(When viewing the quarterly categories outside of logging in to chase.com, it says info coming soon. However, when logging in to credit card and viewing the details link next to where it shows current categories....see 2nd screenshot I have here.............it shows all the year's categories, including the above Q4 list, which I've attached as pic #1 here.)

Push purchases to PayPal for three months. Walmart.com takes PayPal, as well as most online vendors other than Amazon.

If you haven't hit your $1500 maximum by the end of the quarter, send money to yourself or a family member using PayPal. There's a 2.9% + $0.30 transaction fee, so you pocket 2%.

Edit: I like another posters idea of making a quarterly tax payment using PayPal. 2% fee, pocket 3%. Plus, no risk of it being categorized as a cash advance. https://www.payusatax.com/

You'll get it back with your tax refund.
OP, is this is for Freedom and Freedom Flex cards only? if so, might want to change to "select Chase Freedom cardholders."

This is one of the stranger groups of Chase categories I've seen.
Last years Q4 had Costco and PayPal.

Looking like a good time to ditch my PayPal card.

They cut the non-paypal cb from 2% to 1.5%.

I got a new card that pays 2.625% on everything (BofA w/ platinum rewards)

They don't integrate with quicken. Annoying.

So, the only value the card has was a measley extra 0.675% on PayPal purchases, hardly worth it.

And, for the nail in the coffin, this card at 5% will cream it for the holidays.

The only reason I have a PayPal debit card is to keep it on file with T-Mobile to get the autopay discount. I pay early with my Freedom Flex credit card every month for the free cell phone insurance.

I haven't seen anyone mention using the PayPal app on a phone. You link the Freedom cards to the PayPal app as such https://imgur.com/a/vufLnwi, then you can use it at a POS in person at shops that accept PayPal. You have the app produce a QR code and use that to pay. If you want to try it out, all CVS take PayPal and most of them have self check out. You can also look up gas stations that take PayPal at the pump as well. Also in the PayPal app you can click "more in person options" in settings. This shows you a map of places you can pay in person. It's not complete though, and it's mostly CVSs lol.





It's a bit of finagling for sure, but it's kinda easy to max this quarter. I suspect everyone that's sh1tting on this quarter doesn't know or can't be bothered with this. Also not to mention loads of online retailers take PayPal as well. There was something I wanted to buy last week but since this category showed up, I'm putting that on pause until next Tuesday.


Or you can buy $1500 worth of Big Macs. Whatever.
what about for ios? i see no PP as option

Alternatively VanillaGift accepts PayPal as payment so you can buy no-fee Visa gift cards using the current coupon code. Get the e-gift card version for instant delivery, then add it to ApplePay so you can use for in-store purchases. Pocket all 5%.

Quote from Chupacabras :
Note that this is generally not a PayPal issue, but a vendor/merchant issue. For example, 6 months ago you made a payment to your electric company using PayPal using your Amex, but your vendor in that situation sets up PayPal as a payment method attaching also the card that you used. Any future payments to that merchant with PayPal will go straight to that card. It is similar to setting up direct debit with a merchant using PayPal; every payment period PayPal will just charge the same card. Some merchants like utility companies set up PayPal this same way even though you are intending to only do a one-time payment (I assume because they provide the option for an automatic debit so everything is lumped together).

Having said all that, the solution is to go to the vendor/merchant site under your account and removing PayPal as a payment option. Once PayPal is removed you would then select it again which should provide you with the option to select a credit card (note that the same thing above will happen and that credit card will continue to be used in the future no matter what your PayPal preferred card is). Not a great solution and you just have to remember to remove and re-add PayPal with a different card in these situations (e.g. Discover has PayPal as a bonus in a future quarter and you now want to use Discover with that merchant).

You can also do it within PayPal. It's under "manage autopay" in main menu. Choose the vendor you have set payment, and then in Manage tab you can change your payment method.

Buy gift cards at CVS which does accept Paypal even in-store. 7% = 1% base + 2% drugstores + 4% Paypal

I might try buying VISA gift cards again to see if CVS reversed their policy.

The two CVS near me has a sign near their gift card rack stating not for sale. The staff informed me all the gift cards have been compromised and it's not safe to sell them. Such a bummer.

There are reports that people aren't able to use Paypal to buy VISA gift cards at CVS.

I have bought a $500 VISA gift card for the past two statement cycles with my Citi Custom Cash at Stop and Shop. 4% statement credit + 5%. After the $5.95 activation fee, I net $39.35

Coming up in November and in December, I will be buying two $500 VISA gift cards each month on my Citi Shop Your Way card. I get $150 statement credit on $1000 and 3% points on the $1000 which can be converted to gift cards (Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc)

Chase limits it to $1500 in spend.

Just do paypal debit card, use it online or offline . They give 5% back on category you choose. You can stack others offers shown in app on top of it ( ex: 5% back on Walmart + 5% boost with PayPal debit card). You can get seperate de debit cards for each member in your household to make it min 5% back on all the categories. Plus you can opt for direct deposit and get salary 2 days ahead. Plus you can move to and from paypal to PayPal savings account for 4% up APR.can't beat this

I despise Paypal. I won't give them any more money than I have to.
