CVS is one of the few places that take PayPal QR codes as payment. It's been recommended to use self checkout, if possible. Once you add the gift card, DO NOT click any payment method on the self checkout terminal. Instead, scan your PayPal QR code like you are buying something. Then it will allow you to checkout and pay with PayPal.
If it does indeed stack with the 2% back at drug stores as the other thread suggests, that's 11% back on up to $1500.

wow, a little confusing for old folk. what is the best use of this. How to use PayPal to buy gift cards in those categories?
If you live near Giant Eagle supermarkets, they accept Paypal.
Lowe's and Home Depot only accept Paypal on their website, not in their stores.

Is what this OP stating a stackable 5% on top of the existing 5% quarterly bonus going on right now?

which leads me to think that they are capping at 9% not 11%.
In essence, they are making drugstores additional 4% instead of the standard 2%.
If it turns out to be 11%, I will be very happy.
Thanks for the reminder that the next $500 after the $1000 at CVS is still 7% which is nice as well.
That $500 VISA card purchased at Walmart cost me extra $20. :-(

What are all the fees on VISA gift cards? Monthly? Activation? etc.
2. The fees are $5.95 for the VISA gift cards though I have seen some that are $6.95.
No monthly fees.
I use them as straight spend. There may be better tricks on how to manufacture spend with them.
I have a chase freedom, didn't work for me. I see the comment above mentioned flex version of the card. oh well, would'a been nice.

If the Amazon cards are without fee, and in various denominations it seems like the best value?? Can anyone verify that cvs Amazon are fee free? Wish I had used my freedom instead of flex on previous Walmart and PayPal purchases this quarter.

Does that mean I won't get the additional 4% cashback? Is this by email invite ONLY? Thanks.
