If you're not planning on buying anything, this can be used to pay your estimated taxes. https://www.irs.gov/payments/pay-...redit-card

There are now two tax websites that use Paypal - payUSAtax and ACI Payments. Their commission is ~2%, so if you pay $1500, you'll net $45 per card ($1500 X .05 - ~$30 fee).
Why is this on frontpage when it ended days ago?
Rip PayPal key. Made these quarters so easy to do.

This is the first time I'm able to have 5% back through PayPal a whole calendar year. I'm surprised my eBay addiction hasn't climbed by now.

How did you manage that? Curious cause 5% back on PayPal year round would be super clutch.

Does this mean I can use PayPal checkout to get a PayPal offer cash back and the 5% by using PayPal from the credit card itself?

Anyone know what time zone this is based on? Have a purchase to make and want to take advantage of it. Does 12:01ET count? 😅

Didn't read threat but: Chase charging service fee for certain PayPal transactions. Is that going to ruin the deal or does it depend on vendor I buy from?

Last year, Paypal app at CVS gave 7% with Freedom Flex (1% base + 2% drugstores + 4% Paypal).

Does this work if you buy a gift card for yourself (ie., Safeway) on the Paypal website and charge it to the Freedom card?

I think this (PayPal/WalMart) is different because both merchants are part of the same promotion.

People are falling to the trick: your points is discounted 25%, then they give you 30% off. So you net gain is 5%. However, if you use Amazon's card, you earn 3%. Therefore, final gain is 2%.

That's not all, often times you can use your points for a 10%-20% discount on gift cards.

This is really funny that so many are falling for this and so happy to give a 5 star. Smilie

I am not sure what you are saying.

Q3 2021 was also Walmart and Paypal.

I have a spreadsheet that I kept to double-check Chase's points.
It was spot on 7% buying VISA gift cards using Paypal (default payment set to Freedom Flex) at CVS.
I just had to find a cashier who knew how to let me pay with Paypal app.
After VISA gift card activation fees, it comes out to 5.81%

Do these rotating categories stack with the 5% cash back welcome bonuses?

I got the recent 5% cash back on groceries for welcome bonus and was wondering if it will stack with the 5% back on groceries rotating category when that comes around next year.

If it still works as it did last year then the bonuses will stack, but only 4% + 4% + the normal 1%, yielding a total of 9% I believe.

Chase is having temporary issues activating cards.

I just went to activate my card and there seemed to be a missing piece on the webpage and no place to activate it. On a different page it said that I missed the activation window.

I called the number on the card and was told that this is a known issue and it should be resolved soon.

Is there any PayPal fee for paying utility bills using Chase Freedom Flex as funding source?

A Redditor in Xfinity PayPal Bill Pay [reddit.com] mentioned being able to see Xfinity as a provider choice to pay using PayPal. Xfinity does not appear for me in PayPal app as a possible choice. Anybody here paid Xfinity using PayPal with funding source being CFF and get the 5% CB/reward?
