Free Sub

Theres going to be a promotion on Twitch on the 6th September -> 2nd October where new Subscriptions get 50% off, meaning a sub is only $2.50

Im thinking of using this to help grow my stream
Currently im at 245 sub points, the next emote slots are at 400, 450 and 500 points

If people subscribe and I promise a $2.50 refund, (2 days later to avoid unsubscriptions)
Basically message me their username so I can check they're subbed + their paypal email. Meaning I can give away free subscriptions for this month.

The reason I'm able to do this now is because I get the same amount for the subscription minus tax $0.50 - 0.90 + sending over paypal $0.05
In total id have to spend around $130-200 from Tax to get stuff that would help my stream grow.

Perks

-3 New Emote Slots (20 Total)
-Possible Resubs
-People get free emotes for a month

Negatives:

-I'd be missing out on sub money this month from new subscriptions till I hit 500 points
-I'd be losing $130-200 + Income from new subs overall
-Huge sub drop in October
-Have to send out paypal payments everyday for a whole month
