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.

Quote from NeatHeart158 :
Can you use a single use virtual pay later credit card to get this deal or is it only at checkout of online stores?
https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/...--help1298
Anybody try this?
AI says it should work. But be nice if somebody has tried virtual credit card. I think can be used anywhere Mastercard is accepted.
Based on PayPal's terms, you should be able to get the cashback and then pay off the loan early to minimize your interest payments.
Here is the breakdown of the two parts of your plan:
1. Eligibility for the Cashback Offer
  • Yes, the in-store virtual card is eligible. The offer you are referencing (which is listed as a Special Offer for 20% cash back on up to $1,250 spent, according to the terms, though the base offer is 5%) specifically applies to purchases made using either Pay in 4 or Pay Monthly.
  • The virtual one-use card is simply the mechanism that completes your in-store transaction using a Pay Monthly installment loan, making the purchase an "Eligible Purchase" for the reward.
2. Early Payoff and Keeping the Cashback
  • Yes, paying off the loan early should not forfeit your reward and will save you interest.
  • Interest Savings: You can pay off the full balance of your Pay Monthly loan at any time without a prepayment penalty. Because you stop interest from accruing on the remaining principal, this action saves you money on the total interest you would have paid over the full term.
  • Reward Risk: PayPal's terms state that the reward may be delayed or reversed if the purchase is refunded or if loan payments are not completed as agreed. Since paying off the loan early is considered fulfilling the loan agreement (and is encouraged by saving you interest), it is not considered a default or non-completion. The reward is earned at the time of the purchase.
Summary of Your Strategy:
  1. Use the virtual card in-store to complete a purchase using Pay Monthly (making sure you have "saved the offer" in the app first).
  2. Receive the cashback (in the form of PayPal Rewards Points) after the purchase is confirmed.
  3. Pay off the remaining loan principal as soon as possible via the "Pay Later" section in your PayPal app to stop interest accumulation.
This approach allows you to secure the cashback offer while minimizing the cost of the interest, maximizing your savings.

Assuming you chose pay in 4, it looks to me that you'll get the rest of the rewards as you're charged every two weeks until paid up
Can you please explain this 'charged every 2 weeks until paid up?' Planning to buy Klipsch speakers from Crutchfield, total comes to $5800. If I split into multiple transactions and use pay later, can I get this deal of 20% off in each transaction as max spend limit for each is $1250 or so?

Purchased $1250 worth of instacart gift cards (we use them for costco and groceries). I wanted to buy a gift card that could be "applied" to my account so that I don't have the risk of a high value gift card getting zeroed out randomly. Instacart applies it to your "wallet" once you redeem it, similar to Amazon gift cards.

I temporarily lifted the freeze on my Equifax, chose "pay in 4" and selected my BofA Cash Rewards card as the payment method. It went through successfully and I see the points pending.

Made two purchases and points were pending immediately. My chase card wasn't an option for pay 4 so I used my chase bank account. This was around lunch time today

I still haven't had the first payment taken out of my checking account. Anyone else have a similar situation?
