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.

With all the problems with the Pay Later disappearing for people, I bet they were getting quite a few calls. lol I just waited it out, and the timing kinda sucked for me, but at least I got in one decent purchase before they closed the curtain.
Yeah, I barely got in the big tv purchase before the terms changed.

I missed out on 40,000 points ($400) because I didn't know about the promotion until today

Thanks for posting that!!!! The PayPal update can be read two different ways. I was hoping today's new terms stating one transaction meant my transactions days ago didn't count toward that total, which would make all the difference whether my purchase today would be eligible for 20%. Since you have used it prior to today, and it says saved instead of completed, that tells me for certain that we are good to use it for ONE transaction today despite previous days' purchases. So, I'm feeling confident, I won't lose that $115 to $150

I just checked again and they changed it again.... they changed the expiration date so I guess they did give me one more 20% to use before Dec 2nd and they did update the terms to now say it's one per customer. I guess I get a second chance which is good because I only earned $17 in reward points from my one and only previous purchase.

there's no reason to think that paying it early will disqualify anyone from the bonus offer. That's probably the only part of this deal that's not a big question mark in my mind.
My only counter to that would be tie this promotion only to that option then? Why not include all PayPal payments?

TV was on my list, but I was wanted to cram some research or hold off until Black Friday. PayPal screwed me - what Fed up timing.

I see it as a promotional campaign. People get familiar with it, see how it works with a favorable experience (they hope), and that they will continue to use it, spend even more money, and make PayPal more money in the long run.

Guh...I missed that this is only for one transaction.
I guess something is better than nothing, but apparently I didn't need to be playing around with a test transaction.

because they are trying to promote the service to customers and get them in the habit of spending more money than they have, gotta milk that customer credit before the bubble pops.

I hope everyone with a PayPal account doesn't come here to report the same thing without reading that it's been reported a bunch of times already and is being discussed.

Don't be silly.

The change is meant to defacto end the program without shutting it off completely.

If you want to discuss what prompted them to make the change, MANY reasons.

One of those reasons: The incessant calls and communications and emails to paypal, merchants, and everybody else NOT about the benefits of the promo but about it's implementation, nitpicking every words, when are my points going to convert, I don't see the options, why won't my merchant participate, will Chase let me, I didn't get a confirmation email, is a gift certificate a structured gift card, can I use a VPN for Morocco.....so much pressure they had no choice but to relieve it with a single stroke. No one wants to handle these silly questions, driven by the SD effect, over TG and BF holidays.

No one abused the process, PP could do whatever they wanted. They have the final say on points pending and they can do whatever they want in the end. You don't need to change the terms to decide how you adjudicated the points in the end. You change the terms to stop the GD phone calls and emails and endless bickering with PP, the merchants, and anyone else connected with the program........

Abuse helped drive this but we have found there is a reason for SD rules #1 and if you don't start obeying it, promos will take more drastic action to prevent abuse when they get bombarded.

You didn't miss anything. Read the previous posts going back a couple pages.

But the people paying it off right away are not likely to use the Pay in 4 option in the future. That would be my reasoning of why paying off immediately would invalidate this.

Not saying that is what will happen, just thinking from PayPal's possible viewpoint.
