Set up PayPal so you can pay with QR codes. Link your Chase freedom flex as the payment method.

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.
I don't think you read the whole post...
It is only for Freedom Flex.

7% is correct. Here is the breakdown for a recent PayPal purchase I made on CVS.com (same formula applies for in-store):

+ 1% (1 Pts)/$1 on all purchases5.76 pts (pending)
+ 2%(2 Pts)/$1 addl. on Drugstore purchases11.52 pts (pending)
+ Bonus from 4Q 5% category: PayPal23.04 pts (pending)

I'm seeing that as well, and based upon the pending rewards amount, and assuming my math is correct, the 4th quarter Paypal purchases at drugstores earned 11%.
