I tried with AirPods Pro 3 and the PayPal option was not available BECAUSE there was a $50 GC in the cart
No GC, PayPal option shows
I order three iPhone 6 to get $75 GC trying to be slick with PayPal 20% CB. But Apple and PayPal are more slicker. You are correct. I called Apple and verified this directly. If you use PayPal one can't get $75 gc on iPod pro 3 or iPhone 16 etc. My first two orders separately let me use pay in 4 with a PayPal with my Amex card and another Visa card without qualifying for $75 GC. When I realized $75 gc didn't get triggered I called Apple and learnt that if you use carrier activated ( mine was T-Mobile) & used PayPal at check out, I won't get $75 GC. Now I'm just wishing I'll get 20% CB using unconfirmed PayPal rewards. My third order for Iphonr 16 was without carrier selected and I paid using Apple gc from target ( with $15 target card) and it triggers $75 Apple gc. All my three orders had trade in selected. Hope this helps others. I spoke with three different Apple reps and all confirmed the same.

For Xfinity, you need to select "Connect to any carrier later".

Thats how my iPhone purchase was calculated for points (with tax).

Think about it - you're getting a loan from PayPal, The amount financed is the total amount with tax, not the pretax amount. I highly doubt the algorithm PayPal uses is even looking at the line items, just the total amount billed.
Do you know if you can still get the 1199 cashback if you do a trade-in? In the Apple site it says that even if you trade in you will pay 1199 upfront

Followed the instructions, picked up the phone, payment is divided by 4, but still shows pending and no sign of the reward, not even showing as pending reward. Anyone had a similar experience?

Since Apple will refund the trade-in to your payment method (PayPal), i assume it would reduce the cashback by 20% of the trade-in value. So if your trade-in value was $100, your cashback would be reduced by $20.

What is slowing pending if reward is not showing pending??? The order itself?

make sure you log in to the PayPal APP not website. click activity, find the order and go into it and if you did correctly it should have a pending reward. someone said they only saw it on the app and not website

For me, it took a day after pickup for the reward to be updated.

Have Question: I ordered now and payment is $1199 (the deliver location dont have any tax). So the total bill is $1199. So this 20% offer is eligible. I didn't get 20% back in PayPal Rewards should show pending shortly after purchase confirmation email. Any thoughts, Please share
