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 whole argument over it being unlimited or not is weird to me. To me the terms seem clear by this line. Maybe I am wrong, but to me it seems clear.During the Special Offer Period, Eligible Participants will earn Points equivalent to 20% cash back on one or more Eligible Purchases up to $1,250 spent.One or more purchases up to $1,250 spent. They could clear this all up by just adding the word total to the end of that sentence though.It says spent, by you, the customer. Not $1,250 total cashback on $5,000 spent.
We can for sure can't trust your interpretation. $5,000 is the max in purchases at 5% cash back rate.

"Special Offer Period".

Special offer period ends Dec 8th, that's the 20%.

They use the same language as well in each section.

...equivalent to 5% cash back on one or more Eligible Purchases during the Offer Period up to $5,000 spent.

During the Special Offer Period, Eligible Participants will earn Points equivalent to 20% cash back on one or more Eligible Purchases up to $1,250 spent.

$1,250 spent during the special offer period.

To me this is paypal saying you get $250 worth of points for this promo, whether you do it during the 5% or 20% period they don't care.

I agree that there are two rates, two rates, and two amounts. And I do agree that the cash back accumulation could spread into both periods. But if that's the case, it's a little ambiguous for them to not also give a warning that those max purchase amounts will be lesser if spread between. Not everyone wants to spend more than they need to or not everyone can do math. Hell... even this, not everyone is interpreting it the same way

Gift cards on Target - who gives you $10 Target credit for each $100 purchased. So it's essentially 30% off.
Technically 27% off 80/110

So this would work on an iPad at target if I read this correctly? Also, when is the first payment? I assume when you make the purchase. Chase offers 5% back through PayPal in December.

Everyone PLEASE stop calling
this is going to ruin the deal the more people keep asking

Second, you can run it through AI all you want. Noone has any idea if Paypal will change the terms and consider your points invalid after $250 total. Seems like this a complete clusterf*ck as far as PayPal is concerned.

This isn't 2005. The customer service reps we talk to don't pass what we say forward. I'd be surprised if they log it. And they definitely have no bearing on what happens in this deal.

We're calling for clarity on an established deal. Stop parroting phrases from 20 years ago.

I got the same, you were able to resolve this issue ? My pay in 4 is blocked for now since morning.
No, the canceled two Pay in 4 orders are still pending, which started this whole mess when Walmart cancelled both immediately followed by the message about the "activity" on my account. PayPal says those pending Pay in 4 should clear early morning on the 25th. Hopefully, within a day after that, I'll have Pay in 4 back. I don't have any Pay in Monthly, either. I messaged PayPal requesting a manual voice of those transactions, but they haven't responded in hours. I might call them.

Are gift cards eligible? If not, Im not seeing where on the terms and conditions does it exclude them.

Quote from digitalfreaknyc :
Paying it off in full immediately does not get you the points quicker.
He's not asking about getting points more quickly. He's concerned that paying the rest off would void his points for not letting the 3 remaining autopayments complete on schedule.

But, I paid off 2 purchases all at once, and my points are still pending.

So, no worries going ahead and paying off the balance early.

Thank you for posting "not available in MO" because I was losing my mind trying to figure out what I was doing wrong (in MO).
So in MO we can't use this 20% offer at all or just can't do the pay in 4 option? I read it like we can't do it at all. Hope I'm mistaken.
