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.

This offer is wierd. I used it to make a purchase at Best Buy yesterday and it appeared everything went through. I see the charge on my Paypal and my Amex credit card. This morning I checked Bestbuy and the item is still in my cart for some reason. I had to call Paypal custeomer service to cancel the transaction. Now I try to do it again and the Pay in 4 option is no longer showing up during payment with Best Buy. I just went to Target website and click to buy some random item to see if Paypal Pay in 4 works and the option is grayed out with Target as well.

Just made a purchase minutes ago. Deal isn't dead, likely something else is the cause of you not seeing it. I'm guessing they only allow so many concurrent Pay in 4 purchases going at once.

PayPal has an app only product for BNPL which generates a virtual card to use instore for Pay Monthly purchases starting $49 and above upto $10k. I believe this will get us the same 20% cashback. The virtual card can be added to apple or google wallet and use anywhere mastercard is accepted instores. Use app and click on 20% offer banner to go to app flow.

This is another way to purchase where we dont see merchants accepting PayPal online

The 20% cashback, is that in addition to whatever points you normally get? I ask because I made a purchase at Samsung, and it was about $1600. Instead of getting $250 of points, I got about $291.

Don't be surprised if you get denied now. I tried to make a purchase. The PayPal window closed before I hit confirm and then I got two pending pay in 4, but the order was never made. Pay in 4 was removed form account. Then the pending transactions went away after a couple days and I was denied for unusual activity.
I was already denied. That's what I said in my message you replied to - I was denied for unusual activity right after the Walmart cancellations on another attempt. But last time that happened, Pay in 4 appeared the next day. The difference this time, is that those pending ones (that were canceled) are still showing pending now 17 1/2 hours after they were immediately canceled and for about $1000 in purchases vs. a small canceled purchase last time that was pending. Last time, someone at Paypal (phone support) cleared the pending Walmart one off. So, I might try to reach out to them again to remove these that are still there.

Quote from LivelyMusic493 :
First question for the smart folks here: does PayPal have access to the invoice details of the transactions? Say if one has a purchase of mixed items that happens to include a "stored value card" would PayPal be parsing through all of the individual items to determine points applied? How is that stipulation even enforceable?Second question, can this offer stack with other cashback services, or does PayPal take credit for the cashback "referral"?
Yes, PP transaction has the detail of the purchased items

How long does it take for points to show up in your paypal account? I made a couple purchases using BNPL yesterday.

Correct, you read it the same as me. And I followed up with AI, and it agrees.Plus that fits with the other line I quoted from the terms, which is even more clear on the matter:Exact words " For each Eligible Purchase, each Eligible Participant will receive a maximum of 25000 Points, which can be redeemed for $250 cash or other options (the "Reward") per Eligible Purchase."
That's for 5% CB with 5000 spent offer, not the special offer

But does PayPal even know what you're buying? For example, I assume they only see a $1000 purchase from Home Depot, not that you bought a $1000 Gift Card. Similar to Amex deals, that purchase would always qualify even if the terms state not valid on Gift Card purchases.
I ordered a HD product, and PP do show the detail of the item in the transaction info

Wait one or two days and try again. It might be back. If the transaction is fail for some reason, the pay in 4 option, might disappear for one or two days. That is I found.

No, that's the terms on the 20% offer.

See:

https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=180395332&postcount=1464&peid=59e24db9-b61d-4348-862a-5c098f7ad40a

I also ran the terms through a different AI engine, and it agrees with me also:

This caps any single Eligible Purchase at $250 in rewards (25,000 Points), regardless of the rate (5% or 20%).
At 5%, that means rewards on up to $5,000 per purchase (5% of $5,000 = $250).
At 20%, that means rewards on up to $1,250 per purchase (20% of $1,250 = $250).

It explicitly ties to "each" and "per" purchase, so the cap is transaction-specific, not an aggregate across multiple purchases. There's no language limiting you to one such maxed-out purchase.

How This Applies to the 20% Special Offer Period (Nov 17–Dec 8, 2025)

The terms state: "Eligible Participants will earn Points equivalent to 20% cash back on one or more Eligible Purchases up to $1,250 spent."

The "$1,250 spent" phrasing is ambiguous on its own—it could be read as a total across all purchases or per purchase.
But combining it with the "maximum of 25,000 Points... per Eligible Purchase" line, it's clear the $1,250 limit (and thus $250 reward) applies per transaction.

Official PayPal help docs confirm this: "There is no cap on how much cash back you can earn in total over the duration of the campaign" (beyond the global pool), and they note "caps per transaction given loan maximums." Independent deal trackers also interpret it as "$1,250 in spend per transaction," allowing multiple uses.

Bottom line for 20%: No total per-participant limit beyond what's possible via multiple purchases. You could theoretically earn $250 per qualifying purchase, as long as each is ≤$1,250 and uses Pay in 4 or Pay Monthly. (E.g., two $1,250 purchases = $500 total rewards at 20%.) Pay in 4 maxes at $1,500 per purchase anyway, so you'd hit the reward cap at $1,250 spend there.
