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 brianl0202 :
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.
Changes can be made to an order after it's initiated. It mentioned that in some of their terms, suggesting it as one reason they don't start charging interest on Pay Monthly until the order is at least partially completed by the vendor, because changes can be made to orders after the initial purchase. I actually looked over my earlier purchase to see if there was any way I could add to it, but it said it was in process and couldn't be modified, and I'm not sure I could have added to it anyway, or just canceled items, so oh well.

if we get points pending in activity today are we still safe and good chance to get the points? Just placed two orders under $1250...no email saying anything changing the promo for me or reaching a limit
It says "on a single transaction" on the offer page. Unless your purchases were from yesterday

If they are pending, then I think you are good - if you didn't make any purchases before today, that is probably why you didn't get the email.

As of today, there is a ONE transaction limit, even if you only spend a small amount. It's one and done.

You might get 5% for later transactions, but even that's doubtful as the 5% wording has disappeared from the terms and offer page, and that was supposed to last to the end of December.

Check your offer within the rewards of the Paypal site or app. It will either show "saved" or "completed". If it says completed, you know you hit your limit.

Which one, I have several API's I've helped develop and even more that I've interfaced with since I work with AI as work.

Some people talked about paying off property tax. The per transaction limit wouldn't touch my property tax! lol

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?
My chase freedom was not eligible either, i tried. It only allowed me to use my chase checking account debit card. Both were linked to my account well before this promo.

I just paid federal taxes with this offer. Easy $250. Upvoted and repped
Which of the two processors allowed that (pay in 4 or pay monthly)? Both of them only offer Paypal Credit for me, and that does not qualify for this offer.

Quote from CourtC4337 :
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

dude your cognitive dissonance is off the scale. It says right here:
"For each Eligible Purchase, each Eligible Participant will receive a maximum of 25000 Points, which can be redeemed for $250 cash or other options (the "Reward") per Eligible Purchase."
How do you have 250 cash per eligible purchase if 250 is the cap in total??
Please use your head or ask your mom to explain it to you. Again try not to be so bitter. You win some you lose some.

So basically those who took the risk and made multiple purchases worth tens of thousands or thousands of dollars likely got an easy 20% back in points on them and get to keep them. So some people out there probably saved over a thousands bucks if they made multiple purchases close to the $1250 limit per transaction. Those are the real slickdealers right there Smilie I salute you all!

"Applying for Pay Monthly will not impact your credit score. If your Pay Monthly installment loan is approved and used, PayPal may report your Pay Monthly installment loan to credit reporting agencies. This will include information like your loan amount and payment history, which may impact your credit score."
Thanks! And double checking I can pay off my pay monthly loan early and avoid paying any interest?

After reading the comments and tried to place an order myself only read thoroughly the fine terms and conditions, I now have an unpopular opinion: This is an okay deal and reasons are as follows:
-The pay later option is really applying a credit line through paypal (with a mastercard or just a line of credit).
-Cash back is capped at $250 for spending $1250.
There are credit cards that offer great sign up bonuses without annual fees such as spending $500 within first 3 months getting $200 statement credit or $300 for spending $1k.
Paypal credit may not as convenient as other big credit cards. It this was purely rewards without applying another credit line, then it would be a great deal!


Edit: needed to cross out the original comment because from the comments it seems that some folks got more than $250!

Wondering if this is dead for those with a PayPal account but haven't used the 20% back as of yet?

I don't know - I think this is a lot better than opening another credit card. Plus a lot of us slickdealers have already opened a million cards for good intro deals. I think it's a great deal, I used the pay in 4 and it spreads out the payment a little with no interest.
