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.

he's hanging out with all those who swore we wouldn't get the points paid out for buying gift cards.
He was wrong, and you know it Sanchez, he said per transaction up to $1250 20% back "guaranteed" and that was clearly false, and as for gift cards you guys knew it clearly was against the terms so that was just a gamble if you got it or not, some even got their gift card orders cancelled so even that wasn't 100% anyways. I got all my points so far by the way Smilie

Worst promotion ever since a few random states were excluded. I could never get it to work because of that, even though others reported getting it to work from excluded states in spite of that.

They probably used a VPN to get it to work

He wasn't wrong though, at the time. People did get points for more. But they changed the terms. And even then they initially said everyone would get anything earned prior to the email...but then changed that as well (not surprising and what they did I believe was the fair and proper thing, and maybe even what they originally intended...but clearly not what was written or implemented).

A lot of people disagreed with him along with me. I knew they wouldn't give out all those points, since they left it just ambiguous enough to get away with it in the original terms. Then the revised terms really set it in stone, that's why everyone is reporting right now that they are cutting everything down to $250 max.

A ton of people in this thread disagree with you on the clarity of it. I am usually pretty good at parsing T's & C's and couldn't come to a definitive conclusion myself. Obviously, PayPal realized the terms were ambiguous since they rewrote them and sent out a notice...
So congrats on having figured it out, but it wasn't clear.
edit: same to you, angry kenny
also edit: everyone doing victory laps - the fat lady hasn't begun singing yet.
Victory laps not at all. I was a winner all along because I said what a lot of people said, we just don't know for sure and we should wait and see. the losers are the people who said it will or it won't definitely and there's no further discussion on the matter as if they knew for sure and you didn't.

I see you still believe even some of the points finalized have the ability to be withdrawn, is that why you believe the fat lady hasn't sang, you think this is still a possibility for those points to claw back?

No one argued the definition of a stored value card, what we argued is whether the promotion allowed it and more importantly will the promotion allow it and PayPal simply plans to reverse it. We all know the latter was not going to happen but too many people clung to it and they are the ones who are wrong. They said pending points would evaporate once PayPal read the receipts because "they know what you bought" and "Clearly they intended gcs not to be included." I said it's NOT clear that gcs were not intended else they would have wrote plainly "no gift cards" in code but instead, someone decide to pretend it was ambiguous and therefore up for debate. We now know PayPal uses that term for *other* types of preloaded cards and not ordinary consumer gift cards and the points for everyone are confirming. Gift card orders that are canceled can't get past the gc fraud shields, not because of promotion terms.

Next time we see this promotion and it say "stored value cards" you can buy gcs or you cannot, up to you. But let's not pretend we know what it means *and* we know what bad things are going to happen to you. So much ridiculous. But I know it takes years to put this down, we fought the Amex Offer battle for literally years, still fighting it today....people calling and begging Amex asking if their TC saying "no gift cards" does it *really* literally mean "no gift cards" and if so, why are the guys on SD buying GCs when it says otherwise, nonsense. Ugh!

Same here
My first two (Nov 20th and 21st) seems to have been combined and capped at 25k.
My 3rd one 5.4k pts from Nov 23 was received today. I have a 4th from another Nov 23rd and final 5th from Nov 24th still pending. Didn't think I was going to receive the 3rd - 5th transactions but hopeful now with the 4th and 5th even though they aren't anywhere near 25k max.
