Did it a few days ago. Paid $15.78. No tracking yet
If you pay through paypal, does amex offer work?
Did you try it out to see if it works?
Tried on 11/29, so far no email confirmation, and no credit yet. But I saw an old dp on an old post.
I want to make a purchase, but the buyer doesn't accept AMEX :-(. None of the metals dealers accept AMEX...it is annoying. But they do accept PayPal.
I remember that I was able to trigger the $25-off-$250 Best Buy deal a few years back using PayPal+AMEX (PayPal at the time had a $25 off $250 offer which stacked, so you could get a $275 purchase for $225). Same for B&H Photo, the stackable PayPal and AMEX deals stacked, and AMEX triggered OK.
I looked back, and my insurance payment to Progressive triggered a cash back offer I had with my AMEX card. Progressive doesn't accept AMEX, but it does accept PayPal. The charge showed up as "PAYPAL *PROGRESSIVE 8007764737 OH" on Oct 24. I got the $15 cash back credit on Oct 25. It is worth noting that AMEX offers have been taking 3-5 days to credit whereas in the past it was 1-2 days.
My amex website payment says this charge "Will appear on your Dec 25 statement as PAYPAL *US 4029357733 CA". So, there is no Ebay word, unlike your Progressive charge. Maybe it does not work for Ebay.
Ahhh that sucks. Yeah my entry on PP website for that insurance payment said "You'll see "PAYPAL *PROGRESSIVE" on your card statement." which is exactly what I saw, as noted above.
How to stack/maximize small ebay discounts: Say you're going to buy an item on ebay for $100 and you want to pay only $15 with amex card to get $5 back. You can buy $85 worth of ebay gift card(s) someplace else to get 5-10% discount/cashback first. Then pay for your $100 item with $85 gift card(s) and $15 with Amex card.
Oct. through Dec. I'm using Paypal payment method to buy eBay GCs (any amount up to $250) on CouponCabin for a combined 7.2% discount (2.2% CC CB, plus 5% Chase CB).
In the example above your total savings would be $11.12 vs just $5 CB from Amex.
Check your BankAmeriDeals offers. BofA is offering 5% off on eBay via special link/code. Up to $50 off per transaction. Can be used 10 times (up to $500 combined savings).
I reached out to Doc, hopefully they'll add a separate post about it.
Does anyone know, is it work with multiple purchase?
for example, spends $5 at Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday, totally $15, is it eligible for cash back?
Does ebay take split tender payments? I've never tried and got targeted on all my Amex cards!..... hmm....
Nope, but maybe you can buy a $15 eBay gift card
Ebay does not sell ebay gift card.
They sell digital gift cards? https://www.ebay.com/giftcards.
The question is whether it gets billed as eBay, and if it does whether it'll trigger the AMEX offer.
If you click the button, it goes to https://ebay.launchgiftcards.com/.
Most likely will not work.
yeah, weird
Got this on multiple cards. Bought a lego video game as a Christmas present for $20, so $5 is 25% off. :D No idea what else to buy there though
it's ebay... tons of random things can buy
Thanks! Was waiting for this to come back.
