Besides the $10 from $10 spend, I was also able to get the $25 from setting up DD of my tax refund DD from state gov. The 2,500 points were given 14 days after the DD (fine print said will be given within 31 days).

Now I have also done a ‘Pay in 4’ purchase (using PayPal to check out a PetSmart.com order), with the hopes of getting another $10. The PetSmart 1% PayPal Rewards tracked in full, but no indication of the 1,000 bonus points yet. The fine print said will be given within 14 days, so we’ll see.

Update: the 1,000 bonus points from doing a PayPal ‘Pay in 4’ purchase hit my account on May 17th. This was 4 days beyond the ~14 days max. estimate in the terms and conditions.

~14 days or so is how long it took for the regular PayPal Rewards 1% PetSmart reward to go from pending to payable (probably a function of return window). Besides the return window theory, maybe the PayPal delayed 1,000 points was because it was contingent on my second installment payment (2 out of 4) being authorized and posting successfully.

Either the Paypal debit card doesn’t work for this, or rewards only show up once the payment posts; just tried it and no points appeared in the history for a debit card purchase that was still pending, but a CC bill payment that showed as “completed” immediately worked. Thanks Pickle Rick🔗 for the suggestion when I looked up “debit card” in the comments, lol

Bought a $15 Netflix gift card from PayPal gifts and points are pending instantly.

Also saw an PayPal Rewards offer for 1,000 points ($10) for linking PayPal and making a $3+ payment on Google Play. I rented a random movie that cost $3.79 and the points are pending instantly.
