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 animeorb :
They capped me at $250 and during call refused to honor their original terms, has anyone filed FTC and/or CFPB complaints against Paypal yet?
Quote from CourtC4337 :
The terms were clear, it was up to $1250 total. The first page of thus thread made it clear.
Three accounts here with family members making purchases. One account was capped at $250 back even though I spent more. The other two accounts gave the full 20% on everything exceeding the $250 back. Very strange that they limited one account but not the other two. Was a hell of a deal combined with cap1 cashback and BOA cash rewards card at 4.5% making it over 50% off some items.

Apologies if this was mentioned in the thread... what's the average time frame for the rewards points to go from pending to payable?
Thanks!

Seems to be fairly random. Got my first set of points about 3 or 4 days ago, then another round yesterday, and one more cleared today. No rhyme or reason as to which transaction got credited. I've got transactions still pending between my first and last purchases to get credited. Who knows at this point.

You'll have a negative rewards balance if you don't have existing rewards to cover the reversal. Or you can stop using that paypal account I guess.

Got $291 worth of points on my Nikon Z5II purchase. Ordered from a small camera store in TX that didn't charge tax and had a coupon too. Total spent was only $1140 or so after all of the cashback and whatnot.

Probably one of my best Black Friday deals on a new product I've ever gotten.

I carefully read the original terms and found "per purchase" and "per account" both showed up multiple times, almost interchangeably.
I let my SO read it, and they concurred.
I quickly started experiment by placing a $1250+ order, paying back immediately, and placing a second one.
Both transactions showed full pending points (20% of total), not even limited by $1250.
Furthermore, during the checkout process, there were clear wording that we would earn 20% of purchases, up to $1250 per transaction.
I looked up the news and found a fund called "Blue Owl Capital" had recently invested $7 billion in PayPal Pay in 4.
Now it makes sense. Paypal is just burning VC fund. They had the money and they didn't care.
We decided to take calculated risk and place 10+ orders, paying local tax and utilities.
We ended up raking about $3,000 points.

Today's email is kind of a verification that our theory works, saying they would honor original offer terms.
I'm pretty sure the original terms were not vetted by legal, but were drafted by some marketing team with the assistance of ChatGPT.
New term no longer has "per transaction" wordings.
Update:
I have $2000+ rewards posted among three accounts (mine, SO, business) and already cashed out.
About $1000 points are pending/capped/gone. They were all from transactions on 11/20-11/22, so Paypal must have altered their code around that time.

What a great BF deal! This reminds me of Xbox One price mistake in 2016 BF. There was a glitch at Amazon checkout, and you can get THREE consoles for the price of one.


Quote from CourtC4337 :
But the original terms were clear, it was capped at 1250 total. It wasnt even confusing, the terms people were trying to conflate in here were mind numbing. The very first page of this thread made it clear.
Sorry for your $$$ loss.
Next time make sure you read from actual original term, no summary by a random SD staff.

Got no beef, just telling the truth, it was capped at $1250 from day one, clear as day, was just replying to those who didnt get the extra rewards and are saying theyre contacting the bbb and attorneys ect. The onky thing that can be said is they collected alot of information from people who were given the belief they were part of the promo and then gave alot of lies to probably avoid discriminatory lending. All our credit was perfect. Telling someone there credit card is being declined when its not is pretty serious to me.They also gave probably 80% of the points it sounds like to like a small portion of people and then ended the promo early. Theres plenty of things to complain about but you cant complain about getting rewards for anything over $1250 when it clearly stated 1250. This whole thread is sketch. The fact that it was even brought up in the first place, it was clearly capped at 1250 but someone brings it up anyways, it gets shot down, and then people ignore it and start exceeding 1250 and then actually get the rewards. Meanwhile theyre flagging 20 year old accounts for fraud, and picking and choosing who gets more than 1250. And the promo didnt even make sense, why woukd they want to advertise lending money with no interest to people who were gonna pay in full anyways? In unlimited amounts. The whole point of it is to get people werent going to spend and didnt have the money to buy anyways. Paypal has just become sketch and desperate, the only thing they do that others dont is the conflict resolution and tyhats down to 30 days now and really is probably only beneficial to the scammers
