I wouldn't worry, I use Pay in 4 three times successfully, was denied once, and just applied for a credit card a few days ago and approved.

Yes, look in your PayPal account, there is an approval limit. Mine is $3100.00
Quote from okhello :
So only unfreeze credit report from Equifax right? No need to unfreeze from TransUnion or Experian right?
I also had this problem with the promo. Even after unfreezing Equifax, I get "Sorry, we couldn't approve your application". Support was unhelpful, and just suggested waiting 7 days, but that didn't work either.

How can we verify this before pulling the trigger?
(4) purchases made at a merchant who enrolled in Pay Later within 30 days prior to the start of the promotion;

My credit reports are not frozen (for any of them including Equifax).
In other news, several Sders reported too that theirs was frozen and they were accepted.

Quote from vspectra06 :
Did they email you telling you that's the only purchase that will get 20% or was there some notice when you tried buying something else with pay 4 later?
Yes. I got the email. It is absurd. If i knew that was my only offer, I would not waste on an order that only gives back $14 worth of points.

If you scroll down on the Paypal Rewards page to where it says "Rewards Activity", it should show a transaction under "Pending".
