Avoid Aliexpress via Paypal. All, yes ALL, transactions are being processed by Paypal as cash advance! Resulting in Credit Card Issuer inflicting a cash advance transaction fee + accrual of daily interest as high as 28% APR! No way to resolve and all three companies (CC, AE & Paypal) will circle jerk the finger pointing of who is responsible with no solution. Reddit is exploding with many customers getting hit with these fees in the tune of 10's and even 100's of dollars. Avoid!!!

Paying the balance early in Pay Monthly won't violate the terms.

Remove your PayPal account from eBay payment first. Now after making a purchase, it will redirect you to PayPal, pick 'pay in 4' from there.

Anyone know a place you might be able to get Steam giftcards with this? Would be nice to be able to use on a Steam Machine in a month or two.

A freeze is not supposed to affect a soft credit inquiry as Paypal claims will occur. A denial of "Unable to access your file on credit bureau due to a freeze." implies a hard pull. Hmmm, something smells with this offer......

You can get digital cards at GameStop's site and the pay in 4 option showed up as long as your purchase is over $30.

Here are a few online places that sell Virtual Visa or Mastercard gift cards up to $500 and are known online retailers where PayPal is often an accepted payment method (either directly or via PayPal's own payment processing on their checkout page):
  1. PerfectGift.com:
    • ​They offer Virtual Visa Gift Cards in values from $10 up to $500.
    • ​The website states you can "Checkout Securely – Pay with a debit or credit card." While it doesn't explicitly mention PayPal, many online checkouts that accept credit/debit cards also integrate PayPal as a payment gateway.
.
  1. Kroger (or Kroger Family Stores Gift Card Mall):
    • ​They sell Visa and Mastercard eGift Cards and physical cards.
    • ​They mention instant email delivery for eGifts.
    • ​You would need to check their checkout process to confirm if they accept PayPal, as they are a major online retailer and often have various payment options.
  2. Staples.com:
    • ​They have a gift card section and list Visa and Mastercard Gift Cards in their selection.
    • ​They list a "Shop $250-$500" category, which suggests they carry cards in the value you are looking for, such as a Visa $300 or Home Depot $500 gift card (which might be a good alternative if you plan to use it at that specific store).
    • ​Staples is a major online retailer that typically accepts PayPal.
Important Note:
​When shopping at a retailer like Staples or Kroger, you may be able to use PayPal by selecting it as a payment method at the checkout screen. Even if the gift card company's site (like PerfectGift) doesn't explicitly list PayPal, if they accept major credit cards, you can sometimes link your PayPal account to be used like a debit/credit card during the checkout process.
​Always check the seller's specific terms, fees, and accepted payment methods at their final checkout page before completing your purchase. Gift cards, especially higher denominations, often have an associated purchase or activation fee.
Here are a few more ......
  • Giftcards.com / Gift Card Mall / The Gift Card Shop: These are some of the biggest dedicated online gift card sellers, often linked on Visa and Mastercard's own sites. A user comment in the search results specifically suggests Giftcards.com (which is run by Blackhawk Network) accepts PayPal. They are known to carry high-value Visa/Mastercard gift cards up to $500.
  • Walgreens: Walgreens' online store lists Visa gift cards and states a limit of $500 per card. As a large national retailer, they typically accept PayPal during their online checkout process.
  • Target / Best Buy: These major electronics and general merchandise retailers sell a variety of Visa and Mastercard gift card denominations, including higher values. While they accept PayPal for general merchandise, you will need to confirm at checkout if there are any restrictions on using PayPal specifically to purchase "open-loop" gift cards (like Visa/Mastercard), as some retailers do restrict this to prevent fraud.
A critical note about fees and PayPal:
  • Activation Fees: Most high-value Visa/Mastercard gift cards, whether physical or virtual, will charge a purchase or activation fee (often around $4.95 to $6.95), meaning a $500 card will cost more than $500.
  • Payment Restrictions: It's important to remember that some retailers may restrict PayPal as a payment method for Visa or Mastercard gift cards, even if they accept it for other products, due to the higher risk of fraud associated with purchasing one type of stored-value card with another digital payment method. Always verify the accepted payment methods at the final step of the checkout process.

still pretty close to cb which is how I see it
redeemable for BestBuy, Walmart, eBay, instacart, ubereats, or doordash (all of which I shop at often)
Yes, those one perso offers are great, I always convert them to Walmart or eBay. Should I tell you my LG offer was 45%? Big Grin although expired now.
