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.

Quote from MichaelM5898 :
I do wonder how they paid their taxes with it. At least where I live, My taxes are > $1500, so they wouldn't have qualified for the promotion, and there was no way to split the payment up with the county to get it under the limit. A moot point at this point (I didn't even realize my tax appraiser accepted PayPal).
IIRC you wouldn't split it, because for most people it was giving 20% regardless of the purchase price. (Correct me if I'm wrong) Otherwise I've seen people come up with very creative backdoors to pay taxes and get cashback lol.

I got this email this morning. I was able to make 2 purchases at $1250 yesterday and I am showing the rewards points pending.

"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"

up to 1250 spent.
not
eligible purchases of up to 1250

this is clear. Its not semantics. We all know this. When has any company offered a promo that could be used up by one person? The whole point is to reach out to as many people possible. And why would they even add a cap, if you could borrow as much as you wanted anyways?
You guys are like trying to say "you can make multiple purchasees up to 1250, and then you can make as much ourchases up to 1250, and then you can make multiple purchases up to 1250 and the you can…"


So yeah if they reward you guys with everyone elses points, that is a slap in the face to the people who spent time on the promo
purchases up to $1,250 spent. not combined total of $1,250.
It also said here: "For each Eligible Purchase, each Eligible Participant will receive a maximum of 25000 Points"
FOR EACH PURCHASE a maximum of 25000 points will be received further highlights why it was working for every purchase up to $1,250. If it was total it would just say a max of 25000 points will be received by each participant. The FOR EACH PURCHASE makes it clear they just cap Bezos from buying a 100million dollar jet and ending the promo in one purchase.
I'm sorry that english is hard for you. I'm sorry you missed the promo, and I'm sorry you are so bitter about it. The terms are clear but the intent was botched probably somewhere down the line from idea to implementation. It's not a slap in the face but just good business to not screw your merchants and piss off active customers.
Wish you all the best and a Happy Thanksgiving!

CHASE card not eligible, as in you can't pay down the payments with a chase credit card? Does it have to be direct bank payment? Or a different card?

Im thinking of purchasing a canon lens for $1050 at Bestbuy.

I have "20% cash back on one Pay Later purchase with PayPal" on my rewards tab with highlighted green SAVED.

All I have to do is go to bb.com and check out using paypal pay-in 4. and this should be qualified for 20% cashback on my paypal account?

Is this the correct step to get the 20% cb? THANKS
yes correct

Do you all think your municipality or Uncle Sam or the gubment is going to cover the promotion by fulfilling some phantom obligation to PayPal or WebBank? Nothing is impossible I suppose


Certain items, product categories, and purchases are ineligible for Points. Exclusions vary by merchant. We may not be able to determine if the item(s) you have purchased are eligible for Points or the number of Points that you will earn for that purchase until after you make your purchase.

Certain ad blockers may prevent you from earning PayPal Rewards Points. If we are unable to track your eligible transaction or other qualifying activity, or if the relevant third-party merchant does not fulfill its obligation, then you may not receive the Points associated with that transaction or activity.

AND they did not or at least have not indicated you will forfeit the points. So they have compromised. So it appears they haven't harmed you and it appears they prefer to keep goodwill with a customer.

I guess we might not know for a while to come. Hopefully you're good to go.
Yeah, they didn't harm me because I had only completed one transaction early morning and was reviewing some stuff before making another transaction. An hour or two later, I would have done a second transaction already by then, and then I would have had to go in and do a return on that second transaction, since it wouldn't qualify.

I wouldn't give two shits about it ending/change to the new terms today if they hadn't Fed me over by removing my Pay Later status for several day only to return today, right when their new terms take effect. What timing. But better I spent another ~$800 than nothing. So, I can deal with it.

I made my first purchase last night and my 2nd one today, about a half hour before they sent the email about changing the terms.

I have points pending now for both purchases that reached the total limit of $1250

I did not see the points immediately for the 2nd purchase (I did for the first), but I think that had more to do with the retailer not charging to full amount right away for the multiple items in that order.

Pay in 4 option disappeared for me. So if you see it, there is no risk in trying as there won't be any interest.

omg youre saying i csnt understand english, i repeat:

"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"

Your purchases are no longer elible after 1250 spent. You guys are literally adding and taking away words to your benefit. Ill go ask my mom whose a lawyer if you want, or my sister who is a lawyer as well and actually works in comtract law. i know what the answer is though, so do you guys.

that last sentence in the toc is king, up to $1250 spent. That should obviously benthe most important thing you can take away. Its seriously the simplest thing, but you guys are trying to make it confusing.

Once you go over 1250 spent, it is no longer an eligible purchase, what you copied and pasted does not apply. Logic is seriousky fading in america, everyone thinks they can bs everything. Sorry logic is hard for you. Happy thanksgiving
