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.

Nope, don't wait. Any withdrawal you've initiated will remain active and should hit the next business day.

To the guy saying they'll come after you via collections in the rare instance they attempt a clawback, yeah, okay...like they're going to do that when their own terms & conditions were beyond ambiguous. That was the heartiest laugh I've had on here in a long while, and that's saying something.
I didn't say that ditzy. I said if PayPal were to claw back the funds and you ended up owing them money, they're not just going to forget about it and just write it off if you refuse to pay up. It will probably go to collections if they can't collect it thru some other means. Pull your head out.

Don't make it seem like the clawback method is to take you to collection first. I was the one says Paypal is not going to claw anything back you were the one who thought they would do that nonsense. Learn what the /s switch means.

Anyway, my point was there's probably a reason why so many of you scammers were marked a suspicious actors and denied P4 options and merchants wouldn't let you use the deal or credit cards, etc. Too many old timer SDers believe it's still 2008 and you can get away with anything. Paypal doesn't even have to flag you, AI already knows what you are thinking.

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.
Dude i responded to a comment of someone saying they were going to contact the bbb because they only got $250 in rewards, and have been crapped on by multiple people since then. Those terms are not ambiguous. It was capped at 1250, you have even brought up one line from the terms to defends yourselves. Your whole idea is yhat it meant you coukd purchase in groups of 1250, that is crazy. And youre coming to that conclusion by deleting and acting like you dont know what some words mean. And even if you are genuinely confused, you literally ignore 80% of the the things i say. If it was really unlimited, they woukd have said that. Instead they literally said multiple ourchases up to 1250 spent. You guys know that means 1250 spent. Its not confusing. Your guys explanation is though. "Groups of 1250" its just crazy, again what are you guys are literally saying is "ANY purchase under 1250". But youre rightt i shoukdnt be spending my yime on thiis. But yeah people should be mad aout this because oaypal essentially took points away from them, had them sign up for a promo and give the, very sensitive information, only to give away its sounds like 80% of the pool, if you guys are getting thousands of dollars, yo a select few, simply because you guys might sew them over complete bs. Its gross, i dont like it, its not the same as previous deals like the verizon trade ins, where its literalky was in the terms and justifiable for anyone to file a suit.

How would you feel if PayPal didn't try to claw any of the money back from these people?

Wow I already got the reward and already used the points. Definitely easiest $500 I ever made in my life!
I noticed something else: I paid property taxes with this offer. And to my surprise: When using paypal, it shows up as "Online purchase" for Bank of America cash rewards card. So I got 5.25% cash back from my CC in addition to the $500. Given than local tax authority charges %3, my net is 2.25%. So my net profit is $250 (my paypal) + $250 (wife's paypal) + 56 (from CC) = $556. Thanks to OP and SlickDeals for this wonderful deal!
my BoA Customized Cash Rewards Visa has 6% CB for online shopping (3% choice + 3% first-year bonus), but per BoA T&C, government tax payments seem excluded from the bonus. Unless a 3rd party vendor is used to process, in your case (?)

We obviously disagree with the terms being ambiguous, which is fine. Agree to disagree. I agree with you that people should be upset, but I think they should be upset with PayPal for writing such weakly defined fine print for a promotion that had such big financial implications not only for themselves but for their customers.

BoA cash rebate depends on merchant code. It is either: 1) Paypal changes the merchant code and makes it like an online purchase 2) My local county charges as "online purchase".

"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.

I used multiple AI models, as I said already earlier in the thread. They all agreed that I was right.

You're just wrong and aren't admitting it, because you're leaving off PER TRANSACTION.

You are taking one line out of context, as some others have done, and misreading what it is saying, and ignoring everything else that is stated, including the screenshot I attached.

It makes sense they would say one or MORE purchases up to $1,250 because it's not limited to a single spend of $1250. So purchases up to $1250 spend is per transaction. That's how I read it and AI apparently did as well based on its response to the whole terms text rather than your single line out of context, which you misread. That's also how two different PayPal support reps confirmed - $1250 PER TRANSACTION. See my link a few posts back.

You're also ignoring other lines in the terms, which clearly showed it was per purchase:

Exact words from the original terms: "For each Eligible Purchasee, each Eligible Participant will receive a maximum of 25000 Points, which can be redeemed for $250 cash or other options (the "Reward") per Eligible Purchase."

It's funny how you ignore those terms.

Also see the attached screenshot, where I highlighted where it says "$1250 spend per transaction".

The evidence was overwhelming, and that's how it ended up working for many of us who eclipsed $1250 spending and got the points. You, Johnny Come Lately, are just upset you missed out on a great deal. laugh out loud

I agree with the lack of transparency and clarity.

I spent a lot of money thinking the offer was "saved" only to find out that I was never eligible. They give you NO indication that you're not eligible. The offer page comes up, the QR code is scannable, the sign-up page pops up, and after clicking on save the offer, there's no response indicating that you're not eligible.

"Yeah but you should have seen the offer saved if you were eligible!"
But how can I see something I'm not eligible for?!

I feel faked-out by this offer, but what can I do?

Only spend the $ if you can reverse the transaction? Or if you were already going to spend the $? Or are you saying you did multiple transactions, without even seeing reward points go into your account?

When the points move out of "pending" do you get an email, or does it happen without any fanfare?

Well, nice I didn't have to wait 90 days.

All my points are available - over 30,000 points, so over $300 saved and ready to spend. Smilie

If it weren't for Walmart canceling a couple orders and retrying to order resulting in me getting locked out of PayPal Pay Later options for a few days, I would have spent more.

Fortunately, the Pay Monthly (not Pay in 4 though) option came back in time for me to get another purchase in. I paid it off right away, so no interest, and the points are redeemable now.

I got an email on Dec 5th:

Subject "Congrats, you earned points!"

Nice work. You earned PayPal Rewards points. Use them at checkout, redeem for cash back, or donate — you've got options.

Earned since November 28, 2025
15,938
points

However, more of my points have come out of pending and they are all redeemable. I have over 30,000 points that I can redeem, but I only got that email above.

Bummer. I got a little screwed over myself so didn't spend as much as I would have.

Agreed. I still think about missing out on the Amazon A7R II price mistake where people got $3k+ cameras and lenses for like $94. I was bummed, but I'm happy for the people who were able to get in on it.
That was an insane deal I also missed out on. Truly happy for anyone who gets ANY slick deal! No skin off my back. A rising ride raises all ships!
