Well, I hope on this offer your get only 5% (as you said earlier) and I get 6.95% (as I said earlier). I will update in a month or two after receiving statement credits and usual 2% in TYP. Good luck!

I didn't get the offer on my DC card this time.
This time it is on my Custom Cash card.
The question this time is will they give me 10% for using Paypal at CVS.
DC2%
Asked if it stacks, rep said that it does from what I gathered of his terminology.

Check your statement.
That's how you will know whether $hiti messed up or not. They lag Chase and American Express when it comes to things like this.

1. No it isn't 5% on top of the 2%. (see post 51) - It was and I hope it will be.
2. This doesn't code as a Merchant Offer on the statement. (post 54) - Yes, it does!

Continuing this debate with you is pointless. I know what I got and I can crunch numbers. I will update how much this PayPal offer paid back.
Citi told me: Paypal has known security flaws and vulnerabilities that they refuse to disclose to their customers. They have had these issues for YEARS and not only neglected to fix them, but neglected to tell their customers. If you insist on using Paypal, create a virtual account number (VAN) and once your purchase has been made, remove it and any other financial information you have stored on Paypal. Keep a close watch on your Citi statement and consider setting up fraud alerts.
tl;dr Paypal is an awful company with security flaws they hide and Citi doesn't like them.

They caused the contradictions. Not me.

But it is high irony that Citi badmouths Paypal, when Citi itself has an awfully stupid account lock algorithm.
Many people refuse to bank with Citi.
I had my newly opened Citi checking account locked when I transferred money from my linked bank account to the Citi checking account.

5% cash back for PayPal (up to $75 total cash back till 03/31/2023).
Anything is possible.
I never thought they could mess up 5% for Paypal on Double Cash last year, but they did.
I got 4% + 2% when somewhere here reported getting 5% + 2% and others reported getting 0.

Why would the two be different?
