Update: other versions are 8% for Apple Pay (instead of paypal). There are some other variants which have transaction volume requirements and the like.

The Offer
Check your emails for the following offer on Discover card:
- Through February 28, 2026, earn an extra 6% Cashback Bonus on Paypal purchases, up to $500 in spend ($30 cashback).
Our Verdict
Paypal bonus is always nice. Added to the regular 1% earn, it amounts to a 7% total earn. Lots of regular online retailers accept Paypal, and I’d guess this offer would work for using Paypal QR codes in-store as well (for stores that accept that).
You can also pay federal taxes via Paypal, just note that occasionally the cost is higher when using Paypal; double check at final checkout to see what fees they are charging you.
