  • Reward: Once the steps described below are completed and verified, Eligible Participants will earn the $25 USD cash (“Reward”). Reward will be added to the Eligible Participant’s Valid Account within approximately five (5) to seven (7) business days after verification of Eligible Purchases (defined below), but may be available sooner. Rewards are only available to the first 130,000 Eligible Participants to successfully redeem the Reward and will no longer be awarded once the limit is reached, as determined by PayPal in its sole discretion. There is a limit of one (1) Reward per Valid Account. You need to have a PayPal Cash, PayPal Cash Plus, or business PayPal account to have a balance. If you do not have or open one of those accounts, you can only transfer your Reward to your bank account or debit card linked to PayPal.
  • Eligible Purchase(s): Purchases of $35.00 USD or more made at Walmart.com, Ulta.com, DoorDash, Gap.com, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Athleta (including purchases at Gap, Athleta, Old Navy, Banana Republic, but excluding Hill City) (collectively, “Participating Merchants”) in USD using a Valid Account during the Offer Period (“Eligible Purchase(s)”). Eligible Purchases do not include: (1) send/receive money transactions (including those marked as a “Goods and Services” payments), (2) charitable donations, (3) purchases made using PayPal.me; (4) PayPal Cash Mastercard®, PayPal Cashback Mastercard®, PayPal Prepaid Mastercard®, PayPal Extras Mastercard®, and PayPal Business Debit Mastercard® purchases made using the card directly and not through your Valid Account, and (5) in-store purchases at Participating Retailers. If an Eligible Purchase is returned, refunded, results in a failed capture, or otherwise does not complete during the Offer Period, that Eligible Purchase will not qualify toward earning the Reward.

How to Qualify: The are different ways to qualify for this Reward depending on whether the Eligible Participant has an existing Valid Account or opens one during the Offer Period:

  1. Eligible Participants with Valid Accounts as of the start of the Offer Period must activate the offer as described in the invitation to participate and, then, make three (3) Eligible Purchases.
  2. Eligible Participants who sign up for Valid Account during the Offer Period must then make three (3) Eligible Purchases. Signing up for a Valid Account is subject to verification by PayPal.

Our Verdict

Once you save the offer, I assume that means you locked in your spot and will get the credit if you meet the spend. Readers note that buying three $35 Walmart gift cards in three separate transactions should trigger this deal.

were you targeted by Paypal email? Also did you use Discover as your Paypal funding and did that get 5% on the transaction? Thanks for the data points.

Unexpected surprise DP – based on how others got paid quickly, I thought I missed the boat.

Just noticed I got mine on the 6th as well from payments made right before Christmas so it definitely wasn’t capped too early. My last $35 WM gift card was purchased on 12/23.

Many did not get this even though Paypal promoted this on social media as late as 12/24/20. $25 ain’t much, but if they knew it was dead and then promoted it on social media days and perhaps weeks after they knew that, it’s fraud.

Just received the $25 in my account. Thought the limit was reached and I wouldn’t get it since I made the three Walmart gift card purchases on 12/1.

Did send them an inquiry on 12/19 when I didn’t get the bonus and they responded that the reason I might not have gotten the bonus was because the limit was reached or there was a technical issue and a lot of people didn’t get the bonus but once resolved, the bonus could still post.

Looks like it was the latter so still hope for those who haven’t gotten the money yet. Recommend you send them a message if you haven’t gotten the bonus

Reports seem all over the place. Some comments as recent as Dec 23 report getting the credit. Others from earlier report being told the offer reached max participants. Another person was told they’ll get the credit on 12/31.

I personally haven’t received anything to date despite completing the purchases on 11/26. Sent an email to PayPal a few days ago.

PayPal 🤷‍♂️

PayPal responded and acknowledged that they are having ongoing issues with redemption of this reward. They say their engineering team is working on it. Right after their reply, they triggered issued the credit for my account.

It looks like this is still active. I purchased physical gift cards from Walmart.com, 3x transactions, $36, $37 and $38 on 12/18. I received a $25 credit on 12/22.

Fulfilled the offer. Contact PayPal. They told me the limit was reached.

I feel like this is ripe for class action… PayPal tells me the offer is fulfilled but it’s still advertised and can save to the account. That makes no sense. At least in ad law terms I’ve been trained to follow myself 🙂

Got nothing. Meet terms early December. Contacted support. They said offer is full. This ad is still up. As in right now. That appears to me as false and misleading.

I placed three Walmart orders (each is greater than $35) back on November 24, 2020. I did not get the $25 cash back. I contacted PayPal some time ago and was told that my bonus will come by December 31st, 2020. Until today, I still did not get the bonus.

After December 31, 2020, I still did not see the bonus posted, and I contacted PayPal again. The representative said that this is a special case, and he/she needed to transfer my request to a special team. After one or two days, the bonus of $25 showed up on my PayPal account. I used the bonus when purchasing something online today.
