Just got this email.

"Thank you for being a part of our limited-time Buy Now Pay Later holiday promotion. We're so happy you've been able to take advantage of it. You've reached the limit on this offer given our new terms, which can be found here."

The link was to the terms which had been updated:
"How it Works: The Offer allows Eligible Participants to earn PayPal Rewards Points ("Points") equivalent to 20% cash back on one Eligible Purchase during the Offer Period up to $1,250 spent"


I don't recall the "one eligible purchase" being there before and I looked pretty hard when the promo hit.
Bucks because my first purchase was small and I was planning on several more high dollar purchases

Same here. Spent $1K at HD, but was hoping to drop more on a new laptop with the same terms.

Just have your friend or partner order using their PayPal account, but your credit card. :p

Does this work for Non Buy Now Pay Later Purchases?

I got similar email. I was denied any further purchases after my last and only purchase of a laptop. I guess they running out of money? LOL

Thank god I made a single $1k purchase. I was looking forward to using it for something else for the remaining $250, but I'm grateful I got the one big order out of the way. Was looking forward to getting the XM4 from Best Buy with 20% off, but oh well.

I already used mine. My wife is interested in buying a $450 carpet extractor and she does not have a Paypal account. If we created an account for her, would she be able to use that or does the deal only work for established, existing accounts?

Had a Paypal account that i rarely used.
When i tried to make a purchase, I got this message

"Total balance on your outstanding Pay in 4 loans or the Pay in 4 loan amount you requested is too high."

Trying to work with the Paypal customer service. Has anyone else faced this issue?.

do I have to choose the paypal credit to get 20% CB?
or just use paypal and use my CC that is already saved in paypal would make me eligible for 20% CB?
