Paypal updated their offer to 1 time per account and sent everyone an email. 99% already used their offer. Stop multiplying these for every store.

Paying full price might be better anyway. Most of the "free iPhone 17" deals require you to switch to a plan that costs at least $70-90. Plus activation fee. If you go prepaid you can probably get a plan with everything you need for <$25. Do the math and see if it makes sense for you, I think no unless you're already on the $70-90/mo plan (and for some family plans) and it makes sense for you.

YMMV but I tried the pay later plan, was denied but then was credited 25,000 credits immediately so only had to pay $1050 out of pocket for the phone. Definitely worth trying to see if possible to replicate

Interesting, i don't need or want an iphone, but may buy one for someone else. I'll wait til 12/1 and see if I can stack chase freedom with this
I imagine it would only give you 5% off for the payments made in December. So if you do Pay in 4... you get 2 payments in December. Why wait?

The way I would play this is buy the iPhone on Best Buy on the Amex offer with BestBuy offer through PayPal , with the Amex credit card loaded on PayPal. Wonder if that will work?

Quote from Penguina :
To that person that said they couldn't do $1500, here is why. Max limit is $1500.


Pay in 4 is available to consumers upon approval for purchases of $30 - $1500. Pay in 4 is currently not available to residents of MO. Offer availability depends on the merchant and also may not be available for recurring, subscription services. When applying, a soft credit check may be needed, but will not affect your credit score. You must be 18 years old or older to apply. PayPal, Inc.: Loans to CA residents are made or arranged pursuant to a CA Financing Law License. GA Installment Lender Licensee, NMLS #910457. NM residents: Find more disclosures related to Pay in 4. RI Small Loan Lender Licensee.




Here is the full terms in case anyone wants it.

Limited to one Eligible Purchase per customer, up to a total of $1,250 in spend.
PayPal may at any time and in its sole discretion, without prior notice, terminate, cancel, suspend or modify this offer or these terms.
"Eligible Participant": Open only to residents of any one (1) of the fifty (50) United States or the District of Columbia or select U.S. Territories who: (1) are eighteen (18) years of age or older, (2) have a U.S. personal account with PayPal that remains in good standing through Reward fulfillment ("PayPal Account"), (3) receive an in app banner, email or other presentation inviting participation in the Offer and save the Offer ("Invitation") (eligibility for those who receive the Invitation will be determined solely by PayPal), and (4) have not already completed an Eligible Purchase.
"Offer Period": Starts on October 6, 2025 and ends on the earlier of December 2, 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.
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. Eligible Participant must save the Offer through the Invitation once and then successfully complete one (1) Eligible Purchase during the Offer Period. For the one Eligible Purchase, each Eligible Participant will receive up to a maximum of 25000 Points, which can be redeemed for up to $250 cash or other options (the "Reward"). Rewards will no longer be earned once the Offer Period has ended. There is a maximum total of 2 billion (2,000,000,000) points available under this offer for all Eligible Participants who have saved the offer and made an Eligible Purchase. Rewards will no longer be available once this limit is reached. If the maximum total of Points available is reached before the end of the Offer Period, this offer will end early. The receipt and redemption of Points is subject to the PayPal Rewards Agreement.
"Eligible Purchase(s)": Eligible Purchases are purchases made using either Pay in 4 or Pay Monthly that are completed during the Offer Period by an Eligible Participant who has saved the Offer and has not previously received the benefit of the offer. Eligible Purchases do not include: (1) purchases that are marked as "pending" as of the end of the Offer Period, (2) purchases with Pay in 4 where the first payment has not been successfully processed, (3) any purchase or portion of a purchase that involves a payment method other than Pay in 4 or Pay Monthly; (4) purchases made at a merchant who enrolled in Pay Later within 30 days prior to the start of the promotion; and (5) any purchase involving non-profit organizations, gambling, security brokers/dealers, foreign currency/money orders, and stored value cards. Satisfaction of Eligible Purchase criteria will be determined solely by PayPal.
Reward Redemption: Reward should be available in Eligible Participant's Account Overview section of the PayPal Account to redeem for cash and other redemption options within fourteen (14) days after qualifying to receive the Reward, although may take longer. See the "Redeeming Points" section of the PayPal Rewards Agreement for details.
Miscellaneous: Participation in offer is subject to the PayPal User Agreement, PayPal Rewards Agreement and the underlying Pay in 4/Pay Monthly loan agreement (s) to each Eligible Purchase. Similar offers may run at the same time; qualification for this offer does not constitute qualification for any other offer. PayPal is not responsible and/or liable if any e-mail, Reward, or offer-related materials or correspondence are not delivered for any reason. This offer is only redeemable in its originally published form.
Account Review and Reward Adjustments: PayPal may review accounts and purchases related to this offer at any time. If Eligible Purchases are refunded or if loan payments are not completed as agreed, PayPal may delay or reverse your Reward without prior notice. PayPal also reserves the right to deny or reverse Rewards should an account show patterns of abuse, fraud or exploitation of the program.
Important Credit Information: Pay in 4 and Pay Monthly are loan products. Missing payments or defaulting on these loans may negatively impact your credit score and credit history.
Pay in 4 is available to consumers upon approval for purchases of $30 - $1500. Pay in 4 is currently not available to residents of MO. Offer availability depends on the merchant and also may not be available for recurring, subscription services. When applying, a soft credit check may be needed, but will not affect your credit score. You must be 18 years old or older to apply. PayPal, Inc.: Loans to CA residents are made or arranged pursuant to a CA Financing Law License. GA Installment Lender Licensee, NMLS #910457. NM residents: Find more disclosures related to Pay in 4. RI Small Loan Lender Licensee.
Pay Monthly is subject to consumer credit approval and eligibility. Fixed APR is 9.99-35.99%. Eligibility varies and exclusions may apply. Terms and rates vary based on purchase amount and your credit. Payments may change based on shipping, taxes, updates to your purchase, or missed payments. Availability depends on the merchant and may not be available for subscriptions or recurring payments. Pay Monthly is currently not available to residents of AK, CT, HI or WA. You must be 18 years old or older to apply. Missed payments may have an impact on your credit score. The lender for Pay Monthly is WebBank. PayPal, Inc. (NMLS #910457): RI Loan Broker Licensee. VT Loan Solicitation Licensee. VT residents: THIS IS A LOAN SOLICITATION ONLY. PAYPAL, INC. IS NOT THE LENDER. INFORMATION RECEIVED WILL BE SHARED WITH ONE OR MORE THIRD PARTIES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR LOAN INQUIRY. THE LENDER MAY NOT BE SUBJECT TO ALL VERMONT LENDING LAWS. THE LENDER MAY BE SUBJECT TO FEDERAL LENDING LAWS.
This makes sense now on why pay with 4 was grayed out. I was trying this with a more expensive iPhone pro max which obviously exceeds the $1500 limit. Thanks for this clarification.

I did a pro max around $1300 total with tax scheduled for pickup later today, but don't see it on my pending rewards yet.
Ordered around 3:30 PM, currently 4:45 PM.

How long did it take for other people to see the item in pending rewards?
Try checking on the Paypal app instead. For me, the CB does not show up when using a browser, but the app does shows the CB pending.

25000 credit after you got denied? For not placing an order

Wondering the same smh! Definitely not worth the price without the rewards.

Just asking here because not sure if rewards would be applied once we pickup and Apple authorized the transaction
Yes I don't see the rewards on my PayPal account either (ordered about half an hour ago)

I do see in the Activity section that 12,000+ (what I ordered was an iPad Air for a bit over $600 after tax) points pending...so hopefully the rewards points get added at some point.

Do you have to do the 4 payments? For 512gb max only get monthly as option... Will that give cashback still? (Never used yet). also can I pay right away or will I be stuck in monthly (6 months payments with interest)

Are you in the PayPal app? My "Activity" tab shows points pending. Also try going to Menu>Rewards>Rewards activity and hopefully it'll show pending

I got an email 2 days ago from Paypal saying they ran out of the bonus points for the 20% off, is this a separate and new offer? Already ordered and picked something up on 11/21 from when the offer came out but points show "pending" on my activity.

How does it work with trade in since the price up front is the same (you get trade in credit after you send phone back). Thanks
