edit: nvm just checked and it was a statement credit not points lol
Can you explain the .95% vs 1% calculation on the payment end of things?
All Citi merchant offer rewards are posted as a statement credit. You don't get reward points on statement credit. In this case $100 PayPal transaction will earn you:
$1 - on purchase
$5 - merchant offer (it will be posted as a statement credit)
$0.95 - on payment (100 - 5 (statement credit)).
Grand total = $6.95 or 6.95%

Oh ok, I get it now. I was afraid I was overlooking something on standard 1+1 transactions. Thanks!
Eh it's 25 cents
Citi rejected to pay the reward and said not much they can do. This is a big scam.

You didn't check out through PayPal.

So you can tell either Citi or PayPal tried not to honor the reward by playing words of game on the statement.

My lesson: never do airline purchases via PP with Citi offers. Personally, I think because airline tickets are usually high price items the airlines do some Paypal gymnastics in the backend and Citi is either playing dumb or not recognizing it.
