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.

I do agree the prices are ridiculous.. my wife really wants a new pro though for the better camera over her current 13.
The regular iPhone 17 has basically the same camera except without the telephoto lens. Pro doesn't have much over the regular 17 these days, so I would compare and see if it's worth the extra $300.

Mine are frozen and worked fine. Getting 17 Pro tomorrow, made first payment and Paypal shows I am getting 23,793 points.

So paid $1,189.67 - $237.93 = $951.74
Then getting $135 for iPhone 13 mini, so ended up paying $816.74
I'm going to not trade in just in case that messes with the rewards. Just going to sell on eBay or locally. Should be able to get what Apple offered, just with a little more hassle

Are you looking under "Rewards Activity"
I am looking everywhere, but yes there as well. In rewards activity it shows 0 rewards.

I don't the see offer when purchasing thru Apple on web. But I did see the offer was available on PayPal and I saved it.
Not sure why it's not showing while purchase.

Since this is possible with any retailer, what are other choices that sell Iphone and accept PayPal for unlocked iPhone?

You don't see the pay in 4 option when you check out with PayPal? It was one of the options below my main card and bank account.

I could able to buy with the 20% off through Apple Store . Yea I couldn't see PayPal option through Apple Store app though! But through web I could able to change payment method and complete it . I bought 17 pro max cosmic orange 256gb variant and got that 25000 points credited in PayPal account.
Thank you !
What was your total amount after tax? Mine was $1291.92 and I got a rejection that said the amount is too much for the Pay in 4. I want the PM and not the Pro.

Same here. I have excellent credit, but I am seeing this error message as well.
Talked to paypal rep. Apparently, new accounts won't get the "Pay in 4" loan approval because account needs to be "older". Have anyone got around this issue? I only made the new account because my old account never had the 20% CB reward available.

When I checkout for an iphone 17 pro 512 ($1299 total no taxes for me) and go through the PayPal process it seems to offer pay in 4 as an option. Haven't selected it yet but wondering if the option showing up means it would work even though the total amount is over the $1250 limit? Wanted to ask this wise crowd to see if anyone successfully bought it and received cashback before proceeding and getting some sort of error.

At first, I had the Pay Later option, but I was denied because of suspicious activity. My PayPal account is 18 years old, my credit score is over 800, and my Equifax credit report is open. I called this morning and was told that it's on the merchant's side, which I refused to accept. Then she transferred me to a specialist who never came on after waiting 25 minutes. Anyone else having a similar issue?

Same with me, and I gave up after talking with PayPal as well.
