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.

Bought a gift card on Walmart and can confirm this doubled up with the 20% off apparel offer. Now let's hope they don't cancel it.

Ah, so it seems like a dice roll with no clear answer. Would help if anyone can report any recent purchase in the past handful of hours if they're seeing the pending points.
I can give my perspective here.

On my account that I maxed to $1250, it clearly shows me that - "Congratulations. You did it" on the offer that is now updated to "One Pay Later Purchase". It also has the green bar indicating its fulfilled.

On my wife's account that did not reach this limit, I still have the One Pay Later so I am expecting it to have the remainder purchased and fulfilled.

I saved the promotion to Rewards. When I click on Shop Now, Best Buy is not listed as one of the participating stores. However, when I go to BB.com, I have the PP Pay in 4 option at checkout. Does this mean the promotion is active? And worst case, if I buy it and the promotion is not available, are there any issues returning the items to BB?

What section in the app are you seeing this information? I checked the Pay Later section and the Rewards section. I haven't maxed out my cashback rewards yet either, but I don't see any type of progress bar for it.

I still do show an offer for "20% cash back on one Pay Later purchase with PayPal" in my Rewards section.

I tried using this deal on my brothers account at the check for pay in 4 was denied due to "Application information tied to unusual activity." Anyone else run into this?

Under Rewards and only if you have fully utilized the $1250.

Anyone have this issue? I have the offer, got approved then later went to go through and it disappears and won't let me pay with credit once approved. It shows paypal credit unavailable message.

Is this Paypal trolling?

"Choose another way to pay. PayPal Credit isn't available."

You got approved and you didn't go through with the purchase. You aren't supposed to test it first to see if you're approved.. you're only supposed to go through with the application when you're ready to purchase.

For some who did the same thing, the option has come back after a period of time but this close to the end of the promotion you likely killed your chances of using it. Bummer.

Oh I did go through with the purchase. Once I got approved I clicked it and then it just showed that as I did right after I got approved.
When I meant later, I meant more like the moment I got approved I literally proceeded but then it stopped me. But based on what you're saying I lucked out meh.

FYI: if your order gets canceled by merchant for any reason, you're SOL:

"If your order was canceled AFTER the offer was redeemed → You CANNOT use it again

If any of the following happened:

First installment was processed
Merchant captured the order
Reward points show as Pending
Reward points show as Completed
Then the offer is considered used, even if the order is later canceled or refunded.

PayPal will not give the 20% offer back."

Yes, that's what I'm doing. Assuming the discounted price will not show up on the BB side and will show the full transaction price.
However, I am seeing the Shop Now button on the offer page that's saved in my Rewards. Does that mean I havent been approved yet? Of if I'm seeing the Payin4 option on BB.com that this offer will convert? thanks!

This offer actually isn't valid for PayPal credit. It's only valid for "pay later", which includes pay in 4 and pay monthly. PayPal credit is a separate thing that's not part of this promotion.

Paypal did NOT approve the Pay in 4. Below is the error message that I got in message center:
"Application information tied to unusual activity."

Anyone know why this is happening? I don't have anything unusual in paypal. Good credit score, no loans or other issues.

Did anyone else get this error and any tips on how to resolve this? Thanks.
