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 drinkingbird :
Paypal is a public company and if people scam them out of tons of money by buying and returning items, it will look bad and affect their share price.

I've used their rewards plenty of times, if what you're saying is true, why would they hold most of them for 60 or 90 days? If they don't care they might as well make them available instantly.

Paypal uses the same affiliate networks as the "small" cashback sites (who do much larger cash back business than paypal does, paypal is trying to catch up), there is no difference there, they don't work directly with every single retailer. Perhaps this "pay in 4" promo they're just handing out the points without going through the usual referral programs (but if that was the case, mine would have gone payable by now).
Don't be silly, if the original charge is pending, Paypal will probably hold the points as pending (instead of providing them instantly), but it's up to Paypal.....

Paypal will decide the appropriate time to hold the points in pending status before they release them. that's what they care about. No one ever said they don't care at all about anything. They don't care about the nonsense that you keep bringing up:

They don't wait to hear back from merchants to give the go-ahead on points.
They don't observe return windows based on the type of product you buy.

We are talking about this promo and the Paypal business, not their ongoing little cashback program that was only recently started and is probably hired out to someone to administer where you click on a retailer, shop with that retailer, wait forever to get your cash back....or not. Two different programs. This one is based on setting up Pay-4 and making the first payment. No one wants to take out a loan, pay it off completely and then still have to wait another month to get cash back for doing that.

When I set my Paypal debit card to 5% cash back for groceries, when I swipe my card at the grocery store, 5% of my purchase is deposited immediately....don't have to wait to ask the grocery store if it's ok or if I'll return some of my groceries; they certainly don't wait 30 days. It's not the same as that silly cashback program Paypal is operating where you clickthru the specific retailers. so that one is different because it's using my debit card.

Learn to understand the differences.

Is this not working with the Walmart sign out sign in method anymore?

I know at the beginning it was but I don't have the ability to sift through 6 billion comments so any help would be appreciated.

How soon for Paypal to show the reward point after checking out (from Bestbuy)? I see the status is still "Saved" after 10 minutes. I selected "Pay in 4" when checking out. Hopefully it's the correct option.

Trying to get this to work on my mom's account and no matter what card I add I get this message
"The card you added can't be used with this plan. Add a card to continue"
I have tried Fidelity, Citi, and Boa.
Anyone else having this problem?

If you still have the 20% link in "Your featured offers" but used it prior to the terms, can you use it again?

Received my cash back from November 18. Made 2 purchases at Best Buy for $100 Amazon gift cards, which came with $15 Best Buy gift cards. So I paid $160 for $200 Amazon gift cards and $30 in Best Buy gift cards.

The bonus is I made a 3rd order and it was canceled by Best Buy. I got the 20% cashback anyways so in the end it was $140 for $200 Amazon gc and $30 bb gc.

Awesome. Just be ready for Paypal to claw back the rewards once they start going thru the receipts because you know....they have the data, they know what you bought! LOL

They certainly could but I don't see how it's worth their time. I went into this totally fine if it didn't work out because I shop at Amazon enough where getting bb gift cards was already a bonus. The PayPal thing would just be icing on the cake.

Tried to apply on an eBay purchase and got rejected by Pay Later for "suspicious activity." It went fine on my first try a week ago before PayPal redid the terms.

Any way to retry on eBay? Pay Later doesn't show as an option anymore.

Sorry if this has been addressed (I scanned the last dozen or so pages searching) but does anyone know if using a browser plugin for cashback during checkout invalidate the Paypal 20% offer? I saved the offer a few days ago, and still see it in my PP rewards page, I also see my single purchase for ~$900 is processing cashback at the other website, and I selected Pay in 4 without any trouble when I checked out.
I've received a couple of emails from Paypal stating that they got my order, welcome to pay-in-four, and that the first payment has been processed, but none of them mention any points, and on my rewards page it still only says that there are 2 days left to use the offer, but no points pending. Did my CB plugin short-circuit this deal, or might the points still show up in time?

Logically it would just discount on the first 1250 part.
Has anyone confirmed this and got the full points pending with a single purchase over $1250? I have a cart for 1254 with no way to drop it to over 1k but under the 1250.

For the people who received their points (no longer pending) did you make purchases that are normally not refundable? (Digital items, gift cards, etc.)

Quote from MAC944Turbo :
I used TCB but not as an extension just as a portal on the website but I really don't think it would mess anything up since you just needed to have saved the offer and then after that PayPal is basically "seeing" everything quite directly since you're checking out with them and using their pay in 4 program etc.
The e-mails won't really say anything about the points. Have you looked at Activity in PayPal? The pending points should be listed directly underneath the qualifying purchase right on the Activity page without needing to click anything else.
Thanks for that tip, even though my Rewards page shows nothing, the Activity page did indeed show 19k pending points. Thanks again!
