 – Entered exactly $100

App gave me the merchant’s PayPal/Zelle details

19:25 – Sent the money, pressed “I have paid”

19:26 – Thirty-eight seconds later the USDT dropped into my spot wallet

Before I could refresh, a full-screen pop-up:

“Congratulations! Flash Sale success – 5 USDT reward credited to your Futures account.”

I was supposed to get ~101.8 USDT from the trade.

I actually received 106.8 USDT.

The 5 USDT reward was real, instant, and already sitting there.

5. The Second 5 USDT That Dropped While My Coffee Was Brewing

The promo said “complete one spot or futures trade within 7 days for another 5 USDT.”

19:35 – I bought $8 worth of BTC on spot (literally any trade counts)

19:37 – While pouring coffee, notification:

“New-user task completed – 5 USDT futures bonus credited.”

Total free money in under 26 minutes: 10 USDT.

6. Day 3 – I Checked the Rewards Again Just to Be Sure They Were Real

I was scared it was a glitch.

Opened Assets → Bill → saw both transactions clearly labelled:

• 5 USDT – P2P Flash Sale Rebate (Dec 05 19:26)
• 5 USDT – New User Trading Task (Dec 05 19:37) Clicked into each one — both showed as “completed” with transaction hashes. I even transferred the 5 USDT from futures to spot just to confirm I could move it. It worked perfectly.

7. Day 7 – What I Did With the Free 10 USDT (And Why It Keeps Growing)

I took the 10 USDT bonus and threw it straight into the 28 % flexible savings pool.

It’s now earning me ~$0.77 every single day with no lockup.

In 30 days that single $10 gift will pay me another ~$8 in interest.

The original $100 I sent is also in the same pool earning daily rewards.

So my very first crypto move is literally paying me to learn the rest of the app.

8. The Math That Still Makes Me Smile Every Time I Open the App

Money I sent: $100

USDT I should have received at normal rate ($1.002): ~99.8 USDT

USDT I received from the Flash Sale rate + reward: 106.8 USDT

Extra trading task reward: +5 USDT

Total USDT in wallet: 116.8 USDT

Real cost per USDT after everything: $0.856

Instant savings + free money value: ~$16.80 profit on a $100 buy

That’s a 16.8 % “return” before I even thought about trading.

9. Conclusion: If You’ve Been Waiting for the Perfect First Move, This Is Literally It

I’ve onboarded on eleven different exchanges.

Not one of them ever gave me money the moment I finished KYC.

Not one of them ever gave me a better rate than the open market.

Not one of them ever dropped two separate rewards automatically without me begging customer service.

MEXC didn’t just make onboarding smooth.

They made it profitable from minute one.

Advanced KYC in 68 seconds.

Instant 5 USDT the moment you buy it.

Another 5 USDT the moment you make one tiny trade.

And the whole thing works perfectly with PayPal, Zelle, or any bank transfer.

If you’re still sitting on the fence with your PayPal balance or bank account watching inflation eat your dollars, the Flash Sale ads are still live as I type this on December 05.

The orange banners are still at the top of the P2P page.

The merchants are still verified.

The 5 + 5 USDT is still dropping instantly.

Your first move has never been this easy, this fast, or this rewarding.
