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.

because it expired but originally it was supposedly going to expire on 12-08-2025 but i think since it was in high demand they sent that letter out which limited the transactions and shortened the date by couple days and hours..it ended on December 2 2025, PST 9:00pm

"Special Offer Period": Starts on November 17, 2025, at 12:00:00 a.m. PT and ends on the earlier of December 8, 2025, at 11:59:59 p.m. PT or when the maximum number of PayPal Rewards Points available under this Offer for all Eligible Participants is reached.

Quote from animeorb :
Yeah if you read the full terms it very clearly in legal terms says that its per transaction. What I think happened was the original promo was 5%, and at that percentage they didn't care very much if people used it a ton, but when updating the promo to 20% they didn't stop and think "People are going to use this a ton", but what matters is what they actually put in a legal document, not what they might have put in if they thought about it more.
My theory is PP knew about the "per transaction" limit and deliberately made that statement with no mistakes made; this was their intentional deal. People here called and even the PP reps who made sure to ask higher ups clarified that the limit is per transaction and not a total limit of $250 cb. Hence they are honoring all of the cashback for purchases before the revised terms.

They had up to 1.5 billion points to give out and the offer would have ended if they ran through all of those points regardless of what the terms were. Then halfway through the offer timeline I think they changed the terms because they saw they were running out of points to give out, so they limited it to $250cb max so more people can get in on the deal and upped it to 2 billion points total giveaway for 20% back in a shorter time limit since it was a lot more popular to get people to spend money than the 5% cb, which they completely did away with.

Then to top it off, we have multiple people including myself who have used above the $1250 amount and have points already distributed for each of the purchases in excess of that, for the purchases made under the original terms.

This is why PayPal changed the terms later to make it a single purchase limit with a $1250 limit. You wouldn't change the terms if you weren't changing them. laugh out loud
The original terms definitely said up to $1250 per transaction and did not have any stipulations regarding maximum number of eligible transactions. I'm not sure why so many people seem to be insistent on incorrectly quoting the original terms, but the impression I get is that they are using it as an excuse for why they missed out on this deal, or failed to fully take advantage of the poorly written original terms before they were amended.

Yeah, looking at it in hindsight I think the deal was just too good that people were just assuming the original terms were incorrect lol. The terms was only confusing because of the disbelief, but imo it stated clearly that they had a max payout of 1.5 billion points total, and the only limitation for us was max $250 back per transaction. People who jumped on the deal and did more transactions than $1250 got back what was stated in the original terms. Like with any SD post, you win some you lose some, get in early and take chances or don't. People filing complaints at Paypal are only incentivizing Paypal to never do another offer like this again.

I bought a TV from Walmart on 28 Nov and the points are still showing as pending. I also purchased a few items on Nov 22 and those points are still waiting for confirmation as well.
Has anyone received confirmed points from Walmart for purchases made around the same time?

I'm not sure why you're adamantly arguing this when the wording is obviously vague and can be interpreted either way. You know who else obviously agrees with this assessment? Paypal. Which is why they honored the cash back for many people and amended the original terms.

dude younguys have lost your mind over this, youre removing and adding words and writing your own terms, it was clear as day, up to 1250. Every other wording you guys bring up, starts with eligible ourchases, its boiker plate, theyre explaining that you can only get $250 back total. I spoke with a contracts lawyer, it says at the bottom clear as dat "During the Special Offer Period, Eligible Participants will earn Points equivalent to 20% cash back on one or more Eligible Purchases up to $1,250 spent". Im sorry im just not going to give in and tell yu guys 2+2=4. As far as the ai, thats embarrasing for which ever ai you used.


And i said it another post, you guys are acting like it said you can make multiple purchases up to 1250, and after that you can make multiple purchases up to 1250, and after that you can make ourchases up to 1250. Acting like thats how you imterpreted it, its so redic, youd never see a judge.


How bout this "20% off any purchases under 1250 till dec 8". Thats what woukd be said

Anyways its all besides the point, it clearly says it was capped at 1250

During the Special Offer Period, Eligible Participants will earn Points equivalent to 20% cash back on one or more Eligible Purchases up to $1,250 spent

And you guys are onky brining up small boiler plates buried within the text intended for other reasons and then subtracting and adding words and acting confused by literal words.

if what you were saying were true it woukd say

"During the Special Offer Period, Eligible Participants will earn Points equivalent to 20% cash back on one or more Eligible Purchases OF up to $1,250 spent

The text you keep quoting is ambiguous and not clearly defined either way. This is simply a fact. I'm just curious what exactly you're arguing here? That PayPal isn't honoring the cash back beyond $250? That obviously hasn't been the case for many people. Are you arguing that PayPal is going to realize they're accidentally giving cash back beyond the $250 and are going to try to claw it back after the fact? Or are you upset that people noticed that the terms were poorly worded, took a chance, and ended up benefited in a way that you consider to be unfair? I'm confused what your point is?

*Edit* Just read your comment above, which does a good job of explaining why you're spending so much time complaining about something that you should be blaming PayPal for. Welcome to Slickdeals. You must be new here.
