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.

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.
$1250 is the max cash back value. So you get a max of $250 back. To maximize that, you'd need a $1250 purchase. Pay in 4 limit for total purchase is based on your account. Mine was $1500 but I bet others what more usage will have a higher limit.

Chase doesnt work with pay later
I don't understand how this blocks using the chase 5%? Are you just saying that the only way to get it is to use "buy now" (pay all at once) and not "finance over 24 months?"
If that is all it is, isn't that kind of obvious, that chase will only give you 5% on the charges that actually get charged to them during the December promotion?

Ah so your purchase price was higher and you still could pay with that option but got the Cashback on the $1250 part of the offer. Is that right?

I am having trouble ordering it using Pay in 4 option, On paypal side it goes through and on the apple side I am stuck on the Continue to Review Screen and unable to complete the order. How did you order (what browser, laptop or apple store app etc.)

If you don't mind, how did you order, I have tried 5 times since yesterday to get this order thru, using Pay in 4 option, everytime, I am getting stuck on the review order page on the apple side, and not able to complete the order. Have you faced the same issue and if so how did you order?

Update: I spoke to another rep who told me that I must have used a different device while processing the order, and that prompted the "suspicious activity." How's that even a reason?! I used a laptop in my bedroom and went through the 2FA. I told them that they should stop sending these offers if we're not able to use them. What a waste of time Mad

can someone explain this offer more lol, I see the 20% offer and have it saved, but I do not see any of the merchants I am interested in, Apple, BestBuy- I added an item via bestbuy and when checking out via PayPal it shows me pay in 4 - pre approved, yet the payment split I see is the advertised price, also if I want to finalize it says pay and apply, does this sound right?

Does anyone know if you can do multiple items on one order? Think I'm going to go with the 17 Pro (to replace wife's 12 Pro), as it's already slightly bigger & heavier than her old phone, thinking the Max would be too much. So I was thinking of adding something else (don't know what, esp. since I'm not an Apple guy) since I'd still have $150 ceiling before I max out the promo.Thought maybe Buds Solo, but the Apple price is inflated and they don't have the best reviews. Also seen people post they're getting declined by PayPal, despite having great credit.

Yes. I bought this exact same make/model with the 512. I show the Points Pending in my PP account.

Unfortunately I am not able to complete the order on the apple side for some reason, I called Paypal and Apple several times, and both unable to help. I tried, ordering on phone, laptop different browsers etc. but nothing is helping in terms of completing the order.

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.
