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.

And then come to your own conclusions.
Thank you for the link! Yeah stipulations make it super confusing to read I focused on the weird wording of the triple "eligible". That combination fo eligible purchase, maximum amount, thrn at the end another per eligible purchase. But figured there was no way PayPal would be generous enough to not limit the number point acquisition per account especially with the maximum word usage.
Even speaking with representative they played hard ball despite giving the exact example purchase in theory. They implied no it does not continously accrue, you are limited to that 25000 points. But the document seemed to point otherwise.
If there really are examples of proof from others where they've made multiple transactions totaling $1250 and each of those awarded 25000 points then that is crazy and hopefully I can still make it to the 1.5B allocation they set out.
But it also says in fine print where PayPal has all control to review and at any time change as they see fit so they could pull the rug and say those other $1250 do not get the 20% and will convert them to 5% since that is regular rate.

What they said was something like they got 20% back on a $1,000 purchase. Then made a $500 purchase and only got $50 back instead of $100.

You mentioned pay monthly. What does that have to do with anything? I'm curious because I've only been using pay in 4.
Pay Monthly doesn't have the $1500 limit, but charges interest if you just let it pay month by month. So it has to do with another option available regarding limits.

Points are pending for people. I really doubt anyone will get over the 250 amount, total, for the whole period.

It would be different if it was already finalized in the account.

Wishful thinking.
The $250 is per transaction. This has been known for quite a while now.

If I use the Pay Monthly, would I still get the 20% points if I payoff in the same month to save on interest?
Almost certainly. I did it for a couple of my Pay in 4 purchases. Nothing changed regarding the number of pending points at 20%.

Someone showed me a screenshot of his list of transactions that showed 20% reward points of more than 25,000, and some others have said they were showing the points in excess of 25,000 as well. I'm highly doubtful PayPal would claw those back and wouldn't have limited them to begin with if it was indeed a participant limit. Plus, as per the other reference I provided supports that it's per transaction.

I was unable to do it myself because Walmart canceled my transactions and ended up getting declined for more Pay in 4 purchase from PayPal as a result.

While still skeptical it will go through. But if there are indeed people being successful with it...have to try to join the gravy train.
But this contingency scares me in the printed text. PayPal reserves the right to deny or reverse rewards for an account showing patterns of abuse, fraud, or exploitation.
Definitely would classify making multiple $1250 transaction purchases to acquire multiple set of 25k in points as "abuse" and "exploitation" haha. Anyway first let's see if the option to pay in 4 even shows up for me anymore. Already made one exact transaction of $1250 2 days ago.

I think they would with this subtext in the fine print. Them being all in pending status does not help either.
Paypal reserves the right to deny or reverse any rewards for an account showing patterns of abuse, fraud, and exploitation.
Definitely classify these as both abuse and exploitation lol.

Are people still seeing the offer disappear after 2-3 purchases?

It's concerning that the points are still pending nearly a week later.

If I use my BofA credit card that gets 3% Cashback from Online Shopping, or perhaps US Bank Smartly 2% cashback to pay the installments, will the cashback rewards be properly credited? The transactions are showing up as "PAYPAL PYPL Payin4", not sure how that registers against the CC rewards.

Think the points will only be awarded until after all 4 scheduled payments have completed. So sounds reasonable to me actually...
Check back in 8 weeks (obviously past any option to return so just gotta stick with it lol)

Doing this myself not sure 3% will apply given the charge is PayPal which technically isnt a shop or vendor. Ebay might be the exception but id imagine ebay has to be in name of the transaction. But still might get 1% since it says everything else.

I used the offer twice on 2 different BoA cards and got 1% back when the charges posted. Don't think it triggers the 3%
