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.

If only there was some way to pay with gcs through paypal. haha. I really think I'm not going to be able to find much of anything to sue this offer on unless I get that ubiquiti router. I'm going to get a tv from BB, but wouldn't make sense to do it this way rather than pay for the whole thing with gcs.

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.
Same thing happened to me. Did you call PayPal again to see if there's a fix?

Are we supposed to get any kind of confirmation that the 20% is coming?

I was able to check out with Pay in 4 via Steam surprisingly but didn't get any confirmation that the 20% applied or is coming back as rewards

EDIT: never mind, I just noticed that its shown in the rewards page in paypal at the very bottom. No email though.

Quote from bjai :
i agree with you that the maximum points that any Eligible Participant could earn is not 25,000. if you log into your paypal and see the reward offer, it states that that the 20% cash back offer is "Now through 12/8. From 12/9 - 12/31 offer updates to 5% cash back. 20% from period one and then reverts to 5% afterwards. Below that the more need-to-knows states that "Get 20% on up to max $1,250 spend per transaction. Up to 1.5B points available." I assume this cap limit on purchase amount is a method that they utilize so they could make this offer to more individuals. if people were able to find a high price purchase item that can utilize this offer, the 1.5B points will be depleted faster with less participants.

Now to the offer terms.

Eligible Participant just informs you of the users criteria. residing state, age, good status PP account, and if offer was available.

Offer Period and Special Offer Period. wording is the same for this 2 except the duration period. NOTE THE FOLLOWING: Both states when the maximum number of PayPal Rewards Points available which means the 1.5B is a pool amount between both periods.

How It Works. Although there is a separate section for Special Offer Period, I believe the other detail of the offer still applies to it. It is just a notice to inform that the cash back rate and cap limit on purchase amount is different. Since period one cap limit on purchase transaction is 20% of $1,250 for $250, they also want to inform you that to get $250 rewards at 5% is $5,000 (assume they think you are bad at math).

"Eligible Participant must save the Offer through the Invitation once and then successfully complete one (1) or more Eligible Purchases during the Offer Period." - this statement does not necessary indicate they will add up the multiple transactions up to 25,000 Points max only but only you can make multiple purchases.

Eligible Purchases: indicates the eligible types of payments, that it was purchase during the duration, and what is excludable

"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." - so each individual that lives in the states, as of age, and have this offer available on PP can get up to 25,000 points (or $250 cash) for each purchase that is paid with the method describe within the 2 periods and not anything listed being excluded.

So from that, i interpret that you can get 20% cash back not exceeding $1,250 for each transaction in the first period and 5% cash back not exceeding $5,000 for each transaction in the second period
So you can buy an item of ANY price for this promotion, but then you're capped at $250 cash back in period 1 for it basically?

Also, if you buy an item that costs LESS THAN OR EQUAL TO $1250, you could just pay the whole thing off in period 1 to get the max cash back for that item?

That part is normal. You just have to have been shown the 20% offer in your Paypal account and to have saved the offer prior to your purchase. If you open it again, you should only have a shop button and shows saved at the top, as in the attached screenshot.

No, Pay in 4 is limited to $1500 per purchase.

And NO, you are NOT capped at $250 rewards on this special promotion for the period. That is a PER purchase limit. See my post along with AI analysis.

For some reason after 2 purchased, my PayPal Pay In 4 show unavailable. I paid off the balance of the 2nd purchased but it still show unavailable.
My total with Pay in 4 was around $300, and it should not be capped yet.
Anyone has the same issues?

I used Discover credit card. Chase won't show when initiating a Pay in 4 purchase.

what i wrote is my interpretation from what i read. not sure if this is really how PP interprets it to mean. but i see nowhere indicating max of $250 cash back per account

Period one: you can do multiple transactions. each transaction will get 20% cash back up to $250 only. 20% of $1,250 in purchases is $250.
- so if your receipt total is equal or more than $1,250, you will only get $250 cash back.
- so if your receipt is less than $1,250, you will only get 20% of your total receipt.

Period two: you can do multiple transactions. each transaction will get 5% cash back up to $250 only. 5% of $5,000 in purchases is $250.
- so if your receipt total is equal or more than $5,000, you will only get $250 cash back.
- so if your receipt is less than $5,000, you will only get 5% of your total receipt.

Pay in 4 has disappeared for me for hours after each of my Pay in 4 purchases. It came back 5 to 17 hours later until I had some get stuck in pending after Walmart canceled two orders. The cap is per purchase until the end of the 20% offer due to the global cap or end of the period.
