If you have Paypal Key you can get this to work as a Mastercard Debit funded by the Discover. Opens up lots of opportunities.

Log in to your PayPal account and create the PayPal key. Set the Discover card as the payment method for it. You will have a new "virtual" card number, expiration date, and security code that you enter in just like any other credit/debit.
·
As previously mentioned, this awesome with PayPal Key linked to your Discover card. You can treat it like a debit card to avoid a lot of fees, and use at places that don't normally accept PayPal (like Amazon), allowing you to get the 5% bonus on the Discover

1. Make sure your Discover card is activated for this deal.
2. Pay with PayPal using the PayPal payment option.
3. Tell PayPal you are paying using your activated Discover card.

I cannot find the 5% calendar. My is just the regular 2%.

Maybe your card is not "Discover it"

If eligible you can check with discover for product change.

Well I just tried paying our auto taxes with Key and the message I get is:

"Your Bank did not authorize this transaction. Please validate payment information or use a new payment device. We're Sorry, your attempt to make this payment has failed."

The processor is Point and Pay (with a special frontend for the town but that's the processor and domain).

I don't get ANY messages on Paypal/Key or Discover - the charge is rejected outright for some reason.

Can people confirm if I pay a private party or other people(e.g. Craigslist, Facebook marketplace, Nextdoor purchase), and eat the 3% fee, will I still make the 2% remain?

Thanks.

I am a little surprised that sending money to Friends and Family count too. There is a 3% fee, but still I can make 2% cashback. Has anyone tried it?

Yes until you reach the spend threshold of $1500. Just make sure to always have the best card backing up the paypal key. Example:

Chase Freedom 5% when they do Paypal
Discover 5% when they do Paypal
Bank of America Cash Rewards 3% for online. Works for most transactions but not bill pay like the first two do.

More Examples. Use the Pay Pal Key for Verizon payments. It classifies as a debit and you still get CC spend on whatever card you are tied to. Use the Pay Pal Key to reload Amazon 2% bonus on gift card reloads. This ends on 7/29 but if you are already enrolled change your debit to Pay Pal key and get 7%. May be suspended now but not sure for new sign ups.

Easy Money. "buy low--live high"

Can you clarify please what do you mean by Bill pay ? Credit card bill can be paid by PPK ? Or some other type of Bills ?

Most bills paid via pay pal key and backed by BOFA cash rewards will not count as online purchase. That is all I mean. The other two, Discover and Chase do get the full 5 percent via PPK. Feel free to keep asking ?. I have learned the ropes on this thing.

FYI, I have had some bills show up as online purchase and I got the 3% but I have resorted to just using my Citi Double Cash to avoid the risk of just getting 1%.

I guess the reply is on context of using BOA 3% card and not Discover.
