Reading the terms it's clear the intent is for 20% to apply for $1250 per person. But for the entire promotion it applies at 5% on up to $5000. I think theoretical max then is $250 from special promotion and $187.5 from the rest.

Yes I realize pending points are showing but my guess is they a pending precisely because it will be fixed later. But who knows maybe people will get lucky.

At any rate, getting 5% back is still not bad. Although Chase freedoms have 5% back starting Dec 1, this is available now and this actually stacks with CC points. Eg the BoA 3% online + this is 8% back.

Now a question I have is how returns work. Does it count as a repayment of the loan? If I didn't have enough to buy, personally I'd go for something returnable rather than a gift card if I wanted to maximize the benefit. But safest would be to return something with gift receipt for store credit.

Chase cards don't work with this promo. You need Amex, BoA etc. Also are you sure you activated/saved the offer first? If all you have is chase then you might be SOL.

The reason you remove your PayPal from sites your trying to purchase is cause, sites usually save you preferred payment for faster checkout which is why I said you need to remove it completely and relink it so you can set your preferred payment type again like Pay in 4 etc
Thanks. Yes, I apprecate the info and did try it but it just didn't work. I have tried a non-Chase card, bank, debit cards, etc as the preffered mode of payment and nothing works. I appreciate your response though. :-)

This doesn't stack on top of CC cashback at least for BoA. Both my orders only gave 1% for my BoA cards not the usual 3%.

Mine shows 3% pending… either way even 1% is still a stack

If you go on the PayPal app and click Rewards, Do you see the offer there? If so then its your cards that are the issue or maybe try a different browser. I can't think of anything else blocking you besides that

Someone mentioned before that they've done the 5% PP bonus multiple times and the 3% showed up.

I just checked my CCR and it shows my bonus tracker going from 0 to $2500 once all the purchases posted. (AFTER the credits added to my total statement balance) When I click on them, it says misc./specialty stores and online Y. Fingers crossed.

My spending power still hasn't returned, this might be it. I still have more things I need to purchase and I wait too long they might end up OOS.

Has anyone encountered having credit looking under the pp app and then disappear? what are the chances that payin4 wont work anymore in this case?

Mine disappeared a few hours ago after checking to see if Pay in 4 still worked by going to Paypal Checkout (I didn't actually apply for the loan though) I think just attempting a pay later order counts against you even if don't follow through.

Yes, the offer is in my Rewards. I wish I could remove it and put it back in but there is no way to do that.

I did try a different browser but that didn't help either. Issue has to be with Paypal having some restriction on my acct. or it has to do with me having frozen accts with all credit bureaus and unfreezing them all today. Perhaps maybe even though all accts are showing as unfrozen now, it actually may take 24 hours to go in effect. lol

I'm going to talk with Paypal tomorrow and I'll ask for a supervisor and maybe someone can figure out what the deal is. I have no reasons to have any restrictions on my acct.

per person PER PURCHASE.

This was clarified earlier in this thread, but people don't read.

See:

Wording analyzed by myself and multiple AI models:
https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=180419071

Confirmed by PayPal reps from the relevant dept:
https://slickdeals.net/f/18824500-select-paypal-accounts-pay-later-with-paypal-get-20-cash-back?v=1&p=180426868

Then to top it off, we have multiple people who have used above the $1250 and have points pending showing 20% for each of the purchases in excess of that.

When you open the offer, it should show that it's saved like the attached pic. But it still won't show Pay in 4 anywhere if they locked you out of the deal. Same with Pay Monthly. I ended up getting locked out of Monthly before I got anything purchased, and got locked out of Pay in 4 after 3 successful purchases and later 2 cancelled purchases. It used to be that it would return in like 5 to 17 hours until they sent me the unusual activity message.

used it on dell.com using Discover card. Rewards are pending just after placing the order. Also tried it with chase Flex card, it said that card isn't eligible for pay later.

That's how it works. Just don't be surprised if the Pay in 4 disappears after one or more purchases.

I think PayPal is really dumb here. Why tie the promotion to some dumb system that might or might not work like pay monthly or payin4? I kind of understand the pay monthly as they might make it back in interest, but any sane person would just pay that off after making the purchase and not incur any interest just to earn the cashback. They don't get anything out of this payin4 thing. Playing games on who and how many transactions can someone have or change stuff just like the wind blows, and who makes and cancels orders is just nonsense. It would be just easier if they earmark a certain amount of cash for this promo, and be done and over with when funds run out. they will get a tax write-off anyway. Another thing could have been to limit transactions per person to like 2 or a certain amount.
