It seems that this offer on Paypal might ONLY work on people who have NEVER used the QR code scan to Pay via Paypal.

I used it on the CVS deal previously ($10 back on $20). Hence the Panda Express deal did not show up for me in Paypal offers in app or desktop.

So this deal likely works for FIRST TIME Paypal QR code users and those who see the offer in the app or the desktop.

This was a disaster.
I ordered $14 food and flash through the machine to scan my PayPal code. I got the email receipt immediately but the cashier said it didn't go through so he will cancel the transaction and let me scan my code. I held the phone for 3seconds toward the scanner, and in fact i got deducted twice off my PayPal.
There's no reward either.
The cashier wrote down my phone number and the manager called back a hour later said i will see the refund by end of the day. He explained that paypal is not working well in their system.
Now there's still no refund yet.

I got the $10 immediately after doing the pay by scan at Panda Express.
I have used Pay by Scan before. Definitely not first time. There was no offer showing up for me in the app. Just the scan worked.

First attempt payment did not go through. Then the cashier said 'Oh Paypal' and did something in his register and asked me to scan again. Then it went through fine.

$14 order came to $4.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank SeikenDensetsu

I just got back from Panda Express and Paypal gave me my cashback on the way home. I used the Paypal app and QR code. Employee immediately understood what I meant and paid very quickly.

There are little machines at the register for scanning QRs. The machines look like this

right next to the credit card scanner. There are little signs at the registers advertising the venmo/paypal devices too.

theres a sign now accept paypal or venmo at the door my location. even inside there are a few more signs. order, pull up QR code at checkout, scan, get a notification pymt, $10 hits paypal acct immediately, done...

Lrg orange chicken w tax$: 11.31-$10 credit = $1.31 net.

May try with Venmo someone said different app/QR code unless they go by email if u sign up as same.

If this is any indication of how PayPal and Venmo will work it sounds like they've already lost. Apple Pay is as reliable as it gets.

This deal did not show up in my app or in browser.
I just went and ordered a plate $9.70 before tax, scanned the app and received a $10 credit immediately to my PayPal account.
Thanks OP!

Seriously? After all that, you caved and paid?

You should have done an about-face and headed for the door.

Don't let people pressure you into backing down...you were in the right; besides the food is

nothing special to begin with. Confused
Exactly this. People walking and calling corporate to tell them about the experience is the only way this stops. Especially if employees are going to accuse people of 'hacking the system' for a promoted ad.

I wonder if it will still work if you did the Venmo one already.
Any answer?

Unlike the venmo promo, with this paypal promo I received the $10 back almost instantly!

The best deal I could find for $10 is a 2 entre plate plus a small appetizer. Or just a large a la carte entre. Also, check out the back of your receipt - you go to panda's website and fill out a quick survey about your experience there and you'll be able to get a free small entre on your next visit if you buy a 2 entre plate. So essentially if you did this already, you can get a 2 entre plate, a small entre and a small appetizer for about a dollar once you factor in tax and receive your $10 from PayPal.

Quote from TTTTTTrent :
I had the same issue in the app, but I was able to change my preferred payment method on the website (it's the "in-store purchases" method when you go into settings and then open the Payments section).

Also, my [android] PayPal app just updated today to a completely new interface, and now I'm able to change the in-store purchases method from within the app. Might want to see if you have an update available.

Good luck!
Thanks for the reply. I just checked and my app was just updated as well and now I see the setting. Thanks for the help.
