Yes. I just bought a $10 Google play gift card and instantly got an email about PayPal rewards.

Worked for me, thank you!

Grabbed Roller Coaster Tycoon Classic for $5.99

EDIT:

I think Google Play sells Gift Cards? Might be worth trying out to see if that works as well.

So I ended up paying for this with my PayPal debit card as that's how I've been earning reward points. This shouldn't make a difference, right? Or do I need to use PayPal itself as the payment method?

Edit: had to use PayPal itself as the payment method and I received reward points immediately.

Did this work for anyone who did NOT get the email but the offer still showed up in Rewards section of the PayPal account?

Also if the account has already used PayPal as a payment method before, will it work? Anyone tried this? Does it have to be the first purchase using PayPal? Thanks.

Quote from Mijamdeals :
I took the risk as I have never made a $5 purchase. In July, under a similar promotion, I made a $3 purchase and got $10 back. Figure I'm playing with house money.

All that said, would PayPal show an active promotion in my account, trigger it when the purchase is made, and not give the points 3-5 days later?

We'll see!
let us know if you got the offer for the second time successfully.

Just bought a $15 Lego gift card and got the email about the 1,000 points right away. Time to go see if my fiance has the same offer on her Paypal account, lol.

Anyway to buy Amazon gift cards with this offer? I don't see it in the list of merchants, maybe one of multigift cards has amazon? Or any apps sell amazon gift cards that would count for in-app purchases?

It is expired because you used it. You should get an email in 3-4 days saying your points can be claimed. This was my experience in July the last time they did this offer.

Anyone getting this error while trying to purchase:

"Can't complete purchase. You don't have access to purchase gift cards at this time."
